2012 Subaru Impreza WRX User Reviews

Pros

lots of what you need in a subcompact, but with four wheel drive

Cons

stereo is a little weak but i dont care...can always upgrade

Purchased As Used

Too nice of a ride with a bottom end rumble on acceleration. Stereo upgrade if you simply have to, but I'm OK with stock. Comfort and room is perfect. Car has near perfect balance.

Pros

Outstanding stock performance and easily increased performance with after-market add-ons.

Cons

Ride quality unacceptable to older drivers. Requires effort to squeeze out performance potential.

Purchased As New

Lots of potential with add-on's, great AWD performance, and gives me a safer alternative to my motorcycles with which I have had far too many close-calls with distracted soccer moms and unsafe at any speed grannie geezers.

Pros

Safe, Performance, Looks, Sound System

Cons

Sport Ride, Sub woofer over rated, availability

Overall this a great car because it protected the fam when a Jeep that ran a traffic light was T-boned and landed upside down on the hood and rolled off our 17 day old WRX while my wife was sitting at light waiting for it to change. We needed a car; I wanted a motorcycle, so this was the compromise. I ordered it with all the bells and whistles including Cat Back mufflers which my wife said was too loud the more she drove it. I always go for the horsepower and don't cry about fuel mileage. Keep your foot out of it you'll be fine. I had to pay for it so I didn't dog it in the few times I drove it. I think the neighbors were hating on her in my opinion, because I bought the car drove it two or three times and left town for a new job. The rest of the time she drove it. She says it's a great car, but she likes the Legacy we replaced it with better. But you must keep in mind that we both are in our early 50's.

Would I buy one again? Yes, but not for a family auto to be shared with the wife unless we had a tamer to back it up. The grand kids loved it. They are cool with the Legacy too.

I think the 2014 body style will change and I'll be ready....read morehide

Pros

AWD, Fast, Good looks, exhaust sound (SPT), Quick on-off roof rack

This car is fun to drive and even better when the weather is acting up. Instead of slowing down in the turn, just hold on and let the car pull you through.

Pros

Performance, AWD, Ease of Modification, Reliability

Cons

Price, Availability

Purchased As New

This is a great car. I shopped around for a long time before purchasing one. Once I got the price that I wanted, there wasn't one any where near me. I ended up having to order one to get the one that I wanted.

Pros

Making everyone look stupid slow on the road

Cons

Premium gas is expensive, yo!

I don't care what you're driving because you haven't driven all-wheel drive horsepower. The car grips like all get out and has a ton of tourque. Slingshot 2nd gear downshift out of a corner and LIVE!
