  • good video!

  • is the 2011 model that scored 10.1 0-60 different from 2009? because the 2009 impreza gets 8.2s 0-60 according to car and driver.

  • Emme I LOVE U lol keep up the good work

  • I'm so curious about the new generation STI. .

  • Emme is so hot!

  • Wow. A woman!

  • Good god! What did you do, Subaru!? The outgoing model looked much better. This looks like an Altima fused with the rear-end of Chevy Malibu. Looks like I won't be buying my first Subaru any time soon.

  • @homersimps1

    Agreed. This 2012 model looks like it's a revamped version of a 2002 Ford Focus for heaven's sake! Subaru's styling was much better at the end of the 90s and into early 2000. Looks like I'll be hanging onto my old '98 for a while yet.

  • @LostInPhilly89 You know what? I don't know what happened, but over the weekend I kept obsessing over this model to determine why I didn't like it. I found that the 2.0i model is why I hated it. But the premium and limited models with the different rims, make it look A LOT better. The interior is a bit bland, but I think Subaru is still in an option.

  • looks kinda like the legacy but none the less they better make the STI out of this !!

  • Nice review. Can't wait for the 2013 WRX!!!

  • Emme, I am in the market for a new car. I was looking at getting a Honda Civi LX, manuel transmission. That is until I read that the new (non-hybrid) Hondas are experiencing some battery problems. It seems that after a 3-4 days of not running a new 2012 Honda the battery will start to drain and die. The dealerships are saying that this is due to back ground technology running off of the battery even when the car is off. Any help would be awesome! Your videos are very helpful, thanks a million!

  • Great review emme hall! Does the CVT improve acceleration ?? I'm not very familiar with driving a car with a Cvt, but I've heard that it sometimes revs the engine so high that the noise intrudes into the cabin. What are your thoughts and opinions of the hatchback version impreza ??

    Thanks !

  • @18switchfoot I own a 99 Legacy wagon with the 2.2 auto, this car is like mine but stiffer i felt the drive was smoother because it doesn't shift since it has no gears. alot of people complain of a whine i never heard anything.

  • Subaru, Its time you put Xenon headlights!!

  • @AlexKBK

    Screw Xenon, the new LED technology is the future. Its brighter and lasts way way longer then the Xenon and it costs less. I never thought that the auto manufacturers would use it but Audi is already using it on they're new models. So I'm sure a lot of manufacturers will follow.

  • Great Review Emme, You're the Best !

  • 1:35 dumb ass pulls right out in front of her

  • Great review! My wife and I are die-hard Subieholics, and I'm a member of most of the online forum communities. I love the 2012 model, even though some folks don't seem to like it. To me, it's a sharper design than the last one. All new cars are met with contention, it seems. :-] The loss of power/torque is strange, from the EJ25, but smart with the modern focus on economical cars. I think this is packaged better, and will keep Subaru on top of its game.

    I have a 2005 Legacy GT Limited.

  • Oh - and I personally prefer the hatchback.

  • The new looks impreza meh compared to its older siblings imo. Btw Emme your hair looks amazing in this vid. Its more calm and inviting now. Great videos, keep em coming.

  • Emme is the best car reviewer on Youtube!

  • I like your reviews , you do know what you're talking about, your reviews don't sound scripted like those of some other girl.( I wont say no name)

  • emme is such a great reveiwr I LOVE EMME (:

  • Great Job Emme! Lots of personality but didn't go over board. You also did a great job at presenting the Impreza in a favorable light. Two thumbs up! :)

  • GREAT review as always...Keep up the good work :)

  • Dear Emme,

    Please can you reveiw more convertibles and check their back seat... And one more thing, you should be in bikinis. Like at ALL times. lol Thanks

  • every next subaru is uglier than the previous one

  • Emme, what, no clothes baskets rating here...hahaha!

  • roadflytv is my new fav automotive youtube channel the reviews are really good and professional. thumbs up.

  • Girl reviewing a car ... yeah right

  • why does it seem like all Roadfly reviews are way too positive?

  • that maxima looks great

  • wonderfull job emme!! luv roadfly tv

  • no tech revierw n no interior shots !

  • Wow! No lies, the car was alright, but your review helped me think of this car differently! Great review, Emme! :-)

    Will consider the manual, despite the drop in fuel economy (which was what turned me off from the new Impreza in the first place, as well as its' looks).

  • you improved alot on your presentation, much much better than those first 2-5 review i have seen.

  • emme, does this have the demon eye in the headlights? like the one they have one brz and xv?

