2012 Impreza - base 2012 Subaru Impreza / WRX Pros and Cons Member5347 The powertrain is adequate for my needs of carrying the family and commuting to work. If you want to engage in some shenanigans when driving solo, just be delicate with the gas pedal. Else it will just generate a lot of noise when you mash the gas pedeal and not... |

Manual transmission, AWD, sport sedan for $30K. 2013 Subaru Impreza / WRX Pros and Cons Member2429 I needed to replace my painfully unfun Rogue and impractical (mostly due to weather) motorcycle with something fun and practical; strangely it was between a WRX and a MINI, I went with the WRX. My Rex is a tad bigger that I would like and the interior has some swoopy/cheesy/cheap... |

Practical, fun to drive, and good value but with plenty of room for improvement 2012 Subaru Impreza / WRX Pros and Cons Member5883 Engine is simply weak. The CVT works well but can only do so much to mask the engine's lack of power. |

Subaru Impreza - Sleek, Simple, Practical 2013 Subaru Impreza / WRX Pros and Cons Member5825 Two-Year Veteran AWD and fuel economy combined? Sold. |

great car, this new subaru impreza 2013 Subaru Impreza / WRX Pros and Cons Member2749 Excellent in snow, great on ice. With good winter tires - pure pleasure to drive. |

Value All wheel drive, needs interior refinement 2011 Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport Pros and Cons alex_r The 4 speed auto does not perform efficiently, although it is fast to shift and quite bulletproof. |

WRX- Best bang for the buck but at a premium. 2004 Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport Pros and Cons Member5686 Subaru's 4EAT automatic transmission and its internal gearing is not the best for those seeking performance. The 4EAT seems to be a bit mismatched when linked to a turbocharged engine. Buy a 5 speed manual if this is you’re your after. Not the most even tempered of transmissions. Sometimes... |

Good, practical if uninspiring 2012 Subaru Impreza / WRX Pros and Cons timneyb AWD for Northeast winters was a major selling point, while not sacrificing fuel economy too badly was an additional plus. |

2012 Subaru Impreza / WRX Pros and Cons Member4354 Very responsive, hitting 3500rpm is about where the turbo kicks in and it is a heck of a ride after that. Otherwise, the powertrain seems to respond well to inputs. |

2012 Subaru Impreza / WRX Pros and Cons Member131 Second generation CVT is great...very smooth and quiet. |

2012 Subaru Impreza / WRX Pros and Cons Member4193 The subaru has proven AWD. The Ford handled very well and even had more power, but I live in a region with a lot of rain and snow. AWD is a trump card. The Subaru's CVT is very refined. It usually leaves you plenty of power to accelerate when you... |

2009 Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport Pros and Cons Member5227 horizontally opposed boxer is much smoother than other typical I4 engines. |

2007 Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport Pros and Cons Member4324 4EAT Auto tranny is durable but somewhat abrupt. Practically bullet proof trans and power train - even going WOT for economy car. Permanent AWD is a gas guzzler but only requires regular gas. |

2009 Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport Pros and Cons Member2317 Plenty of power, lots of torque. Has nice pull when you downshift to get to passing speed. |
|
2009 Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport Pros and Cons Member2317 More than fast enough and great pull when downshifting to get to passing speed. |
|
2010 Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport Pros and Cons Member5140 This was the first car I test drove that did not feel like it had a small 4 cylinder engine under the hood. Its acceleration is comparable to or better than the biggest V8s available. The deep growl of the boxer engine is pretty cool, too. |

2011 Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport Pros and Cons Member5002 Lots of power w/very little turbo lag. |
