2011 | 4dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
There is no lumbar support which makes it tough for drives over 2 hours. The seats could be better for its class. I think Subaru remedied this issue in the new body style, however. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport review |

2011 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
Lots of power w/very little turbo lag. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport review |
2010 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
This thing will haul ass, if you want it to. If you just have to commute it will commute happily just like any other car. However if you mash the gas this car will respond with aplomb. Buckets of acceleration, decent mpg for the performance you get. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport review |

This was the first car I test drove that did not feel like it had a small 4 cylinder engine under the hood. Its acceleration is comparable to or better than the biggest V8s available. The deep growl of the boxer engine is pretty cool, too. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport review |

The 4 speed auto does not perform efficiently, although it is fast to shift and quite bulletproof. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport review |
2010 | 4dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
There is no usable power. In every single gear I could put my foot on the ground and barely accelerate until hitting 4000 RPM where it moved more quickly... but still slow. Gearing also was terrible and it felt incredibly slow! see full Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport review |
