solid vehicle
We purchased a base Impreza sedan with a 5 speed, and it has plenty of power, handles well, is very solid and gets good mileage with the manual. My only significant complaint is the small trunk, which is apparently corrected in the 2012.

Amazing car!
I really love my new impreza! I got the 2.5i premium with the all winter package so it has almost everything I could ask for! The only thing I wish it did was keep the electronics on after the car is off, until you open the door. I get way better gas milage than what the estimate is! I get about 30-33 hwy and 24ish in the city!!! Overall I couldn't be happier because it has great handling, safety, gas milage, and electronic features!

Not bad for a commuter car
I have a white sedan 2.5i premium w / manual trans. and nav I got a good deal on this car, I live in Colorado and commute so having AWD was the determining factor. The MPG isn't terrible on the freeways, interior is pseudo classy albeit very spartan. Definitely a better car with a manual transmission as opposed to the aged 4-speed. All in all i haven't had any problems and it isn't too hard on the eyes. Good car.

Excellent Car!
I have owned Subaru's for years and have always been a fan. I was stupid enough to trade down to a Jeep and will never do it again. This car turns on no matter how cold in the winter and goes through every environment that I put it through. The only thing that I am not satisfied with is if you have the slightest amount of condensation in the car (say rain drops getting in while getting in or out during a storm) and if it gets cold enough at night, the inside of the windows ice up. Other than that, great deal!

Love the 'Baru
This is my first Subaru, while shopping looked at all the FWD hatches. The impreza premium gives you everything. The only thing it was missing was leather and power seats. But for less then 19k what more can you ask for. Some of the options that came with mine that I love Bluetooth hands free,moonroof, heated seats, heated mirrors, heated windshield wipers, fog lights. The radio needs to be a little louder though, was kinda not happy about that. I traded in a 07 mustang for it and found the impreza much more fun to drive. And wish it was an option for leather seats. I suppose they could of put leather in it aftermarket, but didnt want to spend that much on a second car. But will buy Subaru again.

Kick the Tires!
I'm writing this as a 2011 even though I own a 2009 to warn you to check the warranty on the tires.(There isn't any) This fact is becoming painfully clear as I'm having to replace all of the original Bridgestone Potenza tires with less than 19,000 miles. Figure another thousand for tires in the first two years you own the car. Other than that it's a good little car that goes great in the snow. A middle arm rest would have been nice and you pay a penalty in trunk space for the AWD.

2nd Subaru
I got a 1993 Subaru Impreza for my 16th birthday and have been driving it ever since. I just purchased the 2011 Impreza and I couldn't be happier. The new Impreza is like a grown up version of my old one. Handles really well and standard all wheel drive can't be beat. The styling of the car is fairly basic but as with all Subarus there are several neat features. I purchased the all weather package which includes heated seats, moon roof, fog lights and my favorite; heated panels on the wheel shield that defrost the wipers.

Absolutely Love this Car!!
I have had a 2011 WRX STi for one month now and I absolutely love it! I live in Montana where the snow, cold and ice can be an issue getting around. Not so with this car, I have had no problems and actually have been working to get this car to slip/slide, spin out and under the "normal" setting it is nearly impossible. So far only once, with rain on top of snow, did I slide a little but the vehicle quickly adjusted and within literaly 2 seconds was back on track. There are two small complaints I have: the location of the seat heaters and the fact they stay on continuously; and, second is the snow pack in the wheels causes horrible road vibrations at higher speeds (70-80 mph).

Fun,Fast and Freaking Awesome
Living in the northeast I needed a car with AWD and I needed 4 doors because I have 3 kids. Instead of settling on a typical boring Awd drive sedan, I purchased a 2011 Wrx limited with amazing black leather seats and all the power I could ask for and the safety and relaibility of a Subuaru. Just make sure you test drive one before you settle on another car because the car looks and drives Fantastic!
