Looking at possibly buying a 2016 WRX and I'd like to price one out. What are some of the 'must have' options and other things nice to have?
Truecar shows the average price of a 2016 WRX as ~$27k which is honestly about what I've seen WRXs that are a couple years old going for. Any information on options or just generally pricing of newer WRXs would be appreciated.

Coming from a bose system mazda 3 to the 'kicker' upgraded speakers in my new WRX......get the harman Kardon system. I wanted it so bad but there was not a single premium with HK in wrb in my state or surrounding states. The stock speakesr/kicker speakers are garbage.
And before someone mentions it, yes you can get a better aftermarket sound system for less but after researching aftermarket it sounds it looks like a bitch and a half to install. You practically have to disassemble the whole car to get a new system in.
I wish I had gotten the Harmon kardon speakers. But I just did not have it in my budget. If you can afford it OP, I would say do it. The stock speakers leave more to be desired.
Arm rest extension. I feel bad for anyone that did not get this option. It is still to low, but better. Short throw shifter is nice, but after market is a little better but a bitch and a half to install so up to you there. Other than that meh. Do not get the subaru sti exhaust costs just as much as an aftermarket, but without the sound you are looking for
Is the arm rest extension the same as it was in the GD Subies?
forget the extension, this spacer adds a second usable storage section and also raises the factory armrest to make it actually functional.

also this should've been installed right from the factory

ive only driven the wrx with the sti knob and factory short shift kit and it's perfect with the shift stop.
Wow that is so much less than the one I got from subispeed. Damn. OP I definitely recommend getting this variant of the armrest extension. It is so much better than the USDM OEM extension. The extra cubbie is so useful.
I totally agree. Just picked up a 2016 and the arm rest feels so low and awkward. This really should have been stock.
