I know it is a smaller sedan, but even with the front seats shoved up to that your knees are in the dashboard, that leaves just enough room for an average human in back. Under normal front seat conditions, crushed knees in back. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport review |

The engine is a Porche Boxter engine which got my attention, but I think there could be more horsepower, knowing that the WRX is great when moded. This car has a lot of potential. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport review |
