Performance- Since my car is pretty modified, I cant base this on comparing to a stock car, but my car will out accelerate mostly any factory car I come across on the road. It runs mid to low 13's in the quarter mile at over 100mph, which is faster than stock stis, evos, camaros, and most corvettes. It also handles like its on rails, and not many cars short of track cars can keep up in the twistys. Build Quality- Build quality is surprisingly good for a japanese compact car, but thats not saying much. It easily beats any domestic manufacturer, and almost can hold a light to german cars. Appearance- Even though my car is putting out more than 315hp, you wouldnt be able to tell it out of a crowd of any other station wagon. The only exterior modifications ive added are gunmetal 17 inch wheels, lowered it a tiny bit, and added some stealty stickers made by the company that tuned my car. Very stealty and surprises many muscle cars. Cost of Ownership- Since I only run premium 92 oct fuel, and synthetic motor oil, it can be a little spendy. But i havent had to do any major mechanical work, and since its a subaru, its very easy to do my own maitnence. Close to 30mpg doesnt hurt either. Fun Factor- No car can compare to the Wrx Wagon for fun. How many other kinds of cars can fit 5 people for a trip to mcdonalds, drive to the track with all your tools and equipment in the back and get 30mpg on the freeway, embarass mostly any car on the road and stay low on the radar with cops? Oh and theres also that subaru rumble and the smile that gets plastered on your face every time you hit full boost...

Awd and turbo what more can you ask for. Great little car makes good power while in boost and the awd is great and very responsive. Car is fun to drive and is a good daily driver and can be made into a good autocross car.

Excellent Performance compared to other car models of its range Fairly priced, it is affordable yet serviceable. Doesn't need frequent service or repairs The car seats are excellently finished,the rims are to die for if you want extra performance go for the Turbo version.
