2006 Subaru Impreza consumer reviews

This is my first car as a teenager, and I have to say it's the best thing i could ask for. New Hampshire gets some pretty bad weather, but AWD even without snow tires is very reliable. I got it in a standard 5-speed, and it's a blast. Even though it's now a WRX/STi I can still go hard on the throttle with no problems. I plan on driving this thing until it's limping.

I had a 2006 WRX and loved it from day one.Then i started to make it my own and boy did this car perform.Never had a issue with the car.Only mistake I made was I had to sell it......but this 2006 Sti sure does look good and sound like it doesn't need anything els but a driver.

A great place to buy the car of your dreams. Great service and no hassle. Very pleased with my purchase. I give it a 10 out of 10!

This is my 4th Subaru that I've owned. They are a great car. I got 225,000 on my last one until an accident totaled it. It still had original brakes, clutch, exhaust, starter, alternator, etc. All I ever did was the normal recommended maintainance. the head gaskets go at around 100,000 miles but it's a small price to pay. Can't beat that value!

Great car. Lots of fun to drive. 5-speed manual has pleanty of pick up for back roads and highways. It handles like a dream, responsive steering, well balanced suspension, and good breaks. The exterior is nice and sporty without being too flashy. Where the wrx is a bit conspicous, the 2.5i flys under the radar. The interior design is clean and the instruments are easy to read without being too cluttered. Everything is in reach and in a practical location. The only drawback for me is the seat width. sometimes it feels as if the raised part of the bucket seats is digging into my thighs. It's good when cornering because it holds you in place, but on my long commute it gets a little uncomfortable. There's pleanty of headroom, and visibility is good. Overall a great car, with good value. especially considering that it's almost a sports car and it has AWD with traction control. Very safe, very reliable. Highly recommended.

"I have 3 supra's 680, 960 1372 hp. One Skyline 1250rw hp rb26dett. They blow the STI away. I would use the STI to pick up groceries. The seats are too hot and do not hug the person enough. The power on the turbo spool lags then kicks. Its more like a family car. The design is bulky on the wind. Its over prized. I can get a supra for $5000 and spend less making it faster. I returned my STI the first week!" .... McLovin?

originally bought the car after falling in love with the AWD system, but went with the cheapest version of the impreza. there's nothing cheap about this car though. it's a great value. as expected, the AWD has been a blessing the past three winters. the interior is so comfy and everything is well laid out. fun to drive, great power for a NA 2.5l. the AC cuts down on power more than i'd like, but it cools the car faster than most other ACs. only complaint would be wind noise on the highway from the side mirrors. i don't think i'll ever buy another non-subaru, i love this car so much. it has made my love commutes over the years much easier. highly recommended.

I?ve been driving my WRX wagon for about nine months now and I?m more impressed with it every day. The overall road feel and driver interface is amazing. Steering is precise, and acceleration is exhilarating, even before the turbo kicks in. Previous versions of the WRX were plagued by a pronounced turbo lag and lame torque at lower RPMs, but the new 2.5L engine in the ?06 distributes power across a much wider band. It still jumps at 3500-4000 RPMs when the turbo kicks in, but it?s quicker off the line with a much smoother transition into the turbo burst, resulting in a more even, muscular acceleration. The AWD enables it to handle great on all surfaces and under all conditions. This car is not for everyone, but for those seeking an under $25k ride that provides thrilling performance, AWD capability and day to day practicality it would be tough to do better than the Impreza WRX wagon. Best features: Handling, acceleration, AWD, appearance, small wagon practicality. Suggested Improvements: Road noise, fuel economy, insurance cost, no iPod input, no sunroof available (except with Limited model).

I've had all type of cars from Saab 900, Honda CRX, Toyota Supra, Scion Xb, and I would have to say that the WRX is the most rewarding driver experience. Yes, it could be a little better when it comes to the fuel issue, but it's a small price to pay. I look forward to driving my car everyday. I can't wait till it snows to really see what she's all about. Haven't delt with any issues at all. Did alot of research to find the perfect WRX.
