Love my Subaru

I owned a 2004 WRX, I traded it for a 2009 WRX. I have been driving for over 50 years, and this is the best car I have ever owned. 9 years old, and very few repairs beyond simple maintenance. plenty of power, great handling, and the resale value is hard to beat.

Great value for the price.

Very comfortable for a smaller car. Handles well. Adequate power for a 4 cylinder. Can count on getting many miles from a Subaru.

Reliable and Stylish

The standard transmission works well as does the engine performance in this fairly basic Impreza. It is a fairly comfortable ride and space enough for a driver height of 6' 2". Styling is what sold the car as did the AWD.

Good pick-up, tight ride

The ride, performance (for a 4 cyl), gas mileage and styling make for great overall value. This is a car you can easily run up 250k+ miles if desired.

Best car ever!!

It is super comfortable and very reliable. Sturdier than any other car I've driven. I have the 5 speed manual Impreza 2.5i hatchback and it has been the best car to commute with and to get better at driving manual with. I love it!!

Nice, reliable car

Reliable car for winter time, thought it did pretty well in the snow. Good gas mileage. It handles well, has plenty of power, well placed controls, spacious and has very nice styling. At 85,000 no serious mechanical issues.

The WRX is a great all around car!

Most reliable bang for your buck car you can probably get. AWD, turbo, hatchback, and dependable. I had a blast daily driving this car everyday for over three years.

Most reliable car on the road

Love it. Realizable, safe, and built to last. They have pep when you need it and four wheel drive works incredibly well in snow and hard rain.
