I like the small hatchback look of the new imprezas. They drive well too compared to my SS. I want something thats good on fuel and sticks to the road and is safe and easy to park. no FWD crap only AWD or RWD. All i would plan on doing to the 08 impreza would be a small exhaust and air filter to fre...

Oh really? Even better than the 2009 or 2008 model? It wasnt the RS it was an rx i think.

Maybe the forester xt would be a better idea?
Should i maybe try test drive the RS just in case i liked it?

Hi guys. Just new here. So i have a question. I am selling my car that i currently own which is a 2004 SS commodore and buying a Subaru. So i am looking at the manual 2008 RS model.
