Since I’ve had the WRX for 2 years now, I thought it’d be a good time to post my impressions of the car. The exterior is subtle but aggressive, and that’s exactly what I was looking for. I don’t think the wide body look is that noticeable on the darker colors, which is why I opted for the stunning Satin White Pearl color. Sure, it gets dirty in no time flat, but it’s one of the best white pearls I’ve ever seen. I haven’t owned a white car since 1994, but it’s worth the extra effort of keeping it clean. Unfortunately, Subaru is known for their crappy paint, and I picked up my first rock chip at 4500 miles. The interior is cheap compared to most cars on the market today. When you close the doors, it sounds tinny. When you flip up the sun visor, it clanks loudly against the metal roof. ($2 of foam insulation for the headliner would have fixed that) But the seats are fantastic, and the steering wheel controls are handy. I also got the Short Throw Shifter, and it’s great! The stereo has full Bluetooth phone/audio integration, so I can stream tunes from my iPhone automatically. Overall, it's a very good car that I would recommend.

I have owned my Subaru for over three years. I got lucky when the dealer took my old Cadillac in trade. The car is roomy for five adults with great backseat legroom. The hatchback I own has unexpected room for transporting my son to college and also fitting a Christmas tree inside with the back seat down. Great speed and economy. No mechanical issues. The driver's seat has worn through in the lower back area. The base model radio is just adequate. The sound system should be improved. I've replaced the initial tires at 38,000 miles. My highway mileage averages 57 MPG, local driving about 27, and AWD in winter is great.
