As one of the most economical and fastest mid-range sports cars on the market, the 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX STi blows away the competition with its powerful engine, abundant safety features and price. This high-end sports car is an option for even the average Joe.

The Impreza has five doors and seats five. The vehicle's new 2009 styling includes flared fenders, high-luster silver finish wheels and graphite gray Alcantara upholstery complete with leather trim. These combine to give this formidable machine the look of a car far above its price class.

The real thrill comes once you take a peek under the hood. The 2.5-liter, four-cylinder turbocharged Subaru-patented engine can create 305-horsepower. Controlled by a six-speed manual transmission, this powerful engine can propel the car from 0 to 60 in less than six seconds. This premium system requires the highest grade premium unleaded gasoline.  The WRX STi can get 17 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway.

The Impreza's unbridled power comes with a breadth of standard safety features to keep both the driver and passengers safe. Subaru has invented its own limited-slip differential system called the Driver Controlled Center Differential system.  This system utilizes both mechanical and electronic monitors and controls to create the safest traction-control system on the road. ABS and driveline brakes round out the stability features. Front and side impact airbags for the driver and front passenger, as well as side impact and side curtain airbags for all the occupants of the first and second rows, come standard as well.

Add luxury to the Impreza WRX STi by purchasing the BBS package which upgrades the wheels and adds fog lights. The BBS and Navigation package features a CD player with a 10-speaker system, a navigation screen and system, and has Bluetooth capability.

The 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX STi is one of the most affordable, powerful and safest mid-range sports cars on the road.  Whether you are a speed or safety enthusiast the Impreza WRX STi combines the best of both, making it almost impossible to pass up.
