2011 WRX 2.0l, lots of fun in winter weather, great car all around.
The interior rattled when you are blasting music, shocks on this car tend to be very stiff along with the springs and all other suspension components, this years make and model had head gasket issues in the engine so be prepared for that, great four wheel drive car, lots of fun, very agile. Insurance is not cheap because it is technically a sports car but repair cost are not very high.

Best car I have ever purchased.
I love my WRX. Knock on wood, the reliability has been amazing. Only a few recalls have occurred: failed brake switch, brake lines that may corrode if you live where it snows and they salt the road, and the airbag (which affected a lot of cars). The handling is very smooth, with a very comfortable ride. The car is very quick and is super fun to hop on the freeway. 100% would buy this car again. I hope to have it for a long time and pass it down to my son.

The 2011 WRX is a great daily car for people who love to drive and feel the road.
My 2011 WRX is a great car, it handles very well and it is quick. It is not the fastest car on the street but it get the job done. Reliable as heck, but I think it is because of how well I maintain it. Overall the ownership experience it is great and I will most likely own a newer one in the future.

2011 Subaru WRX a versatile vehicle packing power and reliability.
This vehicle is a very fun car to drive. It handles well and has a very reasonable amount of power. AWD standard is a huge selling point. The turbo 4 cylinder engine is great for fuel economy. Interior is very nice and easily maintainable. You should be wary with the engine, it is a fun car, but you need to treat it well with proper oil changes, the motors are somewhat notorious for throwing rods if you do not treat it with great care. I recommend getting a cobb tuning program and having it set up by a reliable performance shop for peak performance. For optimum suspension I recommend getting coilovers. Subarus appreciate well as long as cared for properly.

Handling
Yes. Good road holding, good winter driver when equipped with winter tires, good cornering, firm but not harsh ride, 5 door hatchback looks nice & I get a lot of compliments, 5 door hatchback has awesome cargo capacity with rear seat backs folded down, 9 years and 55K miles later it has only gotten to be more fun to drive (I take meticulous care of mechanicals & electricals), once I allow 1st gear to overcome inertial forces and car is in 2nd through 4th, putting pedal to metal is a joy. Low maintenance costs over 55K miles.

Power and speed make it all the worth.
As I like everything about my Subaru, I did have a problem right after I bought it. Apparently a camshaft bearing went out on it and left it unable to start. I did get it fixed and didn't have any other issues with it. Overall I will probably always buy a sti in the future.

Although it has all wheel drive, it sits pretty low so you have to watch the clearance.
I like that it is a Subaru so it runs great. I regret that it is black because it gets too hot in the sun. It is also really loud and doesn't have enough space now for our active lifestyle.

The appearance and smooth ride I get and the gas mileage
It has the right room. It is exactly what I was looking for, the right price and has what I wanted when I bought it. It is holding up real well I have driven it cross country several times since I have had it

Its fast and fun. Also a great handling vehicle especially after adding kumis.
No complaints, it has been very reliable. I have owned it since new without any major issues. Paint has held up great and no mechanical issues.

It is very nice and fast and a great car for a daily driver.
I love this car because its all wheel drive and is a great daily driver. I dislike that the mpg is not to high. Other than that I highly recommend it.

The engine on the car sounds and feels amazing.
The car drives great. I just have a lot of problems with the power steering. The power steering lines had a leak. Every time I turn my car on in the winter it makes a squeaking noise. Also the transmission has a crack. Recently one of my calipers broke. Just for one was six hundred dollars, there was one the was one hundred and fifty dollars which I would have got. They were all out of stock. I love the interior of the car the seat are leather and sway. I do not like that my car does not have Bluetooth since another 2011 cars have it, so to fix that problem I have to use an aux cord. The sound system on the car sounds good, but it could be a little louder.

Garbage interior but not garbage drive
The steering wheel has poor quality actually the whole interior is kind of the bare minimum of what an interior should have. It's pretty reliable but overall it's really fun to drive which is the only reason you would buy one. Also Subarus selling tactics are trash

2011 Car Review on a Subaru WRX
My 2011 WRX is fun to drive when you want to test the roads. Handles awesome in snow unless there is 5 inches plus on road. Handles turns great. Awesome car for north east Pa. Car is a little tight with room when having three kids. But I make it work. Gas mileage isn't bad for a turbocharged 4 cylinder car. Unless your hitting the mountain roads.

Horizontally opposed engine.
This car has great handling in all terrain, especially snow. I got blizzak tires which is a great compliment for the car. Comfortable for long trips, fits 5 great. Thule on top helps out a lot especially when you have a car full of people. Great engine, even when the car is fully loaded. You cannot tell any power difference. Love driving it.

2011 Subaru WRX sti limited.
It has been a super reliable car. Subarus usually get a bad name for being unreliable but mine has almost 100k without a single shop bill besides regular maintenance. The only problems I have had with it are for some reason my ac compressors keep going out. Other than that it is the perfect mix between sporty and comfortable. Full leather, heated seats, and sunroof really make driving nice and I drive an average of 500 miles a week so that is saying a lot.

Best reliable family car we have ever owned.
Subaru's are absolutely super reliable. When I went to go find what kind of car I wanted I knew that I was looking for something that was super reliable and perfect for the weather conditions that I live in. We live in a four season state and get super dry summers and very snowy winters so having something that is reliable and safe for my family is an essential. My car is so comfortable and I would highly recommend to anyone! I haven't had any issues since purchasing it 5 years ago. We have a pretty big family and fits us all super comfortably! The small details instilled in this car are amazing from the heated seats to the turbo engine.
