I bought this car in July of 2007 and the combined city/road gas mileage was 24 mph. As of about 8000 miles, when it was supposed to be broken in and getting better gas mileage, it dropped to 17mph. I have had it checked and talked to the guys at the dealer only to be given a ton of excuses and suggestions. Like, use Premium gas, only use top of the line stations, mix the regular/premium gas and they couldn't come up with anything wrong with the car after checking the engine. Not only that, make sure you know the dealer service and don't let them over fill the oil. Mine was way over the fill line. Not happy with the SUB. Terrible carpeting and they won't replace it.

My first new car in 25 years. It has exceeded just about all my expectations. It's great fun to drive and very responsive. It towed my pontoon boat with no problems. I've abused it with weekend excursions along the back roads of the Eglin AFB reservation -- sandy, soft roads often with deep mudholes. Came close, but haven't been able to get it stuck yet! And I've pulled out a few other drivers along the way. Don't get it into water too deep, though -- you'll ruin your charcoal canister, and they're expensive! My overall average fuel economy since new is 25.63 mpg -- that's with complete records through 62,000 miles. I enjoy this car thoroughly and would buy another in a heartbeat!

Generally pleased with purchase. Tiny engine has great pickup and can climb hills. Car rides hard as though it needs shocks. Has all the characteristics of the old poorly made Japanese models of years ago. Car has "tinny" sound. Road noise is very objectionable. Can't hold conversation. It is only satisfactory as will be used for local trips only. Rate it 6 out of 10. Not worth cost.
Best Subaru!

My mother has had this car for a year. She's the third owner of the car. It's in perfect running condition. It still works after she had a car accident in which a deer was hit. We suggest that the car radio that came with the car be made better. It didn't sound too good so we changed the radio. The car is great, and we still love it and are using it! Just had the AC repaired, and are getting LED headlamps on the car. Mom says she is never getting rid of it.

This has been the worst vehicle I have ever owned in my life! I get about one week of driving followed by 3 weeks of it in the shop and averaging 500 dollars each time. This time, I paid 1100 dollars and on the way home from the mechanics the abs sensor failed, which is another 150 dollars... I am so far in debt with this car I could never get what I put into it by selling it. I will gage to take a loss. DO NOT BUY A SUBARU... RUN AWAY!!!!! WORST CAR EVER. Engine, suspension, door windows, temperature and radio all fall... Horrible!!!!
