Author's Review
I was in need of a new car due to the fact that my old one was slowly falling apart. I snowboard every weekend in the winter, so I wanted an AWD car. My brother used to own a Subaru Impreza and he loved it, so I started looking at those. I was interested in just a regular Subaru Impreza 2.5rs, not a WRX. I figured that the turbo would just get me in trouble, and the insurance would kill me because I'm only 19 years old. Well I found out quickly that Subaru Impreza's are hard to find used. No one really wants to sell theirs. And if they do, they are asking a lot of money, because quite frankly they can get a good price. I finally saw a car in my city, it was a 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX. I called the insurance company before doing anything to see how much the insurance would be.. and surprisingly, it wasn't bad at all. Just about $30 more a month than a regular Subaru Impreza would have been. So I went and test drove it. First off.. the car had 115,000 miles on it. This kind of scared me, but after reading reviews on the reliability of the cars, I figured it was a safe buy. Right when I sat in the chair.. started it up.. I was in love. The seats are one of the most comfortable seats I've sat in. I took off driving and loved every second of it. The car is actually really quiet, which i was surprised about. The car is fast... don't get me wrong. When you pull out in front of someone and gun it so you dont get in their way.. it isn't hard to get out of their way. so I bought the car for a very good price. I've had it for about a month now and have no complaints. The only thing that I don't like is the MPG and gas prices. The Subaru Impreza WRX only takes the most expensive gas.. that with the fact that it only gets around 22 mpg.. really puts a dent in your wallet. But.. even with that.. the car is perfect. It's very comfortable.. the air conditioning in it is ice cold. The stereo with 6 disc cd changer is really nice. I rolled into my college parking lot driving this car.. and everyone just stopped and looked at me.. It's an awesome feeling. My car is a pearl red.. so cops will spot me out of any crowd. So I've been careful to keep the car at the speed limit.. and it's actually not as hard as you'd think. The car isn't even that fast until about 4,000 or 5,000 rpms. Also, you gotta love the doors and windows. The windows are free windows. Meaning that they don't have the plastic part over it. So in the summer, when you have the windows rolled down and you open your door.. it's just the door. It's a nice little feature. I'd recommend this car to anyone who wants an amazing AWD car. It's worth every penny.. and some.
