Did NOT let me down!
I owned a 1999 Subaru Impreza and loved everything about it until it died. I just (less than a week ago) leased a 2012 Subaru Impreza Hatchback, the 5-speed. Being a lover of the stick shift I was pleasantly surprised. My last stick shift could barely make it up a specific hill in 3rd gear and let me tell you this impreza cruized on up in 5th gear - at 6mph none the less! Some claim the interior is less than perfect, but come on when has Subaru been on the leading edge of sync technology or anything like that. If you are driving a subaru it is becuase of the AWD and reliability. So far I love it, but then it has only been 3 days. I will post an update in a few weeks/months!
Not What I expected in a Subaru
Updated, I've now had my car for 8 years. Had 3 recalls, the car is noisy when driving on the highway, the ac in summer barely keeps up to the heat, my drivers seat developed a pretty large tear in one area at 60,000 miles The paint has not held up good This year so far there was a huge problem with transmission, luckily it was covered until 150,000 miles, shortly after that the valve cover gaskets started leaking into the spark plugs, another 1,000.00.. My drivers seat has a huge rip in it, looking through other reviews it is common... Also be careful on your oil, it seems these little engines run hot and oil burns .. always down a quart or 2 between oil changes...

Impreza's Don't Properly Represent Subaru
The Outback and the Forester blow away the build quality of the Impreza in my opinion, unfortunately it rides on the coat tails of the entire fleet as far as ratings and resale value go...
