The WRX STI is a performance rally machine, there is an obvious choice for the types of Fast & Furious attracted big turbos, all wheel drive with limited slip differential.

Interior Design and Special Features
Whether you choose the sedan or hatchback, the Subaru Impreza offers a spacious cabin with plenty of head and legs. The hatch naturally offers more cargo space, with a maximum of 44 cubic feet of space. Comfortable seats in the 2.5i models are pretty average and the driving position lacks a telescoping steering wheel (it is only on the WRX and upper trim). The seats are also much better on performance-based models, although the MST lack lateral support against their rivals.
The interior design is pleasant enough, but the quality of materials is cheap on the side of the compact class - especially when you pay $ 35 000 for the IST. The audio and climate are simple and straightforward. Choosing the factory in-dash navigation system adds to the complexity of music, such as menus and graphics are not the cleanest. A new option, however, a removable TomTom navigation system (dealer-installed), which may be easier to use. The sound quality of audio systems, including the latest, is disappointing.
Driving Impressions
2011 Subaru Impreza Base walks and runs to the satisfaction of a compact car, and his tenacious all-wheel drive is helpful to driving in adverse weather conditions. The naturally aspirated 2.5-liter Boxer sound character more than the typical high quality four-cylinder economy and also provides enough punch, at least when the manual transmission is specified. But the result is significantly blunted when the 2.5 is, along with the lazy, outdated four-speed automatic.
On the other hand, turbocharged Impreza WRX is an impressive performance of the machine of money, with a performance upgrade and more athletic moves in the most solid, thanks to suspension and summer performance tires. WRX STI jumps a few notches thanks to a limited slip differences between front and rear, Brembo brakes, powerful, a six-speed manual and the turbo acceleration rush when the throttle is open. Ride quality of the WRX models should take into account the performance, but some drivers may object to additional levels of road noise.
