Performance - its got a turbo... 200 to the wheels, and quite torquey Build Quality - Subarus will last forever Appearance - sharp Cost of ownership - not cheap, but worth every cent. Fun Factor - I'd let you try, but its too much fun!

This is the most fun car I have ever driven. Period. Lots of mods already done with plenty more on the way, but the turbo AWD platform is just such a great starting point. I will buy another Subaru in the future.

Enough power, fantastic handling and braking, and very versatile. Looks good inside and out, comes standard with all the features I want in a sporty little car. This car is happy on pavement, gravel, snow, or anything else you want to throw at it. Easy to drive in the city and still gets decent mileage for the performance level.

I found this car to be a machine that is well balanced in every aspect., from power to handling. It is a very unique car being AWD and turbo charged. These are rally inspired cars and it shows on the road. My car has never been tracked just daily driven to and from work.

Stock this vehicle definitely proves itself in the performance category. It's quick to accelerate and fun to drive. Handles well. My car is a 2007 and hasn't needed any repairs yet, though it does have a rattle coming from underneath it, perhaps the heat shield is just coming loose? My WRX is a second generation 'hawkeye' versus the earlier year designs lovingly called 'bugeyes' and 'blobeyes'. I favor mine the most. It's overall looks are very appealing to Subaru lovers. This car is definitely fun to drive and if you were to buy the WRX TR model, the cheapest WRX trim, you are getting the most bang for your buck without going for the more expensive, STI.
