I absolutely love driving this car! It handles like a dream, corners VERY well, has plenty of pep, and is very comfortable. After doing a lot of shopping, I believe this car offers a whole lot of value for the money, and I know I made a great choice. The 9-2X makes driving a whole lot of fun, and I have lots of room to bring along friends and my dogs, too!

Excellent car. I have a 9-3 as well and compared with that I feel that the steering and control is far superior.

For the $20k or so that an Aero is going for now with the discounts, you won't find a more capable car. It is not the prettiest car, inside or out, but everything is well laid out and functional.

With the employee discount and dealer incentives, I paid 18.5k for a 25.5k car. I went to Subaru dealer, moonroof and heated seats only avail on sedan version of WRX, not on standard impreza or even the WRX wagon. This car drives like it is on rails. I test frove the auto linear and it was underpowered, (165hp) for a AWD car. 5 speed is fun and optimizes performance. Seats I scotch guarded, only complaint i have is that it came with the crappiest floor mats I ever saw. I am gonna buy the Saab mats, $110 if they dont give them to me. Stereo also lacks punch, but its my wife's car primarily and she doesn't play it loud anyway.

If Beauty is only skin deep, this is the car it drives! Saab did a good job on the exterior styling, but underneath it all is a good ol' dependable Subaru. Interior trim is definitely econo-grade. I agree - this car is FUN to drive! The engine likes to rev, pulls strong from 3K on up to redline. Not much low-end torque. The 5-spd shifter is a bit notchy, but I'm getting used to it. AWD is great. No wheel spins in the Florida rain, you just GO. Fantastic brakes. One last thing - HEY SAAB, please fire the product manager and interior designer who picked the "parchment" seat color and don't hire them back until they can get coffee, ketchup and mud stains out of that fabric!
