This car punches above its price level in terms of performance. AWD sports car =all 265 horses hit the road. When you hit 3k RPM, you feel that turbo kick in and you are off! Look for the 2013 Orange ones - only 200 WRX and 100 STI were made with this trim package! To top it off - the car's safety features are keyed into Subaru's Rally car platform. These things are tanks in crashes! The A/B/C pillars are reinforced (basically a light-weight roll cage built into the car). The drivetrain buckle zones are designed to make the H-4 engine rotate vertical and act as a shield for the passenger compartment in a bad enough crash. Subaru knows a thing or two about how they perform in worst case crashes from decades of rally cross experience!
It is small car fuel efficient all wheel drive smooth ride with no problem
If you are looking for a reliable daily driver that you can have fun with on the weekends, this is the car! The Subaru AWD is the best in the business or at least than the other AWD cars I've driven/owned. Plus, I can't find another turbo four door vehicle that looks as good and is easy on the wallet when it comes to insurance. Great trunk space, back seat leg room and cockpit styling. I've said this to all my friends and I'll say this again "If someone wants to try and mug me for this car, they will have to put up a really good fight!" There are some downsides. 1) The transmission can be a little "soft". This car was not designed as a drag car and slamming gears as so or a heavy day at the track WILL break the transmission. There are some aftermarket fixes for this, but to me they were pricey. 2) Last, the stock paint and clear coat aren't very thick and knicks are easy and common from daily driving. However, I've found a good wax will take care of most blemishes. Subaru owners swear by this car and I can see why.
