What Our Members Are Saying about the Available Features of the 2013 Subaru Impreza / WRX

2013 Subaru Impreza / WRX Available Features: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 2.0L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD	The Subaru has all wheel disc brakes standard. With respect to the car's on lots, it's hard to find the Ford with all wheel disc brakes unless you jump to the SEL. Then the SEL bumps the price up way too much and includes things I don't want. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX review

2013 Subaru Impreza / WRX Available Features: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 2.0L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD	We do miss several little features from our previous Volkswagen Jetta, that we didn't even think to consider in our comparisons. Wipers that slow when you stop, the ability to operate windows after you turn off the car, one touch to the control stalk indicate a quick burst of blinks for a lane change, the absence of some interior lights and rear seat vents, no indicators to let you know a bulb is out; these are among several things we didn't even realise we would be missing. And note we had a bottom of the line Jetta, while this is an almost maxed-out Impreza Limited. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX review
