Pros: What do you like about 2008 Subaru Impreza?
Everything. I was on the market for a Suzuki SX4, but the salesman convinced me to try the Impreza instead. When I reached 1 year using it I called the salesman back to thank him. I'm very happy with it.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Subaru Impreza?
Maybe better mileage, but I was warned, you can't compare AWD vs Front wheel drive. You have to give up something. As the matter of fact, I get 29 MPG combined, every day use.

2008 Subaru Impreza Review:
Not an eye catcher, but once you get you hands on it, you'll get to love it. 1 year, 20,000 miles and I only been to the shop for scheduled services.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Subaru Impreza?
Performance. Comfort. Better gas mileage than STI.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Subaru Impreza?
Factory Ski rack is hideously noisy. Even has a disclaimer on it. A skier's nightmare. Engine noise also a wee bit noisy.

2008 Subaru Impreza Review:
Had a STI before. Bought this to still perform but ride nicer on long ski trips. It does.

2008 Subaru Impreza Review:
I've owned my 08 WRX for 4 months now and i'm sure i made the right choice. Sure it's not the best looking sport compact but the looks definetly grow on you. trust me, it looks way better in person, especially in motion.

Higher quality interior.
alloy wheels standard.

2008 Subaru Impreza Review:
I also own an 05 WRX and 99 LS-1 Corvette. The 08 impreza (non turbo) is a great fun smooth riding car. The new double wishbone suspension gives Honda Accord like Ride (ie smooth, quiet) but where as the 02 through 07 Imprezas the driver and car feel as one, the 08 feels isolated from the driver like a 1995 Delta 88 or something. I prefer the older car had Mcpherson Struts. The new one has wishbones preventing it from ever being a true impreza or WRX or even an STI. Kinda a shame.
