Is the (non WRX) Impreza any fun to drive? I'm trying to

>>17188443

I test drove a 2017 Impreza sport two months ago, ended up buying a 2017 fiesta st instead. The subaru is nice inside but it felt slower than my last car that was 130hp fwd.

honda fit?

Lmfao no it isnt fun to drive you retard

>>17188443

You can get a used fiesta st for $15k, probably the most fun to drive newish used car you can buy.

A fwd grocery getter...yeah sounds like a fuckin blast

>>17188443
No. Just get a civic for 3k.

>>17188520

Alright buddy, keep your buspass then. Fiesta st is the number one new car bought by Auto journalists for a reason.

>>17188550
Not to sound like a retard, but what's so great about it? It looks like something my mom would drive.

>>17188571
Nothing. The St is shit just like all new econoboxes. At 15k you should just save a little more for a g37 or an Accord coupe v6.

>>17188586
I'll look into those. What's your opinion on an FR-S?

>>17188595
Underpowered. Meme engine.

You really should just get a civic for 3k

>>17188443
No. They were fun through 2006, then Subaru turned them into a mom car.

older ones are fun if you're willing to push them to their absolute limits.

>>17188550
thats like sourcing consumer reports for information about BMW's

The ST doesn't have shit on the impreza's AWD

Gti, Mazdaspeed 3, FRS, Mini Cooper S, Miata..You have tons of options at that budget.

>meme engine

yea some rando journalists say some stupid shit meanwhile this thing is a rolling fireball

They can be. They take a lot of WRX chassis/suspension upgrades easily.
But, you gotta wind that na motor out to get up to any speed.

What about newer revisions? This article was released recently.

>>17188595
Just got a BRZ, fun RWD car. Sure it's not a fast car but it's easily modified. I'd test drive one.

2017 MAZDA3 SP25 SEDAN PRICING AND SPECIFICATIONS

even though the article i got this from is attempting to convince me the SUBARU IS THE BETTER CAR, it fucking isnt.
Mazda gets more power and torque from a FWD than subaru can squeeze out of their pathetic CVT 4wd. NOT TO MENTION it uses MORE FUEL from a SMALLER ENGINE fucking REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE fuck subaru

>>17188571
Fiesta ST makes like ~187hp and has a 2,500lb curb weight, that's a very good power to weight ratio.
They're quite a small car though and might not be practical enough for you.

I'd look at mazdaspeed 3's. Quite a bit of room, pretty comfy and a nice 2 litre turbo for some play.

>2.0I
>Engine: 2.5L
you might wanna check your info. The Impreza comes in 2 configs, a 2L FA-20 and a 2.5L EJ25

>>17188725
the 2.5L is the mazda.

>>17188758
woops my bad

remember the AWD is probably the reason it uses more fuel

>>17188443
>15k
You can get a decent 2010 (or older) WRX for that kind of money.
