2008 Subaru Impreza User Reviews

Pros

good performance, very good acceleration, good brakes

Cons

ride is too tough, its not very good looking

i love how it feel to ride this car, the ride is too tough, but it makes up for it with great acceleration and great engine noise, as well as 4 wheel drive, so it has great handling

Pros

AWD, Looks, Performance, traction control, saftey

Cons

Interior scratches easy, none

The hatchback rules, it looks cool, and its versatile. VDC - traction control and hill assist on manual helps a lot.

Pros

ADW, turbo, good looking

Cons

turbo lag, intial drag time, un enthusiatic interior

I am a great Subie fan ever since they won the FIA world rally championship. My previous car was the Mazdaspeed3 which is fast but I feel will not take this car at the turns. Somehow, the WRX is slower than the Speed3 from 0-60 but make a turn and wrx blows the mazda away.

I also feel the WRX is more comfortable but the interior is more ugly than the Mazdasp3.

Since I live in Canada, give us some snow, and miserable Canadian winter, and the WRX laughs all the way home.

Cost is high, a bit more than the Mazdasp3 but if you have a family and want some thrills on the weekend, this car meet the bill.

Leave the Speed 3 for the youngsters.

Crash test also puts confidence in this car....read morehide

Pros

Fast, good-looking, good fuel economy

Cons

None so far

The 2008 WRX sedan is roomier than the 2007, but is just as quick and handles better. EPA gas mileage on the sticker looks worse than in 2007, yet this time it understates reality. I'm getting 24.5 mpg within the first 1,000 miles, without much freeway driving. It's hard to find a flaw so far. Great car, great value....read morehide
