Car Was Alright

Drove Alright, made lots of noise. No Aux input was very annoying. The car's AC never worked either so the car was very hot being black on black.

You'd love this car

My favorite brand is Subaru, because you feel safe when you drive it in dry, snow or rainy conditions. When you drive through the curves at any speed you can feel it in your steering wheel. The AWD makes a good difference. Furthermore, the car doesn't give any trouble I reached 112000 miles in my Impreza and I had never issues. The interior is simple. Yes, other brands offer more electric amenities but I really don't need them. I like a simple, save and reliable car and that's why I like Subaru.

Subaru Impreza 5 Door

Excellent first time owner vehicle for safety, fuel efficiency, cargo and passenger space. Holds up well to aggressive wear and tear from extended use for outdoor activities. Plenty of room for a move across the country. Just enough room for your first child seat.

Reliable, fun, inexpensive

This care is a great opportunity for someone looking for a reliable, easy to use, fun to drive car. While not a sports car, the base 2.5i is still very fun around the corners. Seats are a bit boring, but supportive.

Reliable, warning lights on panel are very helpful

The biggest problem or issue I have, the CD player stopped working, froze up, CAN NOT GET OUR CD's out!! we tried everything the manual said, nothing!!! When I inquired about it at the shop, Subaru said it would cost $1500.00 plus, to fix it! REALLY!!!??? TO GET MY cd'S OUT?? If I new how to replace a stereo, I could get one for low cost and replace, I want it to work, but just to get our CD's out would be Awesome!!

Best car I ever owned.

I've owned this car for about 4 years. It's a 2008 STi Hatchback. In the northeast, it gets me from A to B with all season tires in the winter. Never had any problems with it. Great reliable car as long as you maintain the fluids.
