  the car stops and turns better than the Impreza. That it will, because it is the tires that make all the difference in those situations. Even with the crappy tires, though, the Impreza will still "out-go" the Xb, which is a great testament to the quality of the AWD. Frankly, I would much sooner buy good winter tires for "metro" driving than for mountain driving because there are far more stops ... Read More

  I absolutely agree - those RE92A are pathetic tire (I don't even hold a very high regard for them during the summer months) that they have used on the Impreza and Outback/Legacy for years. I think they started putting a different tire on the O/L with the 2010 model year, but before that it was RE92A for a long while. I *HATE* those tires. They literally hobble a fantastic car in ...

  First, the base MSRP on the 2.5i sedan with no options is $19,190 including destination charge. Invoice on that same car, also including destination, is $18,346. Any incentives or rebates from the manufacturer should be taken off of the invoice price, bringing your price to $17,346 after the $1000 incentive. So, tack on any taxes and fees on top of that. It sounds like $17,500 is a decent price depending on ... Read More

  The invoice is $18,143, with about $18,500 as the average price. There's maybe $800 profit for the dealer in the car before holdback, so $17500 with tax and delivery(if that really is a true out the door price) is pretty good.

They will also take off $1,000 incentive. The price will come out to around $17,500 including taxes, tags and delivery. Is this a good deal? the MSRP here at edmunds is $18, 495. I'm confused.

  I like the armrest extension and the bumper cover, those things will come in handy and make the ownership experience better. I also think the AWP and moonroof will do the same for the SE. The bottom line is do you like the two-tone of the Sport? Both are good deals. People pay that sort of money for lesser cars every day.

  I certainly do Pat. Subaru's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 Impreza Sedan Premium with 15,000 miles per year are .00190 and 58%, respectively. You never mentioned how long you want to lease for or what mileage allowance you need, so I had to make some assumptions. Let me know if you want something different.

• Just bought my first Subaru!!

  Written by: sounder4life on Sep 9, 2009 8:52:59 PM

  Hi everyone. I just bought my first Subaru and I'm loving it. I went in thinking it was going to be the 2010 Forester but, after test driving it, I wasn't convinced. So, I went with choice number two the Impreza Outback Sport. This is a great vehicle and really handles well. Its a sharp looking car and I look forward to enjoying it for many years to come.

  Don't let the number of gears fool you, our 4 speed Forester is geared a LOT taller than my 6 speed Miata. I followed my wife once and my Miata was screaming at high rpm while she chugged along quietly. Though I have a very tall-geared Toyota Sienna, so the Subaru falls between those two. Most of the 6 to 8 speed autos are very closely geared, so they aren't necessarily ... Read More

Matrix vs Impreza

  I have had an '09 Matrix S FWD Auto for almost a year now. Went through a winter with it. Completely worthless in the snow. The "traction control" is just another word for putting the brakes on all the wheels so you come to a dead stop in 7" of snow and get stuck. I have to turn it off most of the time to avoid getting stuck (it frequently snows ... Read More

  Yes, but then why does the WRX have it and the other Imprezas don't? Probably for folks like us who insist on having a gauge. BTW, I heard this from someone who works for Subaru, that being that temp gauges are nothing but idiot lights in disguise. Also the temp gauge is missing from all Legacys (L-GT too) and Outbacks for 2010. Bob

  skaswing, For me at least I believe the big interest in the 09 WRX is that this model is suppose to come back to the roots of what made the WRX famous to begin with. From the car magazines I have read, the 08 WRX had gone soft, losing it's edginess, lost what made it a driver's car. Also for 09 it doesn't hurt that Subaru took the turbo off the ... Read More

  I believe 2010 is the year direct injection is expected to debut. Also, use of VDC is growing greatly throughout the lineup. It's standard on Tribeca, all Imprezas but the base model, and I believe will be standard on the new Forester. In the Legacy & Outback it's available on the Limited models, and on the turbo & 6-cyl AT models, but it's not available on the base or SE models. ... Read More

  I don't have much of a problem with the engine, but the 4-speed auto is a disgrace. 5-speed manual is "a bit" disappointing, but I could still live with that. My experience with Subaru tells me that their "all new" models have a good "excitement" value, but two years later one get MUCH MUCH better deal for the money. Then 2 years from then even added features do not make it ... Read More
