2015 Subaru WRX - Very fast, very reliable
This is the first Subaru I have ever owned and was purchased due to family members giving strong recommendations about the brand. The key selling point for me when choosing the WRX model was the performance of the vehicle while still retaining bullet proof reliability. I have put almost 40 thousand miles on mine and taken it on long trips out of state as well as using it for my sole means of transportation over the past four years without a single issue in any department. Another thing that I enjoy about the vehicle is the amount of space that it offers on the interior. I have been in many other four door cars, most with half of the trunk and definitely less seating room in both the front and the rear, and the Subaru manages to pull it off with an almost luxury level comfort and finish...

The only real dislike that I have for this vehicle is held within the radio system and speakers. The radio, although offering Bluetooth connectivity, requires me to manually connect my phone every time I start the car, and the sound quality of streaming audio and even standard FM radio leaves quite a lot to be desired.
One day I was driving home from work in the rain, going down an older back road to help get around traffic. I was tired from work and the last thing I was expecting to do on my way home was to dodge a blown out semi truck tire coming right at my car. I managed to swerve out of the way, going half off the road and into the mud, and got back onto the pavement as if nothing ever happened. If I wa... (more)
One day I was driving home from work in the rain, going down an older back road to help get around traffic. I was tired from work and the last thing I was expecting to do on my way home was to dodge a blown out semi truck tire coming right at my car. I managed to swerve out of the way, going half off the road and into the mud, and got back onto the pavement as if nothing ever happened. If I was in anything other than my all-wheel drive car, who knows what would have happened when I swerved off into the muddy shoulder of the road.
My top thing with my vehicle has to be all aspects of the performance that it offers. Not only is it a blast to drive around town and get to work in, but it manages to get great gas millage while you do it. Along with the amazing reliability, I'm comfortable taking my car anywhere I need to go.

The radio system leaves a lot to be desired, and I can only imagine its to generate the up sale of the premium audio package offered through the manufacture/dealership. The only other con to the WRX is that, at least at my time of purchase, there was no leather interior option and I was stuck using cloth.

2015 Subaru WRX - The perfect car
There WRX is for a select breed of drivers who are passionate about their experience on the road. As an owner, I can say driving this car has improved my life. Even though this car is available in automatic, you won't want to waste your time with that, be sure to get manual transmission (even if you have no prior experience, it is easy to learn). It's a very quick and sporty car, with a stiff suspension. It makes handling around turns fantastic and will leave a grin on your face. It is important to be aware with the stiff suspension, you will feel every little bump on the road! It is a trade off between performance and comfort, depending on your presence this can be a pro or con! The AWD is amazing. I am an avid snowboarder, and I never have to worry about putting chains on my car, eve... (more)

It is a trade off between performance and comfort, depending on your presence this can be a pro or con! The AWD is amazing. I am an avid snowboarder, and I never have to worry about putting chains on my car, ever! In fact, the owners manual says you cannot put chains on this car! Make sure you have tires rated for the snow, the stock tires are not M+S rated, which can be dangerous in the snow. The hood-scoop is an iconic symbol of this car, and helps its aggressive race-car-like appearance. The trunk seems fairly large, and although sometimes it might take some cleaver maneuvering, I can usually fit anything I need in there. Nothing beats the great driving experience, which is the main reason for this car. Instead of just getting from point A to point B, it makes each and every trip an experience that connects you to the road.
Fellow WRX and STI drivers have an appreciate for this vehicle and give each other the peace sign whenever you see another car like yours.
