"This is my third car and the only reason why I got it was because I needed something AWD/4WD to get back and forth from school and work during the winter months. I have to say, this car has outperformed any others that I have owned! Very quick, very reliable and very comfortable to ride in for long trips and it's very easy to pass other vehicles on the highway. I average around 27 MPG with this car, which is expected because of the added weight of the AWD system (and I'm a bit of a leadfoot.) There were several bad snow storms where I live and the car took the roads very nice and smooth on those bad days, no problems with slipping or sliding around (as long as you go way under the speed limit). I did have some troubles when I first got the car (used) the windows were rolling up and down VERY slow and there was one night where the window wouldn't go up at all. Took it to the dealer the next morning and the problem was fixed! Apparently, the windows needed greased up or something of the sort. I DO wish this car had a better sound system and I'd like to be able to turn it up a bit without it sounding distorted and vibrating like crazy. And I have also noticed that if you have the A/C on high for a long time, it can really suck up the gas (more than usual), but this doesn't seem to be such a big problem. I bought this car in January '13 with 58,000 (exactly) and it now has almost 65,000 miles. Overall, this is a fantastic car and I would recommend it to ANYONE. I would also recommend investing in an upgraded sound system for a full experience of what this car is capable of."

"Bought at model year end. Dark grey metallic, great color I constantly get compliments. Installed Perrin turbo back exhuast and got it custom road tuned. Dynoed at 289 HP and 301 torque at the wheels! This car smokes stock STi's and 90% of the cars on the road. How many all wheel drive cars with almost 300 wheel HP get 26mpg like my Subie?! Love the styling, it is a sleeper, beamers and rice rockets never see the beatdown coming! Running steel wheels with dunlop snows in the Minnesota winters. Unstoppable in the snow. I go out during snow storms to play and try to get stuck but never have. Even with the low ground clearance you can rock it out of almost any snow condition. Pros= too many to list. Buy one, you will never go back. I was surprised to see how devoted and proud Subaru owners are, I get waves from fellow Subie drivers almost everytime I take her out for a run."

"I bought a Subaru Impreza because it was the only inexpensive mid-size with 4WD. At first I thought it was underperfoming. As I compared it to similar cars, especially a Mustang covertible, I found it to be a well handling and with sufficient power for my needs. I plan to keep it forever or death."

"For the size of the vehicle, the impreza handles great with a smooth ride, acceleration, and handling. It has enough power to accelerate quickly. A very reliable vehicle with no problems. I have the 4 speed automatic sport shift transmission which can be driven like a manual. The transmission is strong and reliable, engine runs sound, and brakes still feel great. The 2009 has been a great car and very comfortable ride. Gets excellent gas mileage for all wheel drive as I've got 32mpg on the interstate driving across country. The worse I've had was 23 in the city."

"This was my second Subaru purchase. We had just purchased the 7-seater Tribeca, and wanted a 2nd car to tote around in. The Imprezza Outback Sport in the answer. Love how it hugs the road and its sleek sporty appearance. Averaging about 22mpg, with more city vs. highway miles. I have definitely become a fan of the Subaru, and now know why the catch phrase"love the car you drive""

"I live in MN. My $27k car is faster than $60k BMW and Porsche vehicles, has beautiful AWD, and can not only be used year round, I actually LOOK FORWARD to the winter here. With some blizzaks and traction control off, I've never had so much fun in the winter. Summer is a blast as well with the very sticky stock summer tires they come with. Oh ya, I can fit 2 bikes and a subwoofer with room to spare. 5dr is the only way to go."

"I didn't have a lot of money to spend on a dependable AWD vehicle for those inclement northern Ohio winters. The Subaru Impreza ended up being my choice. If it's reliable transportation in snowy conditions that you're seeking and you don't have a lot of money to make that happen, this is a fine investment. It cuts through the snow effortlessly and does so with a little bit of zoom to boot. Inside the car is lacking in almost every way. For the entry level hatch, the fit and finish are mediocre with a lot of cracking and rattling in the unpadded dash. The driver's seat is already starting to show wear after one year and the stereo is anemic for those who love to rock. Gas mileage is also disappointing. If you need the extra space and have a little more cash, the Forester will give you equal gas mileage but give you more room. In short, this is an affordable car that does a great job in the weather. If that's what you need, you will be very well served. Know, however, that this is about all you're getting."

"265hp...Navigation, AWD and quality that is better than vehicle with double the price tag! What else is there to say ...except see ya! Ohio dealerships could learn a lot from New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts! My last three are from out of state! More than happy to drive 400 or 500 miles to save thousands. The upgrades in the navigation systems are outstanding even from 2 years prior...Thank you Subaru!!!"
