2012 4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 2.0L H4

I am 6'4" tall and this is one of the few compact cars I fit into easily with room to spare. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX review

The rear seats actually have enough space to comfortably fit full size adults or child car seats. The doors open wide making ingress and egress easy. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX review

I've driven between the SF Bay Area and San Diego several times with no comfort issues. As a point of comparison, I am comfortable with long drives in a 2002 Honda Civic and I would like to burn the seats in a 2010 Hyundai Tucson. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX review

The lumbar support is slightly lacking for me, but I have dancer-like posture so it could just be my preference. The seats are very plush and well-designed otherwise... go sit in one. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX review

Seats only adjust two ways, and manual adjustments at that. They're adequate for short trips but uncomfortable if you have to sit for hours. I wish there was an option for multiple power adjustments with memory. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX review

Coming from both an MX-5 and Buick Century the cabin of the WRX is very spacious. There is good room for driver and passenger. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX review

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

2013 Subaru Impreza / WRX Powertrain: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4
5-speed manual AWD
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 plastic; but, and this is a mighty big but, she is uber fun to drive. There are very few AWD, manual transmission, sport sedans out there and this one came in at $30K. I don't think you can find a much better bang for your buck ratio. To add to it all, I have had my Rex for about a year and a half now and absolutely nothing has gone wrong with it. A short throw shifter, stiffer shifter bushings, and using four more PSI in the front tires than in the rear, about $100 worth of stuff, is all it took to make a good driving car great. Seriously the tire pressure bit eliminates almost all of the Rex's notorious understeer. If you want to be able to hit corners hard and get out in front of plodding burbcompoops you might want to consider a Rex. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX review

2012 4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 2.0L H4
6-speed shiftable CVT AWD
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 need see full Subaru Impreza / WRX review
2012 4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 2.0L H4
CVT AWD
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 much else. The changing from Reverse to Drive can be slow(1-2 seconds), but I've read that it is due to a cold transmission in the morning. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX review

AWD for Northeast winters was a major selling point, while not sacrificing fuel economy too badly was an additional plus. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX review
2012 4dr Hatch turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4

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. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX review

Engine is simply weak. The CVT works well but can only do so much to mask the engine's lack of power. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX review
2012 4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 2.0L H4
6-speed shiftable CVT AWD
Although I am generally very light on the throttle, my wife and I really wish this car had a little more power on tap when needed and that the CVT would wait a little longer before backing off into fuel saver revs when accelerating gently. Secondly, we experience a substantial delay before forward gear is engaged when transitioning between reverse and drive. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX review
