Sporty little hatch with all the right upgrades to a Subaru. Better road noise. Better handling. Better Styling. Simple in all the right ways, and symmetrical cockpit.

I was looking at the Subaru Impreza and found the Saab 9-2x. It's a Subaru chassis (Fuji Heavy Industry) but Saab tweaked quite a bit. Saab improved suspension system, upgraded steering rack, improved sound deadening area's , added a winter packages , HID lighting and leather interior option. The Aero comes with 17" BBS rims. I bought a 2005 9-2x linear instead of buying a 2006 WRX Impreza and I'm really impressed. Obviously there almost the same vehicle but the Impreza has such a hollow sound inside the car when your driving. The ride quality is a but softer but still very firm to the road. Excellent gas mileage with option of driving as a FWD by installing the 10A fuse in the fuse box. Remove the 10A fuse and your in AWD again. Excellent vehicle as far as reliability , fairly easy to do preventive maintenance and repairs.

First, it looks great for a 2005. It's a Saab 9-2x (a rebadged Subaru WRX, if you didn't know). I've had many people tell me it looks quite snazzy. I'm so glad to get a manual shift (I say it's too teach my children before it's too late, but I miss manual). The car itself needs a little work, but it seems to have a lot of pep (the turbo). And now that winter is here, I'm glad I have AWD.
