2006 Subaru Impreza Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers are very enthusiastic about the 2006 Subaru Impreza, praising its fun driving experience, reliable all-wheel drive system, and solid performance, especially in adverse weather conditions like snow. Many owners highlight the car's good acceleration, handling, and decent fuel economy. However, some drivers noted concerns about limited cargo space and average interior quality, along with a lack of speed compared to performance-focused models like the WRX or STI."
Acceleration is mild due to lack of turbo. Handles just the same as all Impreza family vehicles. Build Quality is amazing, no major repairs, some minor recalls. Exterior Appearance could use some work, but maintains family styling. Gas mileage could be improved on, but with owning this vehicle, one doesn't think about fuel economy.
October 31, 2010I've looked at these cars for a while and finally got one a couple months back. I couldn't have made a better car myself. Sure its not the turbo, insurance would've been crazy anyway, but I love my car. Nothing but positive things to say about it. Quality is excellent, handling is great, and perfect styling.
March 1, 2009This car is a solid performer, with great pick up and awesome handling. The Symetrical All-Wheel Drive ensures the car stays stuck to the road in almost any situation, unless you're on a loose surface. The build is solid, though the back seat could be roomier. Cost of ownership has been minimal, with only one major tune-up being required thus far. I've put over 60000 km on it in the first two plus years of ownership, usually with a highway range of over 600 km per 60 L tank of regular unleaded. Overall, it's a really fun car to drive!

September 10, 2008Replaced a pick-up and needed some space for carrying equipment/beer/etc. Wanted a sports car, and this was a good and inexpensive compromise. Would get a WRX / STi version next time, and definitely better as a standard transmission.
May 31, 2008this car has been amazing! all-wheel drive great for snow/rain... good acceleration, decent gas mileage... and just flat out fun to drive!
January 31, 2008Subies are just hot, there is nothing else to say. Its one of the best cars to own on the planet. You get inside and you enjoy the ride. Awd and the boxer motor what a great combination. Enjoy the subarus
October 12, 2009A very solid, clean & good looking car. Good acceleration, very good braking and handles like a dream. The whole 4-wheel drive and all. Appearance wise exterior is pretty good and interior is fairly standard. Wish I could have a banging stereo. Ofroad driving for this vehicle is an absolute must. So much fun.
October 7, 2008The car drives and handles extremely well. It gives a fun driving experience without the loss of utility. The cost of running it isn't expensive. However, at 52000 one of the head gaskets started to seep. The car is still covered under waranty, so repair is no charge.. its just a little unsettling that this started this early.
July 16, 2010I have to say, I love everything about my car. She starts up great even in cold weather, holds her own against cars that tend to act tougher than me on the road (lol) and I only fill my tank every couple weeks. I love driving it, especially in the snow and my friends love it. I couldn't ask for a better car =D It's my dream car! Beautiful 'blue moon' color. =) (Ps. Perfect chicks car hahah)
January 2, 2010Acceleration is good. handling is above average and braking is good. Tires wear evenly due to Symmetrical AWD. Goes well in winter (snow/ice). Very reliable and safety rating is good. All around a good car to own and drive.
