2010 Subaru Impreza WRX

by kap on 09-10-2015
FUN to drive!
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!

2011 Subaru Impreza WRX

Too much fun!
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...

It is a terrific car!
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.

Best reliable performance oriented car on the market.
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.

great car...performance hatchback
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!!!!

MUST DRIVE
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 :(

2011 Subaru Impreza WRX

by omwtobbq on 09-12-2013
Hard to beat for the money!
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.

2009 Subaru Impreza WRX

by ZeroAngels on 01-10-2013
Performance and Safety all in one
Great car with just the right amount of power for a lively spirited ride at 265HP. Fuel Economy was surprisingly efficient given that it was it has a turbo.

Can't go wrong with the Subaru All Wheel Drive, great fun car in the summer with good gripping tires, while kept me feeling plenty safe with winter tires in the snowy winters. Starts up great in snow really feeling the different of 4 wheels gaining grip rather than just two.

Good amount of power without being excessive for city driving.

Amazing Ride
Great ride with lots of power. Really fun to drive in the snow! Really can't beat a WRX unless it's an STi but I figured this was more than enough power.

2009 Subaru Impreza WRX

by Goodalls on 10-30-2012
Subaru WRX
I brought this car in early 2011 as a commuter ,thought it would be fun to have a stick shift again as i was the only driver.
I wasn't in love with the front end styling to begin with but the more i have looked at it and watched other WRX's come and go ,i have decided that it has a cool look,how can you go wrong with a turbo intake that shouts I've got power catch me if you can...match that with its performance and you have a stylish fast car..with room for the family or friends.
Several people have said that the rear seats are very comfortable..that was on an 8hr drive.
so it goes like a rocket ,it looks good and its been trouble free..
what more could you ask for..
not to much" but "
i wish it had power seats..at least the drivers..the system on it works but it lacks the refinement i have enjoyed in my other vehicles.
The stereo is ok but again lacks.. especially bass..that was easily corrected with a 10"sub in the trunk..alas i now have less usable space in the trunk.
For the price tag of this vehicle new or used it should have all the bells and whistles.
You have the ability to jack in your mobile music devise but its in the arm rest ..should have been in the stereo.
i understand the body is very light weight but the doors closing and the sun visor hitting the roof when closed give you the effect of being in a tin can.
My only other improvement would be for a little more bark in the pipes.
Even with its undesirables once you start driving..especially if you can find a road with corners!!
Its so much fun to drive.
Don't take my word go test drive one and enjoy.

2010 Subaru Impreza WRX

Trim: Limited Hatchback
by mikeautos on 10-13-2012
Great All Around Ride
I leased this car new in 2010 and would rate it as the best vehicle I have ever owned. It was a 2010 Subaru Impreza WRX Limited with the 5-Speed Manual Transmission.

I owned it for 2.5 years and put on 50,000 km. I replaced or repaired nothing in that time.

The engine had great response and the transmission, while not the best out there, engaged smooth enough and never missed a gear. The AWD system was flawless in the dry, wet and snow.

The interior is not the best and the radio is quite bad, but at least the front seats were comfortable. With the rear seats folded, the hatchback could hold quite a lot of gear.

As a bonus, the car returned decent gas mileage for a 265 hp AWD hatchback.

2012 Subaru Impreza WRX

Trim: Limited 4 Doors
by MyFatMiyagiSan on 10-12-2012
Best Sport Sedan under $35k
It's a terrific car! I just love it. Has a lot of power, AWD system is the best, It's not an eco fuel efficient, but if you're looking for power, turbo, reliability I will highly recommend this one.
I own a 4 doors with a lot of room, 2 baby cars seats inside (because it's family friendly) as a regular home Dad, but it can turn from no where to a beautiful fast road carving machine, 0-100 under 5s, many sport cars will envy the performance of my WRX.
The best part came in the winter, when normally all sport cars are parked under a garage (because in Edmonton, Ab. we get a lot of snow) this one not, AWD system handle wherever you are, it has all my respect when snow driving condition came, it just handle..... AMAZING!
