Subaru Impreza WRX 2000-2013Change

I always feel safe in a Suburu. Great pick up, lots of room for a compact car and very smooth, comfortable ride. Highway driving is a little noisy and as a front seat passenger the locking seat belt is annoying but otherwise we have had a great experience with the car. No repairs needed in the 5 years we have owned it.

Loved the WRX since a test drive when they were first introduced to North America in 2002.

Fast all-wheel-drive turbo with a rally racing heritage.

It's an underdog performance car that can keep up with the Porsches and Corvettes at the track, run circles around most in the dirt/snow, has 4 doors for a family, a practical ride height for our Canadian roads and all-weather capability so perfect for the winter too.

2003 WRX Wagon. The 3rd Subaru I have owned. Great cars, the AWD is easily the best I've ever experienced. WRX is a punchy little 2.0L boxer. If you drive everyday without really punching the throttle you can easily get 600 KM on a full tank ( about 45$ with 91 Octane). The wagon is extremely helpful and functional as the SEDAN does not have fold down rear seats and the wagon does.
BAD:
Requires 91 Octane fuel or above, Your gas mileage can go from 600 on a full tank to 300 if you are constantly driving it the way it wants to be driven ;). Sporty but functional.
Head gaskets seem to be a problem on these Subaru's if they are abused.
I also have a 2004 Forester with 347,000km and all original with NO REPAIRS except brakes, oil changes, and an o2 sensor.

Excellent car, engine, transmission etc all great.
Ideal car for the winter, and excellent power.

Reliable, fast car. Turbo gives lots of passing power when needed. AWD makes it a great choice in Canadian winters, I've never gotten stuck in the snow. Excellent handling and great fuel economy. Surprising amount of cargo space especially with seats folded. Would highly recommend!

Firing up the turbo charged 265hp engine always gives me a huge grin! This car is on rails through the corners. One of the few remaining driver's cars with manual transmission. It is good on fuel when you ask it to be (consumption <8.5 L/100km is easy to achieve on the highway). The car has a lot of room for you and your friends. Hopefully they like spirited driving...

Fun to drive, enough space and quality construction and components make this car great transportation. Good fuel economy with conservative driving habits. Brakes and tires have both lasted over 110,000km.

I love this car, practical with the hatch and so fast. Kills it on the highway, gravel, snow, you name it. Would recommend the wrx to everyone.

Bought mine new in Sept 2010...just lovin it !! Great performance,
A little rough on gas (91 octane minimum). Very reliable, no issues and great service from my dealership in London, Ontario.
I had planned to buy a new STi in 2015, but Subaru will not offer the WRX or STi in a five door hatch......boooo!!!!

Extremely reliable in the winter, AWD is a beautiful thing. Even in the summer the traction and grip to the road is unlike any other vehicle. by far my favorite car ive ever driven. just a tad too expensive for me at the moment :(

I've owned my 2003 Subaru WRX for 8 yrs and I've never had so much fun driving as I have in this. The biggest selling point is it's performance for the dollar.

Manual Transmission with a Short Shift kit turns you from a "commuter" into a DRIVER. Constant grip in every weather condition from dry to wet to snow. You constantly grin, ear to ear, watching other drivers "white knuckle drive" our Canadian winters with their front wheel drive cars.

The car has been incredibly reliable, and only required routine maintenance (oil, tires, brakes, etc..) during my ownership.

I'd recommend owning a WRX to anyone who considers themselves an automotive enthusiast.

This car is a great car to drive. Very reliable, safe, fast, powerful, great in snow. It is stable in wind, wet, and tough conditions and plenty of power to spare. This car won't let you down in a variety of conditions.

An absolute blast to drive summer or winter! The engineering of this car is why it's a top pick and holds it's value. I only faulted the car on the interior. I'm 6'1" 185lbs and have lots of room but I think it could have been a bit dressier inside the cab. That reason is probably why for 2014 there is the Tsurugi model coming.
When it comes to driving the AWD is sticky on any road surface. Spool up the 2.5L turbo engine in and out of a corner and be ready to try and fight off the ear to ear smile to a grin if you can. Almost three years now I've owned this car and still love owning it.

The Subaru 2002 Impreza WRX is an amazing fun and safe car to drive. Maintenance is low, very comfortable and functional.

I've been amazed by the WRX and its capabilities. It's amazing in any road condition, tons of steering feedback, great ride, sublime cornering, awesome engine, great turbo noises, not that bad on fuel, and extremely practical and good looking.

It's a shame I have to sell mine.. I would've loved to keep it, but school's my priority right now. I'll be back someday to a WRX!

I liked it so much that I already bought the 2013 version - same color, same features, just new!

Did not have any issues with it summer or winter. Drove a lot to Montreal in all weather conditions and always made it home safe!

I would say safe, reliable, fun, a car to buy if you like to drive!

Its a really fun car to drive. It has great handeling and the turbo is great when you are tring to pass or accelerate in traffic. I had alot of nice compliments about the look of this car!

Great control, lots of power for its size, reliable and lots of interior space! Either on paved road or gravel road or even snowy and icy road, this vehicle will keep you safe!

it is a fun car to drive. it comes with 220 HP and all wheels drive. it makes sharp and smooth turns. it also rocks in winter

My experience with the WRX has been great. It has everything I could ever want in a car, ie. great styling, robust rally platform, excess power, and a reliability of an ox. Since it has AWD, I knew it would just gulp down premium gas but $65 fill-ups and only getting about 450 km's out of it does get to be tiresome.

It's a comfortable car, not to mention stylish as well. I am absolutely in love with the design of the car. Thumbs up to those who designed it! It performs well too. I have not had much problems with it, other than problems that would happen with any other car. So overall, terrific! Unfortunately, it was my first car as well, so I don't think I have much to compare it with, considering I have not driven any other car

I had one I personally think it was the best WRX ever made, (2005 year specifically), equipped with a sunroof, it is really a blast to drive the only downfall, I would say fuel economy, well it's a turbo engine and the most reputable all wheel drive system!

Independent of the weather I drove anytime anywhere.

Sometimes the conditions were so bad that the plow did not pass by yet, but the Subaru WRX was able to reach the destination. Changed oil, did all standard services, and visited the dealership only when they called me for it! Just add winter tires and you have a year around car for Canadian climate!

The additional horse power really makes it fun not only useful.

To show you how much I loved this car, the new one is a 2013 SUBARU WRX!

This was my first REAL car and I miss her terribly. Great pickup, breaking and handling! Just don't put a wing on it.
