Second and LAST Subaru

This is my second Impreza. The first one, a 2006, was a much better car. I had no problems with the 2006. The 2010 has 31k miles on it and feels like it's rattling apart. It's been idling rough for a few months, but according to the dealership that I brought it to, that's what makes a Subaru a Subaru. I just dropped it off for an oil change and found out that the rear brakes are completely worn down to the metal. The paint is also pretty terrible. It scratches if you look at it funny. After less than a year, I had scratches around all of the door handles. It's my personal theory that Toyota is not so slowly trying to kill the Impreza.

Total Failure of a Car

The clutch on my 2.5i Subaru went out at 40k miles, the center armrest cracked, the side arm rests caved in, the trunk rattles and it burns oil like mad. Now the car is turning itself off intermittently while running, probably from a failed fuel pump. We are selling this car and getting a better vehicle. This has been the worst vehicle we've ever owned.
Packs more punch than is credited for

For the class of car, my experience with my 2010 is that it has the fun of a sporty car and the handling of a real all-weather machine. Great acceleration, nice tight handling and the AWD makes it stand out the most in Minnesota driving. I put Blizzac snow tires on a seperate set of rims and swap out tires come winter and it handles in snow BETTER than 4WD trucks I drive past. I credit the better handling in snow to the top grade tires and that the AWD is situated on a more even weight distribution than typcial pick up trucks have with their light back ends (and thus more prone to spin out in slippery conditions.). While the Impreza can't handle deep snow its lower clearance helps keep it tight to the road and I manage 3-4" on the road without much trouble. The down side of this car is that I had to replace the head gasket at about 80K and that is not cheap. Also, avoid hitting a deer like the one that jumped out in front of me as the plastic that these newer/safer cars are made with gets expenseive fast to replace. I average about 24 mpg in mixed driving. If I get another Subaru it would probably be a Forester for more room. I LOVE the AWD that all Subarus come with, you can really tell the difference driving in various conditions. That is probably their best selling point.

Not as good as 2006?

This is a replacement of my 2005 Impreza Sport (manual). Some things are better, some are worse. Better instrumentation overall (but where are some gauges that used to be there idiot lights are for idiots). I like the engine, it seems to be a bit more responsive, but the rest of the sport designation is not as good: greater roll (not as firm suspension? Higher center of gravity?), the seats are too comfortable: for wide people. The bucket seats are sized to fit much bigger person and dont embrace as tightly. When combining that with increased roll in turns, the feeling of tight control is not there. Gearbox, while smooth could use different ratios and one more gear.
