Bought the car in September of 2013. I was looking at several but decided on this as I couldn't afford the gas bill for the premium fuel only WRX and this car still had the famous Subaru AWD but also boasted very good gas mileage. So far at 6000 miles with largely conservative highway driving I am getting worse mileage than my girlfriend's 250hp BMW. Worse mileage. It feels under-powered even for a 148hp car (the dealer says "it will really open up at 10000mi" lol) and the AWD has not been as advertised. I've gotten stuck and had to be pulled out three times on a dirt road that my old sports car did not have trouble with. This car is so close .. but fails.
Still undecided
After having the car for awhile its not as good as my impressions of when I bought it from the dealership. But it is a very good price AWD car. Buying a Subaru was a different experience. I found out that you will get a substantial better price from a large volume dealer than smaller one. This is how Subaru distrubution model works and the Impreza is a hot car. Our order took 6 months instead of the 12 weeks we were told, but we kind of knew this going in.

Reliable, zippy car
Had my 13 Impreza for 8 years. Bought used with 55k miles, more had 127k miles. It's been an excellent, reliable car that is zippy and fun to drive. Knock on wood, only issue has been repeated rear wheel bearing issues. Had them replaced a couple times. Nothing other than that. Love this car.

Reliable and Fun to Drive
I have owned my Subaru Impreza since I drove it off the lot in 2013. While I’ve had to replace the breaks, tires, and take it to the shop for body damage caused by the driver (me) I have otherwise had no problems. My Impreza is currently at 90k mile and the last 2 years all I have had to pay for was the oil change and inspection. It can be a sluggish when it comes to acceleration, and has quite a bit of road noise which makes it hard to have a conversation on the freeway via Bluetooth. But it handles so well and visibility is great so I feel like I can go anywhere safely while enjoying the view. To me that’s all that really matters in a car.

Still going strong
Currently at 108,000 miles with few major problems. The car has had several recalls but all performed at the dealership as needed. It has used almost a quart of oil per 1,000 miles but other than needing to constantly monitor that, it has been a very good car. It had a rather expensive ($1600.00) transmission problem that lit up all the instrument cluster lights. It has had wheel bearings replaced several times.
