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.
