Smooth ride, all wheel drive, sporty, good mileage - everthing you want in a car at a great price. If you are in the market for a new car, check out the Subaru line. The price on these solid automobiles is amazing. Check out other automobile's basic lines and compare them to the Subaru, no comparison.

i recently purchsaed my 4th subaru, a 2010 impreza outback sport, my last vehicles were full size outbacks and a legacy wagon. i was happily surprised with my imprezas comfort and its peppyness . the only thing that i miss is the roominess in the hatch, but it has all the features of my outbacks, 17 inch tires , heated seats , heated mirrors,but the bonus is the 10 speaker radio, the outback only had 6 and you notice the difference.

I think that it is one of the better car values out there. I owned 2 consecutive Hyundais and although they were pretty good, the Outback Sport feels more solid. What I like the best about it is that in the wet weather there is no wheel spin. The car just accelerates normally like it would on dry pavement. It handles very well and has an amazing turn radius. The standard stereo is pretty good the 2010 has a 6 disc changer with radio controls on the steering wheel. It comes standard with 17 inch Alloy wheels and run flat tires. Can't wait for the winter to turn on the standard heated seats. The only negative comment I have is the storage in the hatch. With the seats folded there is plenty of room, but with the seats up it is a little small. Overall I think it's a great car and well worth the money.

I ordered my 2010 WRX with the options I wanted since it's tough to find exactly what you're looking for in stock. I used to own an RX8, so I shopped the MazdaSpeed3 first. The WRX accelerates quicker, and it puts the power down better. It's also much more comfortable, and cargo and rear seat space are substantially better. Plus the interior is classier. I've driven about 13K miles and get between 22-24 mpg in mixed driving, and as high as 26 on the hwy. Manual transmission is outstanding for commuting. You can idle in first without lurking or shaking, and the hill hold feature works well. Sometimes hard to get 3rd gear when accelerating hard, but otherwise shifts very smoothly. I think I'll keep the stock shifter. Handling is above average, turn in is razor sharp, but it doesn't have the same stable grip in high speed sweeping curves as my RX8 had, unless it's raining. The WRX is unbelievable in the rain. And when you put the WRX in 2nd gear and punch it, your head will snap back and you feel it in your gut. It's almost scary fast, but I'm getting used to it now. I especially love the smoothness of the boxer engine. I've had no mechanical problems at all, and this car seems very well built. I have a few complaints. The stock radio is poor (will need a serious upgrade), and the dash and A-pillar rattle, especially in the cold, and the cargo cover rattles so badly, I had to take it down and I only use it if I have suitcase/travel bags in the back. And, if you change your own oil when the maintenance plan is over, you have to unbolt and unclip a large cover to get at the filter.

When I test drove this car I was astonished by it's all around performance! The 4cyl boxer is very robust and the whole car just seems well balanced. To top things off, it's very utilitarian. I can pop the hatch, fold the back seat and put my bike or skiis right in! My favorite thing is the STI's easy upgradeability. I installed an INJEN intake, Greddy Catback exhaust, and Brembo Drilled rotors all on my own. Then I took it for professional tuning and managed to achieve 360 hp and 355 lb/ft of torque. The grand total for the car with all the extras and tuning came to about 42k. I'm very impressed

This is my first new car purchase, and I've been waiting, patiently, to purchase a WRX ever since I laid eyes on the '05 "rexs." This car is simply, fantastic. I love the interior compared to others in this same class. The seats definetely keep your butt lodged in the seat when you are giving it full throttle, but are not uncomfortable for long drives. The 2.5 liter turbo motor has PLENTY of power for everyday driving, but I haven't yet raced it up with anyone. The stereo and speakers in this car are good. I have read plenty of reviews, and have heard other owners say that the stock radio and speakers are just utter garbage. I totally disagree. The system isn't GREAT, but it's a quality system, no doubt. There is one complaint that I have this car. One, is the stock armrest. I feel it should come forward, and higher by about 3-4 inches. No worries, however, as that is one of the options that I chose to not get with the car. I regret that, but it is something I can get later on. This car is absolutely fantastic, and I suggest anyone that is looking for this type of car (4 cylinder turbocharged cars) test drive this car. As soon as you feel the boost kick in, you'll want to take it home!

I love this car! I traded in a 2007 Mazda CX-7 for a brand new subaru! I love my Impreza and wouldn't trade it for anything...I don't believe I'm going to buy any other kind of car but Subaru's from now on!!! I think it is easy to drive and almost drives all by itself. I feel safe and love this car

Well, just picked one up today(AUTO), Silver color and love it. I drove a 09' Sedan for about three weeks(rental) and it drove nice. The wife really love the Sport model. THE GOODS: I love everything about it, the exterior look(different than the competition)looks a little bit like a muscle car(IMO. The engine comes with plenty power(170 HP) some SUV like Honda CRV and Toyota Rav(I-4) come with that power and are much heavier. The interior is nice too, decent radio, they called it a 10 speakers(4 at the doors with tweaters counted as 2=8 speakers and two separate tweaters on the front doors=10 speakers) No XM, you have to added it for almost $400 not including installation, no thanks. It comes with an Aux so you can use your Ipod/Mp3 player. Heated seats/front windshield(wipers) outer mirrors. Dimmed rear view mirror with compass and garaged door opener. I done lots of research on the Impreza, I even joined a group forum. Again, I drove the sedan for three weeks before. The car is lots of fun to drive. Even the suspension is a heavy duty(sport model) it drives very nice, especially in tight turns. On the 10' model, the rear brakes are disk as well(drum brakes in 08'-09' models) The wife really loves it too, after all is her ride. My main concern is safety and this vehicle is a top pick. Decent price. CONS: I wish it comes with a little more room in the back(seats). The passenger seat(little uncomfortable) It should come with XM and Bluetooth(blue only available with Nav) I wish it had at least a 5 speed tranny instead of a four. Overall, is my top pick, better than the Honda Civic, Toyo Corolla/Matrix/Vibe. Heck, for the money, you get lots of safety, features and most of all, an All Wheel Drive. I will update more info as I go. Do your research, look @ cars.com for info and prices. Deal with diff dealerships and get a good deal. BUCKLE UP, CHICKS DON?T DIG DEAD GUYS BUCKLE UP!!!!!!!
