2008 Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by wmeador

Powertrain performance

Excellent power and pickup. The turbocharger has very little lag and is one of the better tuned ones I have driven.

Handling

The car feels like you would expect from a rally car. With the AWD gets around about anywhere.

Ride smoothness

A quite smooth ride. Feels above average, but not a luxury car.

Front seat support & comfort

The seats are relatively comfortable and the fabric is fair to good quality and feel. Definitely felt more comfortable to drive then a Lancer.

Safety & braking

The stability and traction control features make it difficult to lose control and quick to regain control when a problem arises. The brakes are excellent, good range of stopping power and powerful when necessary.

Color choices

The choices are good, but the paint itself is horrible. My red seems worse then most, but Subaru refuses to do anything about it. Have seen pictures of a few others (mainly Blacks) that are as bad though.

Discounts & incentives

Rarely do they seem to offer incentives or deep discounts new.