  • Subaru cars are not contaminated with high levels of nuclear radiation from Japan's recent nuclear disaster. This radiation includes Plutonium-238, 239 and 240 which will take millions of years to decay. Effects include cancers, infertility and sperm damage.

  • I'm lost! the 2009 2.5i I had did 0-60 in 8.2s and 1/4mi 16.9s. How's the 2012 faster??

  • Emmie can make a boring car exciting. Great job. Btw, how tall are you Emmie?

  • I really like how Emme Hall speaks,really nice voice & says the words so clearly, which is why sometimes I watch video reviews about a car but doesn't mind the car at all, I just listen to Emme. Haha!

  • love the vids!!!! cheers from crazy stew in seattle!!!!

  • I get between 25-26 MPG in my 05WRX. Like the extra fuel saved is worth the change to a N/A (27MPG) 2012 in terms of fuel around town. On a positive note, the hatch/wagon variant looks awesome in the 'red' colour shown in this video. IMHO the vehicle is a much more visually appealing from the rear and side views.

  • Love the new hair color and the new Impreza really makes a good first impression. Hope it keeps up with the crowd.

  • That is definitely an FB engine. During my time at Subaru, I ran into a lot of these engines. They're very easy to service as they do not need to be lifted for an oil change & there is no need to deal with "Satan's Manifold" as I have named it.

  • Emmy, just asking, are you straight? It does not make a bit of a difference and I apologize if this is a bad question. I also think that you are an amazing reviewer. Keep up the great work.

  • @prodigy1210 As her favorite showtune says -- Ain't nobody's business but her own.

  • @123gwf

    How did you know that's one of my favorite show tunes? Thanks for having my back, but he was polite so I answered him. ;)

    -Emme

  • @prodigy1210

    Well, the guys I date could probably vouch for me!  People mistake me for gay all the time and it really doesn't bother me, but you asked politely so I thought I'd answer. You can keep up with me (and my menfolk) on my Facebook fan page or on my hallassracing blog.

    -Emme

  • @hallassracing549 Thanks emme.. Sorry again. You rock

  • That's a lot of car for the money!

  • Radical new look for Impreza- I like it. Looks quite similar to the Legacy. Great mileage, btw at 27 city, 36 hwy. As always, Emme is hugely interesting and makes even a review of a so-so car entertaining to watch.

  • Why is Emme so amazing?

  • @vaiol123

    Years of hard work.  Plus I race off road, eat my veggies, am kind to animals, and I love Star Wars. Glad to have you as a fan!

    -Emme

  • @roadflytv emme, what off road class and league do you race?

  • @jebusthegreat

    I just bought a 2/1600. I'll probably jump around this season and do a few MORE races, VORRA, SNORE, and possibly CODE, which is a Mexican series. No SCORE for me this year I don't think. Both the Baja 500 and 1000 conflict with my work schedule...but you never know! I'll have pics of the new car up soon at Hall Ass Racing dot com.

    -Emme@RoadflyTV

  • @roadflytv Awesome to hear Emme. 2/1600 is a fun class... buy a kidney belt though =/ Those are the best leagues to race in. CODE gives you a chance to race baja without paying SCORE entry fees and dealing with SCORE's BS. Good luck racing!

  • @roadflytv what happened to jessi lang?

  • @roadflytv Be my wife :D haha

  • @roadflytv HAWT!!!

  • @roadflytv What! You actually reply to viewers comments? That's totally cool.

  • its ok i they should come out with a sport model

  • Slick 007 maneuver at 0:36, showing that Sienna who's boss

  • Emme your the bestt

  • i like when people say Impret-sa

  • The best videography of a car review I've seen in a long time.

    Liked how the review wasn't limited to the middle of the sticks.

  • the best car reviewer on youtube me thinks

  • nasty!, iam not talking about the car

  • 1:33 = Some prick almost hit Emme pulling out!

  • wow those new yorkers drive crazy just like angelinos here lol

  • :41 i spy an E class

  • STI is gonna look mean....

  • 9.8secs? And the 2011 took 10.1? Can't be the faster impreza.

  • cvt blows.

  • I hate the sideview mirrors!

  • No kitchen jokes on Emme because she has the respect of men as a car reviewer.

  • @draquine Very true, you cant make kitchen jokes on Emme because she knows cars better than a lot of men, besides the fact shes's such an amazing reviewer.

  • Great back to basics review Emme. I can't believe how great you have developed in your reviews. I look forward to the laundry basket count.

