The STI Special Edition will be available in an initial limited run of 125 units. It will be a slightly decontented model with upgraded performance suspension (derived from the Japanese spec C), unique Aspen White paint and gray spec C wheels. It will have halogen headlights instead of HID, no power headlight aiming, a single-disc CD player with  4speakers instead of the 6 CD changer with 10 speakers, manual air conditioning instead climate control, and body color side mirrors without built-in turn signals.
The 2010 Impreza WRX Limited adds leather interior, HID headlights with power aiming like the STI, and Sirius satellite radio to the WRX Premium model. Prices to be announced.

> Model codes have changed to accommodate SoA's new 'Option Package' ordering system. Example, an 09 WRX Premium 5door is code 9LP, with Navigation the model code is 9LQ, but for 2010 it would be a WRX Premium model code ALO plus Option Package #14 (Navigation).
Anyway, this new order and model code system is being used on all  2010 models.
> Colors- Camillia Red Pearl is now available on GTs (not WRX or STI)

The new pink STI Coil Springs are specifically tuned for street performance and are approximately 25 percent stiffer than the stock springs. Vehicle ride height is also reduced by about 10mm.

The STI Coil Springs are covered under the 3-Year, 36,000 mile Genuine Subaru Accessory Parts Warranty, and may be installed by the dealer.
April 7, 08  Subaru announced a stop sale on all of the 2008/2009 Subaru Impreza, Forester, Legacy and Outback vehicles equipped with a 2.5L Turbo Engine produced with the beginning chassis number and later as shown below "due to several reports of "Engine Knocking Noise” from other markets on vehicles produced after the production dates listed. Initial investigation confirms an internal wear issue on the failed units. In the interest of preventing any possibility of failures for our customers, we have chosen to isolate any potentially affected vehicles by ceasing sales of the potentially affected units until the root cause and correction can be identified. All the other displacement engines and the 2.5L Natural Aspirated Engine are excluded from this action".

Brake Assist, boosts the brake power when the driver cannot depress the brake pedal strongly and the brake power is insufficient. Brake assist generates the brake power according to the speed at which the driver depresses the brake pedal.
Note: When you depress the brake pedal strongly or suddenly, the following may occur. However, even though these occur, they do not indicate any malfunctions, and the brake assist system is operating properly. 1) You might feel that the brake pedal is applied by lighter force and generates a greater braking force. 2) You might hear clicking (knocking) sounds around brake pedal.

A Pillar beam
5-mph impact-absorbing bumpers

2.5GT active front headrest, height adjustable (the 2.5GT doesn't have one piece performance design front buckets).

Summer tire and what it means tires designed for warmer temperatures and high stress use and are not good in inclement weather. The rubber compound does not maintain elasticity in cold weather. This means the grip level of the tire is less in cold temperatures even on dry pavement. In the cold a summer tire becomes unpredictable and feels slippery when cornering no matter what the weather. This problem is compounded in wet or snowy conditions.

Towing Towing a trailer- is not recommended with an Impreza and no factory trailer hitch is available. Unofficially, if you are going to tow with an Impreza anyway, check and maintain all fluids and tune-up specs, and keep weight and speeds down, and of course have a reputable hitch installer install it on your car. Warranties might be affected by towing.

Towing the car- a flatbed is always recommended when towing your Subaru. A manual transmission can be towed with all wheels on the ground behind a tow truck or motorhome for example, but never with just 2 wheels on the ground. 
An automatic can be towed with all 4 wheels on the ground in an emergency for a short distance (under 31 miles) at very slow speed (under 20mph). A flatbed is strongly preferred.

2010 WRX 5door, January 2010 Popular Mechanics issue 'While numbers don’t accurately portray the Mitsubishi’s talents, the WRX’s figures speak volumes. The 265-hp flat four-cylinder engine is burdened with only 3235 pounds to pull around the racetrack. And unlike the traction-challenged Mazdaspeed3, the WRX has all-wheel drive—so every pony is channeled to the ground. The WRX is a scrappy, point-and-shoot specialist. The blown motor suffers little turbo lag and dispatches straights with startling brevity. Directional changes take an aggressive hand. You pitch this car, rather than delicately thread an arc, and count on the all-wheel drive to handle corner exits. While the WRX has an excellent, everyday, plush ride, it leans dramatically into the corners. And the body heaves and bobs, which makes the driver wonder just which way the car wants to go. The brakes are another confidence killer because they fade quickly and the pedal gets spongy. Finally, there’s the overly stiff clutch, which really saps the fun of rowing the manual gearbox.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel falls perfectly to hand, and the seats are all-day comfortable. Better quality interior plastic, however, would be more fitting in this $30,000 car.
Though the WRX includes heated seats, automatic climate control, Bluetooth and touchscreen navigation, we’d skip all of it for a tauter suspension to match the Subaru’s straight-line speed.'
