2005 Subaru Impreza consumer reviews

This is one of the best all round car I?ve owned! I would recommend a wrx to anyone that is looking for a sedan that has the feel of a sports car.

This car got us through man Chicago winters without ever getting stuck in the snow. No major problems until a brake line issue at 105K, which was caused by rust problems in the undercarriage. Otherwise, it was a great, reliable vehicle.

I have owned my impreza since 2009, second owner. This car has been very reliable and is the perfect size (small, yet you can fit a lot in the back with the seats folded down, or a bunch of people with enough room for cargo with the seats up). Also can count on in all weather. Would recommend to anyone.

It is fantastic in every way. Its a very reliable car and has never let me down, as are subaru's in general. I wouldn't rather own any other car. The quality that subaru puts in its cars is superb.

The 2005 Subaru Impreza RS is a very well built, reliable and fun to drive car. With full time All Wheel Drive, sports car like handling, yet easy on the gas, this car is fun, yet safe and economical. Great car for school, back and forth to work (especially in ice and snow), and all around town. Very stylish, sports car look.

Best car I have ever owned! Safe, reliable and fun to drive with all wheel drive taking you anywhere you want to go.

The Subaru Impreza WRX STI is one of the best cars I have had the privilege of driving and owning. The car is great in any situation; rain, snow or sun the STI is always a good choice. Being an import fan and living in Illinois the STI with its great exterior design and AWD was an obvious choice. Not to mention how exciting the car can be when getting on boost. The STI really is a great car. The only negatives about the car is that the inside is very plain; only including the bare minimum. Also, the STI does ride a little rougher than most cars being it essentially designed after Subaru's rally car. If you want a fun and reliable car that turns heads the STI is for you.

This vehicle has been very good to me. Very comfortable and fun to drive. One of my favorite cars I have driven.

Purchased as third owner, mechanically very sound, non-smoker but had had wet dog or other animals transported. Upgraded all seating to later WRX sports seats inc side airbags. Incredibly reliable and a good introduction to full time all wheel drive. FTAWD allows car to out-perform almost all contenders in the snow and wet weather, roll-center is very low and winter Finnish snow tires makes car incredibly fast in the snow. Drifting is a driving style unique to FTAWD Subaru's and the latest FTAWD Porsche. At 105k miles car developed drive shaft U joint stiffness and the phase 2 head gaskets leaked. Now repaired with CF drive-line and small increase in power, car is faster in acceleration but still limited by the ECU for top speed.

This is the best car that I have exer owned. Super fast. It is reliable and durable. It has never had any mechanical issues in the 7 years that I have owned it.
