2010 4dr Wagon 256-horsepower 3.6L H6

Price new was $33K; about the same as every other car we considered, including the LR2, C300, XC70.

Very expensive.
2009 4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4
5-speed manual AWD
During Cash for Clunkers Subarus had limited incentives compared to other vehicles normally selling at a higher price point and with more content.
2007 4dr Sedan 245-horsepower 3.0L H6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD
$33,000 starting price. For what amounts to a nice station wagon.
2007 4dr Wagon 245-horsepower 3.0L H6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Very high resale values and popularity make the car very popular for resales. Unfortunately the vehicle has a higher sticker price. This is easily offset in the long run on reliability.
2005 4dr Wagon turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Damn, it was expensive (one year old and cost $24K, original price something like $32.5K) but you get what you pay for I think.
2003 4dr Wagon 212-horsepower 3.0L H6
4-speed automatic AWD
High price for its class

2007 4dr Sedan turbocharged 224hp 2.5L H4

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.

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

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

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
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.
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.
2003 4dr Wagon 165-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed automatic AWD
Even old models with high mileage cost alot.
