Test drive: 2009 Subaru Impreza 2.5GT
Thursday October 9, 2008
When talking about new-for-2009 models, it's important to keep in mind that the typical development cycle for a new automobile takes 3 to 5 years. So back in 2004 or 2005, the idea of following up the 2008 Subaru Impreza with a new 2009 version that had more power, more ameneties, and a higher price -- namely, the Impreza 2.5GT -- probably seemed like a good idea. Today? Er, not so much. On the other hand, the 2.5GT is basically a 2008 WRX -- a fantastic sport-compact -- with an automatic transmission. So is the 2009 Subaru Impreza 2.5GT a diamond in the rough, or is in an idea whose time has passed? Find out in my 2009 Subaru Impreza 2.5GT test drive and review. -- Aaron Gold

Well has it’s time passed? I bought cars that got good mileage when gas was cheap so this will shock you all.
Nope. Oil is back down to around $80. I will not be shocked to see it get down to $70. Gas prices are falling and people have short memories.
Just about the time the Volt is out gas will be down to $1.78.
Aaron, I live in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and I have a doubt. I drive the 2006 Honda Accord 4 cylinder, and i want to know if i can order the navigation system and install it on my car ? would really appreciate your earliest reply.
