I love this car.

I love this car. It was passed down to me from my dad, and has been a reliable daily since 2012 (writing in 2024). This car has taken me through college, and a fair number of road trips. Highly recommend for anyone that wants a daily that you can have fun with on the weekend.

best sports sedan in its class

The BEST all weather sports car. Fast, with no mechanical issues in 7 years of ownership. I slowly added aftermarket parts as weekend warrior-mechanic. Not hard at all. Road noise was annoying so make sure when you are buying tires you take that into account.

They Found it and I Bought within 2 days.

This dealership earned the five star from me and my wife. The staff and Ali did a fantastic and fast job. I was in the market for a Subaru WRX STI, after my accident and wanted to buy it locally without paying useless fees and etc. They did an amazing job and found me the car within 2 days. It was a very smooth transaction. And I have absolutely no complaints.

Great family car

I commute roughly 1-2 hours a day and this car was perfect for the long rides, fuel efficiency, and performance. Can?t wait to see how well the all-wheel drive come winter!

Great car, a little pricey but worth it

Car was great. A fun toy. Fast and handled perfectly. The cars leather seats were nice and the heating feature helped a lot in the winter.

I loved it till it left me on the side of the roa.

Beautiful, fun, fast, very fun, fast car. Just not reliable and expensive to fix. I would not recommend this car to anyone that does not have 20 thousand dollars laying around to fix it every 10 thousand miles.

Fun-All around Sports Car

I wanted a sports car that I could daily drive and not have to worry about driving in the winter. The car has plenty of power and can easily be tuned for more. I am still young, so the somewhat harder suspension does not bother me. The stock exhaust is still fairly loud, but sounds amazing when you step on it. I plan on holding onto this car for a while. It was also my first manual transmission car. When everything is stock, it is very easy to drive. Subaru did not disappoint my dreams!

Great car. Fun drive.

Love this car. Have a great time driving it around on the weekend and going on cruises. Great looking car, too. Definitely make my other car enthusiast friends jealous!
