Super Fun to Drive - 2011 Subaru Impreza
By masterdds - December 29 - 4:04 pmJust picked it up this week. So far, the car has been a blast to drive. I have been getting about 22MPG on mountain roads. The stock stereo is decent. Leather very comfortable. Some road noise, which I dont mind. One caveat is that there are not too many compartments to store stuff....I am the type of person to carry around some supplies for emergencies and moving from my old Corolla to this car forced me to downsize.

Love my new Subie!!! - 2011 Subaru Impreza
By SubieLove - August 26 - 2:00 amMy first Subie and I LOVE HER! I need AWD for NH winters, so considered RAV4, Suzuki SX4, Matrix, Outback, Forester, Impreza. Did tons of research; this OBS had what I needed: reliability, safety, wagon versatility, adorability, good price. I LOVE driving this car. Smooth, but can feel the road; easy shifting (but shifter feels a bit rubbery); comfy seats; perfect cargo space for 1 person; hugs the road; very responsive; good stereo; sits up high w/lift on drivers seat. Ive owned a Tercel/Civic/Miata, so Im used to great mpg. Have driven 170 miles on 30-60 mph country roads; meter says 31 mpg. But I can see my fuel meter wand move down as I drive. Yow. But I adore this car already.

Great Car!!! - 2011 Subaru Impreza
By eyean27 - December 12 - 8:52 pmI was in the market for a new car and couldnt be happier with my decision. Considered Accord Coup V6, Evo Ralliart, GTI, and Mazda 3. I was very impressed with the performance of the WRX. Quick acceleration and great handling!! The interior cabin is quite spacious considering its a compact car. I was hoping for better gas mileage but thats due to a heavy foot! Im avg 20 in town and about 28 highway.

My 2011 SSM STI - 2011 Subaru Impreza
By turbosti - September 4 - 3:12 amI purchased my Subaru from Heuberger Subaru in Colorado Springs, CO. It is my first Subaru and it will definitely not be my last! The car is an awesome car! I have enjoyed it very much so far. My options I got was the navigation, short throw shifter, all weather mats, and homelink rear view mirror. In my opinion you definitely need the short shifter. The navigation isnt the best and the speakers are very good, but that isnt the reason I bought the car. The car stock sounds really good and runs well. I am very happy with the car and plan on keeping it for quite some time. You will always get people cranking their necks to look at your car too.

Wow-e-wow-wow! - 2011 Subaru Impreza
By MIke - November 29 - 2:00 amWhat a neat car, fun to drive, fast and MUCH more comfortable than my Miata. I have had Mustang GTs and an older Camaro and a Ford ZX2 SR and nothing compares to the fun factor so far. The 2011 has a great stereo that allows blue tooth streaming as well as a USB jack for music on a memory stick. I have no complaints so far. Ok maybe one, I had to change to all season tires for the snow here as it comes with summer only tires. Make sure you get the short shifter option it makes a world of difference!

Fun, fun, fun! - 2011 Subaru Impreza
By kmcglynn - January 26 - 4:35 pmAfter driving my clunker of a car for about 7 years, it was time to trade it in. I looked at all of the good reviews Subaru has recieved for their line up of great cars, and decided to go with a brand new steel silver 2011 Impreza 2.5i Hatchback Premium. Subaru lives up to its reputation and then some! It is so comfy on cold mornings with its heated seats and feels like it is glued to the road, no matter how rainy it is. I love the size--just perfect for my and my boyfriend and all of camping/outdoor gear. My Subie is so much fun to drive! Great value for your money if you get the Premium model--nice wheels, all-weather package, Bluetooth, and an upgraded sound!

2011 WRX - 2011 Subaru Impreza
By NH WRX - December 28 - 10:00 amSo far this is the best "car" Ive driven in a long time. Its certainly fast and hugs the road like a rally car should. I was happily surprised that I dont feel like Im sitting too low to the ground while driving.

Great Experience - 2011 Subaru Impreza
By tpbco - December 6 - 12:47 pmPurchasing my second Subaru has been a great experience. I wanted a car that I could be confident in winter weather. The entire staff at Roberts Subaru in Downingtown PA were outstanding and went out of their way to make sure that I was completely satisfied. The salesman even went to another dealership out of state to get me the car I wanted. I would recommend both Roberts and Subaru to anyone who wants service and reliability.

1st Subaru owned of many to come - 2011 Subaru Impreza
By whitetailaj - March 17 - 12:35 amI had never owned a Subaru before and neither had anyone in my family. In the 90s I was drawn away from the brand just because of the somewhat biased social stigmatism attached to the company. When my old truck blew its motor two years ago I knew that I wanted an AWD car and began looking into Subarus. I was first looking at the Impreza Sport because of the size and versatility of the vehicle but immediately fell in love with the wide body design of the 2011 Impreza WRX. Took a test drive and the rest, as they say, is history. A little over a year and 16,000 miles later I still leave my sales consultant job at a Subaru dealership and look forward to my drive home everyday.
