Thinking about saving up for a used subaru impreza as a first car. Can anyone who has one or who has had one can give an honest review and maybe share some pros and cons, and maybe your overall experience with it?

And if you don't recommend a subaru any other vehicles that would be good in winter conditions that's not a gas guzzling truck?

I say spend 8K on a solid used car and spend the rest of awesome ski gear. My first car was 4k. Imagine what I could've done with that extra 11k. We're talking heli-trips here.

Are your parents going to pay for insurance? Insurance for a male first time driver is absolutely retarded. No kid in high school can afford that shit.

It's not an Impreza, but just had my Outback in the snow all day thing is amazing. Subaru's are the way to go in the snow AWD is the shit.

Well I bought a 2007 impreza today with 64000 on it for 6500, and from the 4 or so hours I have had in it and getting to mess around in the snow, I would recommend it...

OK, well then try to get a used Outback or Forester. There's always good deals on those, they're super safe, can hold a lot of gear/people, kill it in the snow, and are decently economical with gas. Especially the newer ones.
