Used 2007 Subaru Impreza 2.5i Hatchback for Sale near Los Angeles, CA

Reliable little car, with a great AWD system. Exterior styling OK (albeit an acquired taste...) but interior very bland. Tin can sounds when slamming the doors was rather disappointing. Somewhat lacking on power, safe handling, with marked understeering when pushed. Great in the snow or mud.

I went with the impreza because living in a mountainous environment (albq. NM) and going skiing often I find myself more often than not especially during winter on snowy/icy roads. The AWD on the impreza was definitely my biggest reason for getting it plus the reputation and coolness/uniqueness factor of the Subaru line of cars. After much deliberation I purchased an 07 impreza hatchback. I opted for the 2.5i because I really could not afford the wrxs or stis and I felt it would get better gas mileage. So far I've been happy with it. I purchased it used, it had about 45k miles on it when i got it. I've put about 6k on it in the last 7 months. No problems so far. Though my AC seems to be weak. Anyways love the look of the car. Plan on doing some exterior mods and such. Biggest complaint...umm probably the power. I know I shouldn't be complaining cause its not turbo charged but i honestly thought it would be a little faster. Sometimes especially when i have the AC going and i'm merging on the highway accelerating pretty fast the car lags kinda of a pet peeve of mine. Also the epa gas mileage for the 07 2.5i I believe is around 25-27. I'm pulling 22 to 23 tops which I'm a little disappointed about but whatev. The handling is awesome. I've used the AWD a little bit in the rain and planning on using it to its full potential this ski season. I hope to hold onto this car for a few more years then upgrade to wrx or sti. I recommend this car to those who want AWD and yet don't desire the turbo's subaru offers.
