does anyone know how expensive they are compared to other makes of cars

l would pick out some parts, and call the dealer for prices. See if you can afford to pay that kind of money. And i`d ask their shop rat while l had them on the phone. Hope that helps.Have a fun day

Yep, l have a Subaru Legacy Outback, had a Impreza. Its a foreign car, u r going to pay more for everything, insurance, maintenance etc. But it is a high quality vehicle. My Impreza lasted till 230,000 miles & another driver is still driving it. Never had to replace the engine or anything huge like that. You r getting quality for the money. It is a 16 symbol on insurance which is the highest, depending on ur age/state, u might be paying alot of money. l am paying 145 bucks a month. l dont have an exact price difference, but the parts r more expensive.

Get yourself a Mitsubishi Evo 6 or 7, better performance and cheaper maintainance! EVO ROCKS!

If you maintain the car it wo not be that bad. I've had mine for 6 yrs now. And if you get an older model the insurance is much cheaper than buying new.

It is but they are dependable and to fix is not like they used to be about 20 years ago.
They are reliable, dependable , great handling and good on gas for an AWD system. Plus there are after market parts out there for them.
They are great cars!
