Buying Tips:
Hey Subaru WRX fans, they really did listen to you. The ‘09 version brings back all the things you loved from ‘07 (insane thrust, entertaining handling), plus the positive updates gained in ‘08 (refined ride, hugely improved interior). When weighed against other enthusiastic all-wheel-drive sports sedans, the 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX deserves strong consideration, especially given its stellar active and passive safety.
About Subaru

Fuji Heavy Industries launched the Subaru 360 in 1958. While the automaker has been selling vehicles in the country since 1976, Subaru Canada was only instituted in 1989. Some 95 dealerships carry a wide selection of models, including the Legacy (sedan and wagon), the all-new Impreza (sedan and hatchback) as well as the sporty WRX and STI. As the pioneer of utility vehicles, the Outback wagon paved the way for the Forester and Tribeca.

I have had my WRX STI for about 1 month. I luv this car. I wanted buy a fun to drive car -great choice. Getting about 18mpg in intellegent mode . Sport sharp mode will drink up some gas but the adrenaline rush is like no other. Plenty of room in the inside for the family too.

Just traded my G35 to buy this WRX STI. I test drove a 335 and the STI and loved the STI. The car is fast and responsive and handles like a champ. So far I am enjoying every bit of it. The acceleration is smooth with no noticible turbo lag. Also, the interior is roomy and the seats are comfortable. The stereo is decent and a the ride is soft enough for daily driving, yet the car no doubt will be a monster at the track. I also love the hatchback design and the spoiler in the back.

A mate of mine recently purchased a WRX, their amazing cars, but they do suffer a little from torque steering.
