The most difficult aspect of moving from a Mazda into the Subaru was the interior comfort and quality. Inside, the Impreza feels better styled, if not entirely upscale. The federal government hasn't yet tested the Impreza in its revised and more stringent battery of tests for 2011, but in previous model years this model has received a mix of four- and five-star results.
Auto Show, but we now get our first look at the production version of this rear-drive Subaru coupe ahead of its public debut atā¦.

Power and torque remain the same at 296bhp at 6,000rpm and 300lb ft at 4000rpm. At least I could see it and get to it easily. The recall began on January 27, 2015. Rough city pavement and wide freeway expansion joints were absorbed equally, with dampers avoiding any unnecessary oscillation. The springs in the 2011 are stiffer even than those of the 2010 special edition but still deliver the compliance needed for bashing along dirt roads or surviving commutes. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger frontal air bag, these inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling.

Regardless of how you get going, the big Brembo brakes, with ventilated iron discs that stand up to off-pavement abuse, merely shave off speed or stop immediately with equal aplomb.
Our Mazdas have been extremely good to us and I've talked many people into shopping and buying Mazda. The 5 speed transmission shifted flawlessly and smooth, while the 2. At highway speeds, apart from a little engine rumble and wind noise from the side mirrors, things are very quiet in the cabin. Recall Date 2018-01-09 Description Subaru of America, Inc.

Do it right and you can even induce a little four-wheel slide just about anywhere you'd like, perfectly controlled and very neutral. Wiper coverage and strength is up to muddy rally standards, well beyond daily driving, and on most models the area where the wipers park is electrically heated so you needn't wait for the defrost to thaw them before sweeping the snow off. It's torquey and responsive at low revs, making it especially well suited to the four-speed automatic transmission, though the five-speed manual also brings good performance.
