Comments
Favorite feature:	Driving feel, acceleration, comfortable seats, having the feel of not being able to wait to drive it again after parking it in the garage.
Least favorite feature:	Back seats don't recline to increase possible trunk space, poor gas mileage in the city, possible short-life of turbocharger.
Advice to buyer:	Leave extra money for speeding tickets. You'll need it.
Detailed review:	Be sure to save money for speeding tickets! It is surprising how much power it has from a 4-cylinder engine. The WRX has a very smooth ride even when taking curves at much higher than legal speeds. It grips the road like almost no other car I have driven before. Test drive it once and you will be aching to get one. Test drive it twice and you might as well get out the checkbook for your down payment. It blew the other cars I test drove out of the water. My only concern is if the turbocharger will last past 60k miles. Also, acceleration doesn't really kick in until revved over 3000rpm.
