Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Excellent all-weather performance and handling, especially considering the price
Cons: Rear seat room, insurance cost, styling not the best
The Bottom Line: Always a fun car to drive, the 2006 WRX handles better and rides more quietly.
Before I bought my current car, a Mazda Protege5, I considered buying a Subaru Impreza WRX wagon. But there were things I didn't care for, aside from a much higher price. The WRX wasn't an attractive car. Especially not in wagon form, where there has ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Power, transmission, gearing, brakes, AWD system, handling, practicality, completeness of package
Cons: No wagon in the USA, boy racer styling, I can't really think of any!
The Bottom Line: A complete supercar that outdoes the big boys on public roads yet manages to be more practical, cost far less and be more reliable.
A childhood friend of mine who is also a hardcore enthusiast recently bought a 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STI. This has been a long in coming deal ever since I turned him on to turbocharged Subarus when I let him try my forester XT over 2 years ago. ...

Pros: Awd, handling, transmission, interior, spartan feel, road feel, top end acceleration.
Cons: Tall gears, not enough bang for the buck, less practical, in shadow of STI.
The Bottom Line: Fun to drive, but not enough bang for 24 thousand bucks given how small it is. You will regret not getting an STI.
I write my review of the 2006 Impreza WRX with the larger 2.5l motor based on having tried the car of a friend of mine. I had the opportunity to try the car over some side roads and highway. Generally I only write reviews of cars that I have had a more ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Power, wagon utility, AWD, , excellent crash ratings, fun
Cons: 91 octane gas and 23 combined mpg is the price you pay
The Bottom Line: I love this car. It's my daily driver, family hauling, sporty midlife crisis, weekend warrior, safe comfort, reliable, and utilitarian car.
I literally researched what new car to get myself for over a year before I bought my 2006 Subaru WRX wagon. Now, after 9 months of ownership, I can wholeheartedly say I made the right purchase. THE SEARCH After driving around in a 1997 Honda Civic ...

Pros: Roomy, functional, handles well. SAFE!!!!! I can't stress that enough!!
Cons: Needs more interior 'storage' space. cigarette lighter fuse blows on occasion for some reason.
The Bottom Line: It is a GREAT bargain for anyone! A lot of car for a little money!
We were finally in the market for a new car, due to absolute frustration with our 'lot' of cars in the driveway. Our eldest daughter was transfering up to Champlain College in Vermont, and we knew we needed a reliable all wheel drive vehicle to make that ...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: Throaty flat-four motor, neutral handling, excellent traction, high value, superb suspension
Cons: Outdated interior and transmission, goofy styling
The Bottom Line: If you can overlook the outdated interior, I recommend this car for its standard safety features, AWD, and excellent handling. Get the stick-shift, though.
With a new mortgage, a new baby on the way, and a wife due to quit her job soon, I was faced with a painful choice: Drain our savings account, or sell the Lexus and get a very, very cheap car. I chose the latter option. This was the first car search ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Handling, acceleration, AWD, appearance, small wagon practicality
Cons: Road noise, fuel economy, no iPod input, insurance cost
The Bottom Line: Affordable performance, AWD capability and day to day practicality make the Impreza WRX wagon tough to beat.
The competition I car shopped intensively for about three months, and considered a wide range of cars including the VW Rabbit, Mazda3, Audi A3, Mini Cooper S and Scion tC. I finally concluded, however, that the WRX wagon is the best overall compromise ...

Pros: Standard AWD, ABS, safety features, rally heritage, great value
Cons: simple interior, cramped space, rear seats don't fold, some understeer
The Bottom Line: A great bang for the buck. A good investment all-around.
Subaru Impreza 2.5i AT A GLANCE Performance: 4.0 At 175 hp (~125 net hp), full-time AWD, and rally-inspired heritage, it is one of the most best performers in its class. Interior: 3.0 Good driver amenities, but not for your ...

Pros: turbo, fast, fun, looks
Cons: gas costs a fortune. automatic expensive
The Bottom Line: good, fast, fun. but less than 19mpg in city in it costs $40 to fuel each time.
I love the WRX. Whenever I look at it, many phrases come to mind: "Wow", "Yeah!", "Let's Go!", "Fast and Furious", "Woooooo Hoooooo!!" I bought my 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX automatic Limited just before Xmas of 2005. Personally, i think light silver ...

Pros: fast, looks, AWD, fun, racing-feeling/dollar ratio is awesome
Cons: gas costs a fortune, automatic almost $30k, more likely to get speeding tickets

Pros: nice
Cons: superb
The Bottom Line: yes
I have always liked the Imprezza. Nope, not because of that blonde australian guy and his retarded commercials. Imprezza chasis is very well known for its accomplishments in the World Rally Cup. In fact, the previous generation WRX is the car that won ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: All wheel drive, Fuel economy, regular fuel, reliability, and low cost of ownership.
Cons: Fuel economy, Hesitant shifting auto tranny, lethargic motor (non turbo)
The Bottom Line: A great winter car, grocery getter, cargo hauler. Just don't expect this car to generate much (if any) excitement at all.
In 2006 I purchased a 2006 Subaru Impreza outback sport wagon. I traded in a 2002 Nissan Maxima, which is horrible in slippery conditions and I had a hard time finding good tires for it. I also foretold the coming of higher gas prices and wanted ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Sporty looks, All Wheel Drive, Interior Space
Cons: Noisy Engine, Seats
The Bottom Line: Good value for the money, but not for everyone. If you want soft and quiet, look elsewhere. If you are looking for a fun car, then check it out.
First off, let me say that my other car is a 2006 BMW 325i, so the bar is set pretty high for me. I say this because, while not quite up to the performance standards of a BMW, the Subaru does offer very good driving excitement for a lot less money! ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Acceleration, traction, easily modded, reliable, roomy, sick.
Cons: People ask if it is my son's car.
The Bottom Line: The Subaru WRX STI needs special owners. Step up if you qualify.
My Subaru Impreza WRX STI is not a looker, but I don't care. The car is not new any more either, with 46K miles on the clock. But that doesn't seem to matter either. There is no navigation, nor mp3 connection. The speakers are barely ...
