Performance- Since my car is pretty modified, I cant base this on comparing to a stock car, but my car will out accelerate mostly any factory car I come across on the road. It runs mid to low 13's in the quarter mile at over 100mph, which is faster than stock stis, evos, camaros, and most corvettes. It also handles like its on rails, and not many cars short of track cars can keep up in the twistys. Build Quality- Build quality is surprisingly good for a japanese compact car, but thats not saying much. It easily beats any domestic manufacturer, and almost can hold a light to german cars. Appearance- Even though my car is putting out more than 315hp, you wouldnt be able to tell it out of a crowd of any other station wagon. The only exterior modifications ive added are gunmetal 17 inch wheels, lowered it a tiny bit, and added some stealty stickers made by the company that tuned my car. Very stealty and surprises many muscle cars. Cost of Ownership- Since I only run premium 92 oct fuel, and synthetic motor oil, it can be a little spendy. But i havent had to do any major mechanical work, and since its a subaru, its very easy to do my own maitnence. Close to 30mpg doesnt hurt either. Fun Factor- No car can compare to the Wrx Wagon for fun. How many other kinds of cars can fit 5 people for a trip to mcdonalds, drive to the track with all your tools and equipment in the back and get 30mpg on the freeway, embarass mostly any car on the road and stay low on the radar with cops? Oh and theres also that subaru rumble and the smile that gets plastered on your face every time you hit full boost...

Its an amazing car. great acceleration. 5.8 0-60, handles curves amazing with no roll. Dont like the deer damage i just got on the passenger side though. that kinda sucks. rare car, fun to drive, great subaru community. gets alot of looks and easy to find good resources on modding.

Great AWD makes it incredibly safe and stable, great handling, great acceleration(as long are in the turbo's spooling range) fun to drive, good interior and build quality, especially for the price, bulletproof reliability, very reasonable cost of ownership. Gas mileage could be better.

great car, drove like a train on tracks, 4wheel drive was great, trim was good the boot was a bit small, and you couldnt stop at traffic lights without someone wanting to race you ( shame they never managed to win :-) )

Just a fun car to drive. Handles well with the symmetrical all wheel drive, a blast in winter on an empty parling lot. Can be driven by Grandma. This wagon is not known for it's potential. 80000 miles and runs just like new, and I do not pamper it ..
