2006 Subaru Impreza consumer reviews

I traded my Acura RSX Type-S for the 2006 Subaru Impreza 2.5i this summer. That says a little about my previous cars... fast and zippy! I broke the trend with the Impreza because I wanted a car that's great to use for everyday purpose, and I can say it has not disappointed. I test drove the new Mazda 3 GT as well, but this little car out handles it (stock) any day. I've since modified the engine and suspension a bit, and with Subaru's AWD system, I swear it drives like my old Miata (handling wise)... with the bonus of cargo room. Give it try, you won't be disappointed with this base car.

This car is simply great. Very reliable. Sport, yet safe. AWD helps with harsh weather conditions. I think the 15-18 year old boys will like this car the best. Many modifying capabilities.

i guess i might give this car a little too much credit due to the past cars that i have owned but i gotta say that this car gives me all that i need, comfort (sport bucket seats), realiability (subaru's are always realiable), safety (standard side curtains and all-wheel drive), performance ( around 180hp for base model), and style (sport tuned body that's appealing) that just amazes me. i defidently would recommend this car to my friends and family as a great overal car for a resonable price.

Drives a million times better than my 03 Sentra. A strong build and smooth ride. Everyone who I "let" drive loves it and wants one for themselves.

I've driven this high-performance sports car for more than 3,500 miles from NYC streets, to highways. I've put it through a winter, and enjoyed the automatic climate control on warm days. The WRX Limited set me back by about $30,000, and it has been worth every single penny. Every time I walk up to it, I smile - outstanding styling all around the exterior. I think it is the best looking WRX ever. I personally think the 2002's big circle headlamps made the former wrx look awful. The WRX has long been considered among enthusiasts and auto magazines as one of the funnest cars around for the past several years. The terms "pocket rocket" or "the [non-rich] man's sports car" are very good terms for the wrx. This thing can really move, and acceleration is nothing short of breath-taking. I have to be honest and say, sometimes it scares me how fast I can go in this light car. This car, so far, is the car of my dreams. And as I say, sometimes it still surprises me how fast and powerful this little 4 cylinder car is. I have had my eye on the WRX for years. But the headlights of the 2002's wrx were so unattractive to me. Now that I have the '06, I really do feel that it was worth all the waiting, and all the saving up. The '06 is the best performing WRX ever, as many websites state. And it was worth every penny. The 2006 WRX, as many websites and car magazines say, is one of the funnest cars around to drive. It is unique in that the AWD can shift torque around to help you master a curve or turn better. And given all the upgrades to the 2006 WRX, including the bigger engine, tighter handling, stronger brakes, I really do think the WRX should be at the top of any new sports car buyer's list.

Bought this 2006 Subaru Impreza without test drive. Loved it the second I started driving. Handling was great, very responsive acceleration and nice brakes compared to my old Dodge Neon. Felt like a treat after driving a slow moving vehicle for 6 years. The back was a bit too tight, and there was a noise like wind tunnel in the back that would not go away after the dealer replaced the roof rack once. However, this car worth every penny for its price.

My first car was a 1989 Honda Accord DX, it was awesome I drove it to the ground. Then I had this great idea to buy a Ford Focus ZX5, it seemed like a good idea at the time. Got rid of the messy, unreliable Focus and had a moment of clarity. My Subaru Impreza Sport Wagon rocks, it has way more kick then my old focus and it's AWD! I love it!
