2010 Subaru Impreza 2.5i 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 4cyl 5M)

This is an easy car to own. I've had it for 5 years and have not had to do any repairs, just normal maintenance. I had previously owned a Subaru before this one and was hit on the drivers door. My only injury was a burn from the side air bag. The car was totaled. I fully believe this car saved my life.

This car burns a ton of oil and they will not fix it. It has to burn more than 1 quart every 1,200 miles or they will not fix it. I am unhappy with Subaru for this reason alone. I will not buy another Subaru or promote buying any of their cars. If something breaks or is flawed, like my engine, they won't make it right.
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.

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.

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.
