2008 Subaru Impreza User Reviews

Pros

Fast, quick, speedy, fun and practical

Cons

Ugly as sin, minor mechanical issues (yes - minor!)

Purchased As New

What inspired me to write this review is a recent trip I took out to North Dakota and Wyoming to shoot some ghost towns. I'd never driven this car at (or near) sea level before, living in Colorado for the last 6 years. Oh man, what an eye-opener.

Like I said...fast, quick, speedy, agile, responsive, fun and practical. I can take my kids to school one minute, then hit the track in another.

This one sits on a Legacy frame. Having owned a previous WRX, I can tell you - those inches are welcome. I won't have an issue with infant seats (the variety that goes in backwards).

The car is not comfortable...at all. It rides rough and leans more than it should.

I've got a brake issue where the ducts clog with dust every 3k miles. Then the rotors start whining.

Not perfect, but I enjoy it anyway. Between this and my 2002 Z06, I'd have a hard time choosing.
