  Value - 2010 Subaru Impreza
  By Chesco - February 5 - 6:13 pm

  This car is an excellent buy for the money. Overall value is excellent. Body design is main stream. All wheel drive system is unsurpassed. Drive train is adequate. Interior seating looks cheap, but it is very comfortable. Drivers side seat has a barber chair style manual crank up & down function that works beautifully. The radio is extremely sub-par, but the rest of this car is a class leader. If you compare features & cost, this is an unbeatable value.

  Shortcomings - 2010 Subaru Impreza
  By Martin - January 26 - 9:40 am

  This is my 3rd Subaru, I had a 97 Outback and have a 2004 Forester. This new 2010 Outback Sport disappoints. The driver seat height adjuster is ill designed and it has to be pumped up almost every time car is used. It is too long and too high, so contact with it is inadvertently made, thus lowering the seat. The front headrests are raked too far forward and constant head contact is annoying and a distraction while driving. Subaru will not correct these faults. They say "thank you for bringing it to our attention". The silver outboard dash vents reflect in the outside rear view mirrors. I had to paint them flat black. The radio is mediocre.

  The WRX is a really fun car to drive! - 2010 Subaru Impreza
  By WRX in ABQ - May 9 - 7:23 am

  Just under 1,000 miles so far, which means I can start going a little higher on the revs. Thats scary, because even at 4k-5k, the acceleration is phenomenal! Outstanding pick up at low mph or highway level. Very smooth. Got two window roll-downs from other drivers on my first day saying it looks great and asking how it drives. That just doesnt normally happen. I wish the front under-fender (Im not really an expert, so Im sure thats not the name) were a little higher for curbs, but I think I can get that changed. Averaging 24 mpg so far, but Ive been driving it pretty hard, lots of city, and its still breaking in. Most fun car Ive ever driven. Cant wait to take it skiing!

  Fun Snow Car - 2010 Subaru Impreza
  By COBeav - May 5 - 4:30 pm

  Ive put about 1500mi on my Subie. Love it! I was very surprised by its pickup, even with the auto. Its handling and power are much better than the other cars in its class, especially for the basic model. Getting up around 34 mpg hwy, 25 city (stop-n-go), not bad, especially just breaking it in. Had a few snows, and it just zips along. Love being able to just go, even starting uphill. The handling is fun in the snow, it seems as though I can feel the different wheels gripping.

  Love it! - 2010 Subaru Impreza
  By Jim - April 2 - 3:06 am

  Excellent value. Love AWD, styling, comfort, and performance. Drove an Audi A4 Quattro 1.8 AWD for 6 years (140,000) miles and was looking for an AWD replacement at a reasonable price - the Impreza was it. Have had it for 1.5 weeks and 500+ miles and love it. Averaging better than 27 mpg combined city/highway - better than my Audi.

  Love my Subie! - 2010 Subaru Impreza
  By ret - October 6 - 8:43 am

  This is my first Subie after years owning German cars. I am really surprised at this little package of fun & all-wheel-drive. It is very comfortable and seems much bigger when sitting in it then I expected. I also had my eye on the Mazda 3 but was sold on the AWD.

  2010 WRX 5-Door Satin White - 2010 Subaru Impreza
  By rudy - May 31 - 5:06 am

  Prior to purchasing this car I test drove the new GTI, Speed-3, and the Mini Clubman S. However one drive int he Subaru WRX and the decision was easy. The Subie impressed me right away with its combination of incredible power and AWD grip. The interior is well done too. The sport seats are perfect and the cockpit looks awesome with the glowing red gauges and white needles that sweep upon start up. The engine revs very smooth and transmits little to no vibration at idle. The steering communicates good feedback with the road and offers a very tight turn radius. In the back the 19 cubic feet of cargo area allow for this car to be both a utility vehicle and a weekend toy.

  5,000 Mile Update - 2010 Subaru Impreza
  By Anthony Lo - March 12 - 11:40 pm

  Were still enjoying our Impreza tremendously since new and have been using it daily. Have not had any issues outside of careless people banging their doors in parking lots. Size of the vehicle is working nicely for our family in terms of leg room and shoulder room. Traction and vehicle control is unbelievable with the AWD system and wheel/tire set up. Very stable handling on the freeway - feels more secure than anything Ive driven. Still not a big fan of the velvetty interior fabric but its not the worst Ive seen. Plastic surfaces too hard to the touch and fuel economy is mediocre. Stock stereo should have an AUX input for iPods - lame! Padding on the seats could be thicker.

  Fun to drive - 2010 Subaru Impreza
  By Eric - January 11 - 9:33 am

  I go up into the mountains a lot and this car is perfect! It has a very comfortable ride to it and has enough power to get around in the mountains. It sticks to the roads and handles extremely well in the snow. The manual is a must and makes it really fun to drive. I am very happy with my purchase.

  2nd Subaru - 2010 Subaru Impreza
  By 2nd Subaru - October 18 - 3:43 pm

  This is my 2nd Subaru after owning a 2007 Outback for 13 years. Ive been in some really cool places like the hot springs in Strawberry Park near Steamboat, CO in January. I’ve driven to the top of mountains in snow so deep you could hardly walk in it. If you want a reliable car that sticks to the ground, Subaru is a good choice. Their all wheel drive system seems to be a cut above the competition and they are reasonably priced considering the reliability. I hated to see my old Outback go but no car last forever.
