1999 impreza l wagon dbctmc
great car for those who drive fairly long distances in mountainous or snow belt areas. very reliable. dont expect any more than 30 mpg. rear seat has very little leg room even with average size person in front seat. pretty good cargo room, esp. with rear seat folded.
not up to par in the long run
When it was new I got a kick out of it - fun little car. But now, at 70K miles, things that should not break are starting to go. Both rear wheel bearings had to be replaced, this for a car that has never been off-road!! The regulator in one electric window went belly-up, rear wiper arm broke for no reason. Conclusion: a good 3-4 year car if you keep the miles dow.
it all starts to fall apart at once
53000 miles and a new engine block? they made the pistons too small for the cylinders? WTF? the frameless doors rattle and eventually do fall apart inside, nothing to support the glass. heater fan squeals/ chirps/doesn't work.
Always Subaru
I have had my Impreza for 4 years now and it is safe for me to say that I will continue driving Subarus for a long time. I have not had 1 problem with the car. The only work I have had done is normal maintenance. It is a blast to drive, especially in tight, winding back roads. The AWD is superb.
Best car I ever owned!!
This was my first new car purchase and I wish I NEVER traded it in! It was so perfect. I live in the Pocono Mountains in Northeast PA and in our harsh winters and mountainous terrain I NEVER had any troubles and I was running V rated DIRECTIONAL PERFORMANCE TIRES! Unreal! I never had to shovel it out after the plows went by, oil changes were so easy (no jacking required) but the AWD did wear tires out faster than rear or front drive.
