How's The New WRX? Erm... It Kinda SUX.

Date of Review:  Nov 1, 2007
The Bottom Line: Subaru seems to want to groom the WRX into an A4 or 3-Series rival. It isn't. Instead, the new WRX falls in that bad place between slick and soporific.
Review: Background

What is it with today's automotive designers copying the look of Toyota's Corolla? Oft-derided as the nadir of automotive desirability, the lowly Corolla clearly "inspired" the restyle of Volkswagen's Jetta in 2005, then did the...

2008 Subaru WRX: what were they thinking?

Date of Review:  Oct 9, 2007
The Bottom Line: Misconceived in so many ways. Better alternatives are avaialble for less money unless you must have all-wheel-drive.
Review: The Subaru WRX began as one of those cars on the other side of the proverbial fence. It was available overseas, but not in the U.S. So we really, really wanted it. Oftentimes, when such "forbidden fruit" finally does become available, all those...

2008 WRX Owner's Report

Date of Review:  Feb 8, 2008
The Bottom Line: Its a better car than most of the public is aware of.
Review: I recently bought my very first Subaru and its a 2008 WRX, sedan, manual tranny.

Having been a loyal Honda owner for a long time I never really thought about other cars too much. Honda's legendary reliability kept me buying Honda's for...

2.5i, is OK, but bring back the RS model, please?

Date of Review:  Apr 9, 2009
The Bottom Line: Subaru seems to be losing sight of it's customer demographic. This base model is diluted to the point of blandness.
Review: To my knowledge no one else has reviewed the base, vanilla version of this car, so here goes.

Over the last 15 years, there have been several Subarus in my family, all of which I have driven, Imprezas, Legacies, and Foresters. I too have...

2008 WRX, a beta test?

Date of Review:  Aug 22, 2008
The Bottom Line: I would not buy a 2008 WRX again. The 2009 has more power, and more standard appearance features. I am changing now (10/09) my review to recommended to friends now.
Review: I'm going to try to remain un-biased in this review, but currently purchasing this car has me in the dog house with my wife. We bought this car and ultimately it has replaced a 2002 Nissan X-terra that didn't see a mechanic once in 6 years and...

2008 Impreza Outback Sport (auto)

Date of Review:  Feb 21, 2009
The Bottom Line: Recommended to those seeking a reliable and safe mode of transportation. It offers a spirited driving experience but within limits. AWD is enhances winter safety at the expense of economy.
Review: I've owned my OBS for just over a year. I chose the OBS over the standard model to gain some extra niceties such as upgraded cloth and wheels, roof rack, cargo tray and heated seats.

Mechanical and Performance

In general, I'm...
