One of the first things I noticed about the 2009 Subaru Impreza was the way it drives. To this day, it is one of my favorite things about the car. It includes a sport mode that noticeably increases the acceleration and power to the car. The drivers seat gives you the option to raise or lower the seat, which is nice as a person with above average height. The AWD system is incredible. As a resident of Tennessee, winter is tricky. The mountainous hills of the Appalachian Mountains during winter get very dangerous. I have never had a situation in which I have slipped on ice. Not only does the car function great, but it looks incredible as well.
