| Price of the Subaru Impreza / WRX / STI: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 224hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
I found a great price on my WRX from a private seller. Was in stock form and seem to run fine. |
| 2006 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 230hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
Relatively inexpensive for what you get - only similar cars are German and $10K more. |
| 2006 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 230hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
Very reasonable price for AWD, 240hp and reliable vehicle |
| 2006 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 230hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
Very reasonable for what one gets - at least it was in the 2006 model. At $23K for an AWD little wagon with 230+ hp, great reliability and lots of fun it was nearly unbeatable. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 165-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
Negotiated 18K out the door, great value! |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD |
While the STi is not cheap by any measure, it will outperform many cars twice its price. It only has one serious rival in its price/performance class (Mitsubishi Evo). Otherwise, it will eat most other sport sedans for breakfast. |
| 2003 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 227hp 2.0L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
The WRX came with metallic paint (extra cost on the BMW), cloth seats (not available on the BMW), and a cassette player AND 5-disc in-dash CD player (combo not available on the BMW), offered higher performance and cost $15k less. |

| 2013 | 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.0L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
Subaru Canada, I have a question for you: why you charge 2k more here than in States? Give me one reason, please... |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
This car is considerably more expensive than a Civic due to the AWD and turbo powertrain. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
It was a little more expensive than the GTI I bought plus the loan would have been at a higher interest rate. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 305hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD |
Making it every month !!! |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
I feel the car is about 20% too expensive for what you get considering the poor quality of materials and low interior build quality. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 305hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD |
New and rare model made the dealer unwilling to deal. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 305hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD |
The new and relatively rare nature of the car made the dealer unwilling to deal. |
| 2004 | 4dr Wagon 165-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD |
Expensive compared to other comparable subcompacts, but you get AWD, many safety features, and high resale value. |
| 2004 | 4dr Wagon 165-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD |
I had a hard time finding a good one in the used market and it was impossible to get a deal because of the scarcity. |
| 2003 | 4dr Wagon 165-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD |
Even old models with high mileage cost alot. |

| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
honda lease rate is very good |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
I got good interest rates from Honda. They also paid off the remainder of my lease on my Ford Ranger so I could trade it in 2 months early. There are also many options available on a lease. Overall it was cheaper than a similar Toyota Corolla. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 197-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
It is the "fastest" car under $20k and very fun to drive for the price. You do not feel like you are driving an "economy" car. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
While not the bargain they once were, Honda still offers good value for the money. Maintenance costs are relatively low as well. |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
My Civic was reasonably priced and monthly payments are easy on the budget. |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Not expensive for what you get. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 197-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Overall total cost of ownership was far less than other sporty models, to the tune of over $1200/year, before even considering the lower price and less depreciation. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Cheap. Got it used from dealer for 16,000 w/only 3,000 miles on it. |
| 2003 | 2dr Coupe 127-horsepower 1.7L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Lots of bang for what we paid. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 115-horsepower 1.7L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
This car was within my price range for monthly payments. |

| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
A comparable Civic is about $5,000 more than the Forte. Interest rates for 5 year plans were also higher. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
good sales people but not much in the way of discounts or coming off the sticker or dealing ,at sticker they make at least 1500 per car and they dont really want to deal any off the sticker and say they will sell eventually |
| 2009 | 2dr Coupe 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
too expensive |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
price of 20 k Euro a little too high |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
to expensive at 20,200 Euros |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Too pricey for what you get. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
You can expect to pay somewhat of a premium for the name, compared to other cars of similar features/economy. |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
In order to get the features that were comparable to the Elantra I had to at least get the LX model. It would have cost me close to $5,000-7,000 more to get an LX civic coupe versus the final cost of my Elantra. |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
It costs more, with less to offer, than the Scion tC ... unless you can haggle them down on the price. And good luck with that at a Honda dealer. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Civic is a good vehicle overall, but Honda name commands a higher price with few cutting edge features by comparison to usual (Toyota/ VW /Mazda) and not so common (Hyundai / Kia / Pontiac) rivals. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Price was non-negotiable in 2006 it should be better in the current economy. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 93-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid 5-speed manual FWD |
Do not buy a hybrid if you want to save money. It will cost you more than an LX Civic, even in the long run. |
| 2003 | 2dr Coupe 115-horsepower 1.7L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
No room for bargaining, and the car was $4000 more than the Protege. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 115-horsepower 1.7L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Have a high resale value, so it might not be on the top of the list when buying used. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 127-horsepower 1.7L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
too high |