  • brilliant,the car was ok too

  • eww eww and eww, they made an ugly car even uglier! sorry Subaru.

  • this base model leaves alot of work to be done to make a good wrx and sti

  • it must be weird for her not to wear heels.

  • What's the laundry basket rating?

    The fog lights are a bit too small for an Impreza--what happens when that turbo comes (WRX)?

  • @bottomlayer she only does that when the car comes to them. when they have to go to the car, no basket rating.

  • I'm between this, the legacy and the outback... not sure what to get

  • Sorry Emme

  • Emily where is the sun roof halaa?

  • Subaru new models are throwing me off, i had a hard enough time adjusting to the current design, which i became fond of eventually. Hopefully they have updated their M/T it seams as if the tranny was a bit outdated, glad to hear they have more than a 4 speed auto.

  • Emme, What do you drive daily? What is actually YOUR car?

  • @edmaluf

    What? You mean you haven't checked out my blog, Liked me on Facebook, and followed me on Twitter? All your questions will be answered and then some. :)

    -Emme

  • Hatch or sedan? I was convinced I wanted the hatch, with the sedan not even being an option because I thought it looked so...plain. But now, not so sure. Yes, the hatch has the cargo space, but I'm never hauling cargo. And lately the sedan is really beginning to grown on me(not like a fungus). Looks especially good in Subaru silver too. That, and it's 500 bucks cheaper than the 5-door. Anyone?

  • STi?!

  • Should get better mileage I think.

  • If it had the twin turbo like the legacy it'd be a uber fast car. Emissions and gas mileage wise it would suffer though.

  • great review.

  • Great review Emme!

    My brother lives in the mountains where weather can be an issue. I emailed him this review. Thx !!!

  • @jrhalpha

    Thanks for forwarding my review!

    -Emme

  • New cameras ???

  • Must have been laundry day, no baskets :)

  • This is very short video.

  • I never thought I'd say this about your reviews but, nice review Emme.

  • perfect. Drivin' a stick in America. And she's a woman!!! Nothing sexistic but mostly the women drivin' automatic in my country

  • I like the styling of the 2007-2011 Impreza hatchback more.

  • Remarkable woman, I mean a great car :D

  • Leather seats but no pwr seat, awd but on city car, probably perfect in Japan

  • great review Emmy!

  • Why would anyone need AWD in this car? I hope that is an option.

  • @hawkermustang Are you serious? If so you must live in a warm climate like Florida or California or in some tropical country. I live in a region that gets lots of snow. I also own a 2007 Impreza which has gotten me to work on unplowed roads with 2 feet of snow on them. Your question seems silly to me.

  • @porsche558 True, I live in AR and snow is not often a problem.

  • this car sucks

    why would anyone buy it

  • @boywonder0550 Highest mpg for a AWD car. lol

  • booo! no sunroof! ...but u were great emme!

  • @zanderesqueda Umm yes there is a sunroof for this car its an option...

  • @soyntgo4it lol im sure... i ment in this video...i look forward to emme's halla!

  • @zanderesqueda I saw a sunroof like 4 times in the video and once with the wagon.. are we watching the same video???

  • @soyntgo4it obviously.... i need to see my neurologist :(

  • nice looking good value car!

  • too short

    

  • Anyone else notice the nice red E36 BMW parked on the side at 0:41 ??

  • at 1 min, a turbo in a couple of years? But then go onto saying that the car is not meant to be fast, so if people want a fast impreza, go get the WRX else enjoy this commuter scooter (what it was designed for). Overall, a good quick review, but I would have avoided the turbo aspect or at least mentioned the loosely related WRX & STI for those wanting performance

  • emme, how about the interior, controls, and ergonomics?

  • Great video but no power.. ugh.

  • Forgot to add, great review by the way!! =] lol

  • IMO Subaru just gets uglier and uglier with the image of their cars but that will hopefully change with the BRZ, really dislike the tone of blue Subaru uses aswell :(

  • Perfect for my wife. Safe and efficient. I'll be waiting for the turbo.

  • It'll attract a lot of tuners who will do "God knows what" to it as soon as the title is theirs.

  • Emme, your reviews are awesome! Way to throw in some pizzazz!

  • when it comes to criticism, roadfly tv seems to concentrate more on the good parts of the car rather than the bad parts. emme didnt even mention the styling of the car which i personally think is getting worse by the model. the back is acceptable but the front is fugly.. i guess ill have to wait for the sti but im still doubtful.

