2009 Subaru Impreza WRX User Reviews

Pros

A blast to drive. Decent horsepower gains from previous years

Cons

You can get 25 mpg. But if you have fun with it, it goes down to 18mpg. Ouch!

Purchased As New

At first, this car took a bit of time to get used to. After 2 weeks I finally got the clutch down. The clutch is feather soft so it's awkward at first.

PROS:
The look of the new ones with the improved tail lights, gorgeous wheels, and sleek hood scoop has drawn a lot of compliments from friends, family, even strangers! The interior is pretty sweet too. The WRX seats are not only super comfortable, but they look awesome with the red WRX logo on the seatback. The seats and the steering wheel both have red stitching to add to the aesthetic appeal. And the fact that the audio system adjusts volume based on how fast you're driving is absolutely awesome.

CONS:
Although few, there are still a few cons with this car. The first being fuel economy. I know there are plenty cars out there with worse fuel economy, this car can burn through fuel like nobody's business when you drive it the way it's supposed to be driven ;) The other downside, which to me is even more of a downside is that the turbo only kicks in at around 4,000 RPM. Therefore, as soon as the turbo kicks in and you feel like you're flying, you're already redlining it and you have to shift immediately. If the turbo kicked in a bit sooner in the RPM range, this thing would be almost too much fun to drive!
