I drive an Impreza 2.5i and have never had a better car in snow than this one • This is
my fourth Subaru…I LOVE them to pieces • I have my new Subaru Impreza and I am so
happy with it. Such thought was put into it. I am driving more than I ever do because
it is such a pleasure to drive • My wife and I own a Subaru Impreza Outback Sport and
I must say it is the best car I’ve ever driven • I live in the mountains and commute up
and down the hill every day. The handling can’t be beat by any other car I’ve ever driven
up the hill • The Subaru Impreza, in the words of those who own them • The other
day we were hit with a snowstorm and our AWD allowed us to maneuver as if it was
a sunny spring day. At that moment, I decided I would be a Subaru owner for life •
I’m such a big promoter of Subaru. I’ve talked two of my friends into getting them
• Thanks so much for keeping us safe in our Impreza during an awful accident. In our
car that day, we had a baby and our dog in the backseat. We all walked away with no
sustained injuries • I can carry just about anything in my Impreza, it gets good gas
mileage, and it just fits me. My Impreza has been a great car.
Love. It’s what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.