  • @photodyl I think the back is ridiculously ugly and the front is handsome. All a matter of opinion. =D

  • Awe I missed the laundry basket rating! :(

  • Emme is a fantastic Reviewer. Fresh fresh

  • 1. i think caranddriver tested the manual at 0-60 in 8.3 secs, which is respectible, 9.8 secs with the cvt is pathetic 2. i read somewhere that the manual has a full time subuaru awd system whlie the cvt has a part time system to save fuel. Conclusion: i'd go with the manual or nothing at all

  • I'd love to work for Roadfly.

  • Where's the interior? Come on Roadfly!

  • this presenter has no talent at all, besides she is not funny

  • I hate this women, where is Jessie Lang

  • New York looks like a horrible place to drive.

  • @datboiwes333 dude is fun as f&$# in my cooper works. Where else can you one minute have mini grand prix with a cab and the next park on the zebra, eating a hot dog waiting for the pedestrian to get out of the way!

  • @datboiwes333 i spent all my life driving here and its definetly one of the worst places in the world to drive next to LA. thats why all the drivers are so aggressive - theyre frustrated.

  • @datboiwes333 It is my friend, it is..

  • @datboiwes333 Horrible place to live, too.

  • oooooh nice hair

  • I'm sorry, but you really need a new mic.

  • Emme does it have a sunroof?

  • I'm an Impreza owner, and I'm not going to purchase this car. Might as well be a Toyota Corolla or a Chevy Cruze.

    I didn't buy my Impreza because it had the best gas mileage in it's class, because those cars are homogenous, boring, lumps.

    I purchase my Impreza for it's sportiness, unique look and rally heritage. This car has none of those things.

  • @moaski i hear the wrx/sti will have a different platform. They haven't lost their heritage yet. THey just want a bigger market =)

  • @tommiedatrip I think they have lost thier heritage. The BRZ STi "Concept" is only available in rear wheel drive and will not have a turbo! I speculate that the STi Impreza will have a similar powertrain.

    THAT'S SACRILEGIOUS!!!

  • damn thats a good price

  • Why did they get rid of the projector lights?? Sometimes, when they redesign a car, they make it worse.

  • @giannial1985 Thats like asking why doesn't every car manufacturer put HID headlights in theirs car. No one knows why they don't. Maybe for cost reasons.

  • @soyntgo4it I think you haven't understood what he was trying to say. 2008-2011 models had projector beams (not HID). Only the Sti came with the HIDs. The fact that they came back from projectors to normal boring headlights is a downgrade. You cannot compare that to cutting costs on car productions. False analysis.

  • @Johnyboy775 Thanks! That's what I meant lol :)

  • @Johnyboy775 Its for cost reasons true analysis. there really isn't much difference with projected lamps and regular and I have had both styles. Now HIDs . BTW yes I can compare cause its cheaper with Regular lenses. With any lamp assembly you can modify it for HID anyway so whats the real big deal here...????

  • ps great vid love your channel

  • have you guys done the ford taurus sho or dodge charger yet?

  • @roadflytv Welcome to my neck of the so called woods Emme. Cut the city doesn't look like Mass though.. Very Nice Subaru but Ya we could use the Turbo Subaru..

  • Is there a Sunroof????

  • @StangBang35 You didn't see the Sunroof in the Sedan???

  • No Emme laundry basket ratings??

  • What's the laundry basket rating?? :(

  • @ihategeneralmotors

    I know! I was bummed I couldn't do a laundry basket rating too. I took the train from DC to NYC to pick up the car and do the shoot and apparently Amtrak doesn't like it when you try to bring 6 laundry baskets on the Acela!

    -Emme

  • do u guys have the best car of the year thing???

    also do some lexus models :P

  • Like it.

  • I've been waiting for this every since you made that guest appearance on Driving Sport.

  • she so hot

  • Can't wait until the WRX based on this.

  • Good review Emme! Wife and I are waiting for the 2012 Subaru CrossTrek and we are looking forward to either you or Ross to review!

  • My brother just bought a 05 Impreza Wagon 2.5 RS.. It's a fun little zippy car, it's not very spacious, not very comfortable, and it's not really great at anything except the twisties. BUT, there's something about it that makes you love it, and we'll definitely be returning for another Subaru soon. The ad couldn't be more right, LOVE, is what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.

  • I was more fucused on how poorly everyone was driving...

  • @ltrebl I was focused on how poorly you spell.

  • I love seeing you guys review cars in town and not just on country roads. We really get to see how they blend in with the traffic and how much get up and go they really have. Great review by Emme once again!
