2005 Subaru Impreza

Pros: Sheer thrust, excellent chassis, supportive seats

Cons: Highway ride quality, tire roar, heavy clutch, steering just okay, not much to look at

Cons: Wing & hoodscoop are nasty, interior is cheap, overall look is not impressive.

Pros: Powerful, AWD, good gas mileage about 25avg and i love the sporty look

Cons: Why doesn't the back seat fold down!?! Clunky shifts with the 5spd

Review: This car is a ton of fun! Plenty of aftermarket upgrades that definetly improve performance and sporty feel. I've own mine for 3 yrs and it has 50,000 miles on it now, the only service i've done is oil changes (full synthetic which i highly recommend) ...
