Compared to Many of the same type autos You get alot for the Money.Many competitors have the options but everything seems ala cart |
| 2010 | 4dr Wagon 256-horsepower 3.6L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Price new was $33K; about the same as every other car we considered, including the LR2, C300, XC70. |
| 2006 | 4dr Wagon 175-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Got a great deal on a used 2006/ |
| 2005 | 4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
6 year plan @ 2.9% |

| 2011 | 4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD |
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 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 |
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. |
