2013 Subaru Impreza 2.0i PZEV 4dr Hatchback AWD (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

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.

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.

Outstanding car with great all-weather capability. Engine is a little weak at 150hp, especially with the AC running. Extremely reliable transportation with excellent safety features.

Had rotors go at 30,000 miles (1 and half years old) The dealer would not honor the warren-tee, instead "turned them" looking for a different car or at least year.. don't get 2013

I have the 2013 Limited hatchback. The car handles great, and has remarkable traction in snow, especially with snow tires on (CDN driver here!). All said, it is AWD, so it should do all of this! Downside(s)... stock Yokahama tires were garbage and my dealer did not stand by me. I am constantly needing brake and bearing work done. The shifter cable has crapped out on me twice, the most recent tonight (what drove me to look online for potential secret warranty bulletin), the cable opening my gas hatch also gave out. I had a continuous snap in around my windshield when cold outside and I hit a bump in the road. I had into the dealer twice with no issue found. I recently needed to replace the windshield from a crack. Replaced windshield does NOT do the same!! Navigation system is way too complicated and Bluetooth connectivity is iffy. My back hatch hydraulics went with no warning (no stiffness or whatever) and just about took my head off! I detest this car. I really looked forward to getting more years from it, but I am done. I had a 1988 Honda Accord and a 2002 CRV before this Impreza and had only normal expected wear items occur, and MUCH better treatment by the dealership. I will never buy a Subaru again!
