Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Powertrain, Price, Ergonomics, Performance
Cons: V8 EPA, Blase exterior and interior design
The Bottom Line: A wagon that boasts performance attributes normally associated with a sports car, got to love it.
Subaru has offered many interesting vehicles in the past, the infamous 'Brat' and odd looking 'SVX' to name a few. Interesting is one thing, exciting is another. While many of these Subaru's boasted interesting looks, Subaru has repeatedly ignored...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Explosive power, sharp handling, AWD stability, seats, unexpected level of refinement
Cons: Styling, styling, styling; too good to have fun at legal speeds?
The Bottom Line: As long as you do not require great styling or an elegant interior, the WRX is just about as good as the much more expensive Audi S4.
There are not many Japanese cars with cachet. The Subaru WRX is one of them. For years both Subaru and Mitsubishi have successfully raced high-powered all-wheel-drive versions of their subcompacts in brutal rallies over lengthy unpaved roads. In Japan ...

Pros: Quite and comfortable ride. Stable and sporty looking car.
Cons: Cup holders are too small; can't see the clock.
The Bottom Line: This is a terrific car and I would consider buying one in the future never having thought of a Subaru in the past.
Having spent 3 weeks in Hawaii I have so many reviews I want to write, the only way for me to do this is in the order of experience. I kept a log of each day so I will be writing them as they were done not whether they have 5 reviews or 50. This...

Pros: AWD, agile rally-inspired handling, tons of power and that gorgeous turbo whine
Cons: Looks, interior, speeding tickets....
The Bottom Line: 700 over invoice (yeah around 22,500) for a car with this much power, this great handling and this FUN TO DRIVE? BMW/Audi - NO WAY JOSE!!!
Ok, so I'll be the first to admit, I love powerful sports cars -- Especially the now extinct Japanese elite like the revered Supra RZ and the magnificent RX7 with that moster rotary engine. yes folks, the Japanese have certainly taken the fun out of...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: Looks Cool, Fun to Drive, Cargo Space, Great Engine, Grip and more Grip
Cons: Fools in lowered Civics always want to race, Other choices for $25K
The Bottom Line: There aren't enough positive adjectives to describe how fast, fun and tossable this car is. Thrilling, simply thrilling to drive.
Once in a while a car comes along that is so thrilling, so fun, so wonderful, and yes, so darn cute that you can’t help but take notice. The Subaru WRX Wagon is just such a car. A thrilling Subaru you ask? Yes, thrilling.
Many people may...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Price, performance, AWD, trunk, legroom, headroom, durability
Cons: Outdated and underrated transmission, bargain interior, interior noise at speed.
The Bottom Line: Incredible value in a 4-door sedan. Performance on par with cars costing $10k more. Excellent all-weather car.
I've owned a number of nice cars. Prior to this car, I had a Honda S2000. Some time ago, and BMW 3 Series. The WRX is the Japanese reincarnation of my old BMW 3 series and that is a VERY good thing. I spend a lot of time on the highway to not do it ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Acceleration; composure; quiet, at any speed; AWD handling; civilised; every other WRX driver waves
Cons: Gas mileage; gets too much attention from local racer idiots
The Bottom Line: An absolute joy to drive. Excellent value. Buy one. You too can make up lame excuses to take it out for a spin just one more time!
I took delivery of my Blue Black Mica WRX from Motor Image in KL, Malaysia, roughly 6 weeks ago, and believe me, during that time, I was either driving the car or I was dreaming about it! I've racked up about 3000km now. I'd always enjoyed driving, but...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Fast, great traction & handling, fast, distinctive, wonderful in snow and rain. True giant killer.
Cons: Fuel economy, smallish size, weak paint.
The Bottom Line: If you enjoy smiling a lot and blowing off cars that cost more than twice as much as you car, stick with the WRX.
The 2002 WRX is the first year that Subaru finally graced the US with their detuned rally car. I purchased a rally blue sedan brand new in 2002. It's equipped with the optional rear spoiler and I added the Momo shift knob to match the steering wheel. ...

Pros: Performance, value, comfortable for it's size, 4WD
Cons: not attractive car (grows on you, but not others), cheap interior,
The Bottom Line: Love this Car and miss it badly. My dream garage would have this car parked next to a Porsche turbo!
II bought this car while waiting for my MINI Cooper S to come in. I had the WRX as a daily driver while I had a 240bhp BMW M Roadster (M version of a Z3) in the garage.
I was reading a bit about the WRX and had a Isuzu Trooper as my daily...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: BMW shaming performance. Cargo space. Subaru made.
Cons: Everyone tries to race . It's 'cute'. Can't fully enjoy within legal/safe limits.
The Bottom Line: I love this car, you will too.
I bought my Subaru Impreza WRX last May. I had my eye on the 2.5RS, but it didnt have the power for me. The first time I saw the ad for this car my jaw dropped and I ran to my computer ti find out more. They had me sold with 227 HP and 217 ft*lbs of...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: handling, reliability, Subaru AWD
Cons: road noise, weak AC and brakes
The Bottom Line: This is a car for people who appreciate road feel and drive quality. You pay for Subaru's solid engine and chassis, not amenities.
People who own Subarus tend to be fans for life, therefore they don't need convincing. This review is for those who are considering a Subaru for the first time. Reliability: When deciding on a new car, I was very intrigued by the Impreza but ...

Pros: Explosive power from the Turbo, Rally handling, original style, great seats, PRICE!!!!
Cons: Turbo lag, looks, interior plastic, does not feel solid
The Bottom Line: BEST FEELING AND overall sport package on the street for 24K. Mustang-Camaros can'T catch this beast on open roads!The 2003WRXSTI WILL HAVE 260hp+better handling
I own a 4 door AUDI A6, and am now looking for a smaller and sportier car. My obvious next choice was the S4 as I love Audis. However, being from Europe and very familiar with rally races and cars, I was very excited with the news of the WRX crossing the...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Incredible performance for the money, all-wheel drive and turbo in one.
Cons: Looks like a Dodge Neon on steroids.
The Bottom Line: Fills a niche that has been lacking in the market, performance along with comfort and cost. One of the best sports cars ever offered and I recommend it highly.
I never set out to test drive a Subaru and certainly not to actually purchase one, but that's precisely what ended up happening. I was out test driving a Mustang when I passed a Subaru dealership and wondered if they offered anything interesting aside ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Drives like a champ, comfortable, generally good rep for durability
Cons: Some chintzy interior details, weak power at low revs.
The Bottom Line: Practical and very fun. Takes a little getting used to, but is also very seductive.
I never really thought of myself as a car person. I always drove old beaters with six figures on the odometer before I ever got my hands on them. When the last one went toes-up, I decided to get a new-new car. I test-drove the WRX (among other cars), and ...
