Not What I Expected

A disappointment from beginning to end. The low ground clearance created problems entering a slight incline into the garage. Scraped the bottom just about every time. If I went into the garage on a certain angle, no sound. But that was difficult to do since I parked next to another car. The oil consumption problem started at about 15,000 miles and lasted through 19,000 miles. Had to pour in a quart of oil on two different occasions when the light went on. Ended up carrying a quart in the trunk. The local Subaru dealer did two oil changes free and ran an oil consumption test which didn't show up anything. There is a class action suit regarding this problem with certain models. Manual transmission was rough, cornering was below average, noisy interior. I did like the hatchback feature and the clean dashboard. I finally traded it in for a 2015 Mazda 3. Now that is a car.
2013 Subaru Impreza is a terrible car

This car has been nothing but a problem. It has a terrible ride, gets poor gas mileage and at 24,400 miles chewed a set of tires right off the car. Subaru has to pay to put a new set on becuse it was under warranty. It has been aligned four time, it has had the steering box adjusted and now the AWD disengages in any slippery condition. Subaru is aware of how this car is running particulary with the AWD malfunctions, but Subaru engineering insists that the car is running to specifications. It is a piece of junk and the worst car purchase I have ever made. I have heard of many problems with the 2013's so buyer beware on this model year they are defective.

Car was purchased new in 2012. I want to warm consumers that th body is of cheap quality. Just looking at it give it a "dent". The body it like tin foil. The worst is the car is built very low to the ground at 5.6". Small road "bumps" or driving up a steep hill damages under the bumper. Also underneath the front and back bumper damages when parking over curbs. The back wheel guard is even lower to the ground & "hook shape". My car caught on a low curb and bumper partially pulled off. My car is only 1y/o but the body is getting beaten. This is my 6th car and by far it has the worst quality body design.
Disappointed, so be careful

I bought this car new in the spring of 2013 and was super excited. It's been a great car until this year. I've taken very good care of it and am diligent about regular maintenance. I started having some trouble shifting in reverse (I have the manual 5-speed transmission). Then the key started getting stuck in the ignition and it wouldn't turn to start. Now, this week at only 41,000 miles, my air conditioning goes out and I need a new compressor and condensor, and new brakes of course, but it was time for that. Anyway, not happy have $2400 repair bill already at this low mileage. I want to love Subaru because they've had such a good reputation, but I must have gotten a lemon. I'm looking at new Mazdas now. Sheesh.

This car is sporty. Very fuel efficient. I average 30 mpg. Very comfortable although it sits lower than some cars. Handles great. Cargo space is my only complaint but I didn't plan on a lot of excursions and outings when I purchased my Impreza.
