You right real good, Brendan.
I actually had a customer come in today to look at the new Impreza and he referred to your article saying it was the best review that he had read. Nice job and thanks. |

It's all well and good that Subaru released a shiny new base model. And the review screamed honesty.
I look at any impartial car review as a warning. Warning you that either you are wasting your time or Warning you that you might have to deal with financing people to get the new shiny ride that you truely cannot live without. This review was the former. I'm a car salesman's nightmare. After I testdrive a car I think I want, I dont talk to the salesman about options packages; I tell the salesman how much better a car I'm looking for. Better acceleration, better lowend torque, better handling. In past years I've walked into multiple dealerships and test driven everything not a pickup or minivan. I'm no mere testpilot. If I drive a car worth owning I find a way to own it. I generally walk out unimpressed. Plenty of cars fast in a straight line that cant handle a corner. Plenty of cars fun in the twisties that don't seem to see the point of accelerating in a straight line. A review like this saves me alot of time. Tells me not to bother looking at the basemodel because the new wrx/sti arent going to be based on the base impreza. Its not that I'm a automobile-snob its just that alot of cars released domestically arent really worth my time. There is no reason a grocery-getting hatch cant have a decent power to weight ration and handle well in a corner. Appreciate the heads up. Its interesting to know what subaru's up to. Keep up the great work. |

If you are always looking for a better handling or faster car, you'll never be satisfied. You either need an unending bank account, or you make sacrifices to get a car close to what you need.
Plus, I'd never go into the dealer looking at a base Impreza expecting it to have more than enough power It's an economy car afterall. |

Wow I've been away for super long time! Happy holidays everyone, and thanks for this fantastic review! I think the 2012 Impreza makes a great economic option for us! Although I do like the '08 tail lights...
