This is a great all-wheel drive hatchback! I would recommend it to anyone who has to drive in the snow, this is built for snow, cold and ice. I have a manual and my winter driving conditions are very harsh so my MPG is not that great. Still better than SUV's so I'm not complaining. Engine has started beautifully in many days below 0, even in the -20's! Great cargo space, roof rails roof rails are nice.

We bought a used one with 110k on it. Smooth runner, great gas mileage. Good visibility for a short daughter. Fast forward 30k miles. Lots of fancy lights on the dash going off, because it needs a NEW TRANSMISSION which will cost what the car is currently worth. ($10k give or take). Would you want to have a paperweight at 143k, or drop in another CVT? No longer a Subaru, nor an Impreza fan.

15 Monthes and 23,000 miles of ownership and no issues. MPG has slowly increased to now over 37mpg on highway trips. Cold weather and short trips do greatly reduce MPG. Have used it for 300+ mile trips wth 2 adults and 3 kids. Back seat is roomy and comfortable for 3 despite the small size.

I have driven the Impreza for about 800+ miles now. I find that the car handles well and keeps me on the road where many other cars would falter. The car is tremendously versatile with regards to its cargo space, with the roof rails and the foldable rear seats.
