"Limited has nice options compared to past years (leather seats, moon roof). The navagation/radio unit option is 100% better than previous years. Performance is as expected very good performance and speed. For the price this is a hard car to beat."

"Car does everything important right. Great power, daily driver, great looks, quality interior. Takes curves without a bit of drama. The hum from the boxer engine and exhaust combo is absolutely hypnotizing. Exterior looks are definitely a plus. I get looks all the time. The plasma blue pearl color is absolutely great. The straight line power is way more than enough on highway speeds and I've only been driving on Intelligent mode. You can speed past traffic with absolute ease. The ride is firm, but it's incredibly comfortable. No back pain or cramps after a 5 1/2 hour drive. The SI and C. Differential systems are easy to understand. The navigation takes some getting used to but is quite useful and easy to use. The Ipod, Iphone, bluetooth connectivity is a must and makes you wonder how did you ever get around before without it. The telephone feature could use some work though. Hard for person to hear what you are saying at highway speeds. On;y other drawback are no push start and no power seats. Other than that its really a great little car. Quite the gas guzzler though. 22-23 on the highway and 91 to 93 are a must for filling up. But if you are buying an STI you aren't thinking about MPG. You're looking for a thrill. This those it."

"I have the base WRX model. The design, sound, affordability and performance of this car is off the charts. I couldn't be happier with it. I have never owned a stick car before and am really enjoying this one. The gear box is a bit chunky but I like it. It fits my 16 month old daughter in the back really well and the seats are surprisingly comfortable. My only slight complaint is that the interior feels a bit cheap but really who cares? I didn't need a sunroof, heated seats or any other luxury type items. The trunk is a nice size. It's also nice to have the ipod hookup. The all-wheel drives smoothly and incredibly well through rain or snow. It's probably good to note that the car comes with summer perf. tires so you'll need winter tires at some point. Love it!"

"Got the wrx, not the sti. Needed something w/ awd for the winter. This car should do the trick and was very affordable compared to the other cars I considered. I got the base car b/c I didn't care about heated seats or a sunroof. The stereo has way more functions than I will ever use, and I doubt that I'll ever use the Bluetooth b/c I don't talk on the phone while driving...but they are standard equipment. The wheelbase is alot shorter than my other cars', so it seems like a hoot to drive."
