I've heard that the transmission is a bit abrupt on takeoff on 2006-07 Imprezas. Is this true?

@smithiy69 Well i have stock exhaust on it, and its surprisingly quiet unless you are excelerating hard. I wish it would be louder. Just doesnt have the same sound as past subarus.

@sdhusker15 Hey thanks for responding. I think you've got me on the new sedan shape now, the hatchbacks looked really cool but the back of the new sedan looks much more aggressive. I've been on carsales.com looking for a good impreza but the best I can find is an 09 rs thats top of the range with sun roof and all, but it was damaged in the vic hail storm and was written off, I also found out it's really hard to get insurance on a written off car. so wish me luck. also how is the exhaust on urs?

@smithiy69 Well ive had an 07 impreza(which is exactly like the 06) and i now have and 08 impreza sedan. hopefully i can help you out a little bit. I loved my 07 to death it performed great no matter what. But i love the 08 better. It just seems to perform better and run smoother and is more spacious with leg room. If i had a choice id chhose the 08 because they changed every aspect of the car to a better design. But both are great cars and great choices

@randyroo141 Hey do you still have your impreza? Im looking at an 06 s-sedan and an 08 hatchback rx for my first car, is there much difference between the two? I cant find anything on the web, it's all about wrx's and sti's. Which one would you reccomend?

@motorcyclekopp *NOTE: I figured out how to disable that annoying CONTINUOUS seatbelt chime that I complained about in my original comment (check out my channel for the remedy). So now, my only complaint is the wind noise, but I can live with it.

I just bought this exact year and model about a month ago. Thus far, I absolutely love the car. It handles amazingly well. The only thing that I could complain about is some minor wind noise at highway speeds. But I really don't think its that bad -especially taking into account that the windows don't have door frames around them. Oh, and the seatbelt chime starts going off almost immediately after you start the engine. Overall though, I think that I'd give the car a 9.5 out of 10. I dig it :-)

@TheZXfuzEXE 2.5i has 170 hp, wrx has 265 hp and the wrx sti has 305
