"The WRX STi is hands-down the best car that I've ever owned. It's handling and control of the road is amazing. The STi makes you feel like you're in control at all times between it's great suspension, AWD, incredible acceleration and fast breaking times. I love this car."

"The subaru WRX is the best sports car you can buy for $25,000. its well equiped, safe, reliable, practical and easy to drive and best of all, fun to drive as well. The car is glued to the road with subaru's AWD system and thrusted forward by a 227 horsepower turbocharged boxter engine wich when coupled to a 5 speed manual gearbox the wrx will get you from 0-60 in under 6 seconds and onto a top speed of over 140MPH. The bucket seats hold you in tight with large side bolsters when going around the bends and are available with heated cushions as an option. I recomend this car to anyone who wants a sports car, a safe car, a practical car, or a reliable car."

Best Bang for the buck of any car I've owned

"I've owned, Ford, Mazda, Porsche, Mercedes, BMW, Toyota and several other makes and the Impreza has been the best bang for the buck thus far. I love the AWD, it's addicting to own and I don't seem myself owning another non-AWD vehicle. I'm not aware of any other car on the road that costs less to maintain and is as reliable and performs as well in terms of handling. Acceleration is definitely acceptable for a car that costs so little."

"I have a stock 2005 WRX Sedan and have had no problems with it whatsoever. The EJ series engines are very strong and reliable. Fit and finish are decent and the total package is hard to beat on value."

"It is the car that I always wanted to own in my youth. Fast, nimble, everything one can want in a performance car. It is not a comfrotable car for those who are larger than average, but that is a smaller price to pay than the MSRP."

"This car is great! It's a BMW without the price. The AWD gives the car superior handling. It is way comfortable to sit in and long trips are no problem. It has a lot of power but still gets good gas mileage. I love my suby and won't buy another kind of car. People always comment on how good the car looks. Thr trunk has good storage too for a compact car. It's sporty and fun to drive."
