My First Subaru and I am Impressed
I bought this car for my wife. Since we live in Colorado, I wanted them to be safe. ***You must change the tires, the stock tires are bad***. I ended up changing to Michelin Premier A/S and I am getting 100% traction satisfaction and safety. When I drive it, I take the corners fast and the Subaru is fun to drive. The handling in all weather is excellent including snow, off course with the Michelin tires only. I am getting 29 city and 37 Hwy after I changed the tires. Before it was 25/ 34. The acceleration is OK but is not a fast car WRX fast. If you are looking for a fast car WRX is the one. If you are looking for a fun and safe car all weather, this is it.

Mostly a Great Car
I have moved from a Honda Civic to the 2013 Impreza. Car drives much better than the Civic, about the same gas mileage with a lot less road noise. Seats are better than the Civic, most of the interior is on par or better.
Mileage is above advertised! I love it.
I bought my CVT premium hatchback in December. This is my 4th Subaru impreza but first new car. The best thing about it is the mileage. At first my average MPG seemed low but then I started looking at the instantaneous MPG readout and adjusting my driving style to maximise fuel efficiency. Now at around 5,000 miles I am getting almost EXACTLY the MPG estimated by Subaru, 28 around town, 30 mixed and 36 highway (actually I did get 38 a few time on a long 100 mile drive). The other great thing is the leg room in the rear. I had to drive a rental Ford Fous for a week and my son complained that he had LESS room in the back than in the Subau. Not sure he's right...but still.
Impreza Hatchback Imprezzive
My first Subaru, picked up a few weeks ago after laborous research, test drives, and deliberations. Could not be happier with my purchase. No car is absolutely perfect, but this car meet every one of my criteria at or beyond expectations. It is comfortable, practical, fun to drive, and as versatile as any car I have owned. I use it as a city car and it takes pot holes like a champ, manuevers perfectly, feel safe and comfortable, and squeezes into those tough spots a full size just cant. I love my Subaru and the Impreza wont win any contests on looks alone, but is really the most practical and well rounded car I can find.
CVT Transmission, Beware!
Pay attention to the extended 100k mile transmission warranty, even though sometimes it dies at 102k. All the lights popped on, ABS, hill assist, check engine, etc. and I was told it would cost $3500-4000, to have the transmission rebuilt, but it costs more than the car is worth. The mechanic told me to leave the car on the side of the road. I would have except I still owe money on it. Subaru messed up pretty bad, and the consumers have to pay for it. There are a couple other recalls that were issued, of course when I went to the Dealership to have that handled, they found something else with it. The car has been in and out of mechanic shops, things going out at different times. My headlights have gone out many times, not sure if there is an electrical issue there. The stock windshield is very easy to crack, I had to replace it and the replacement is lasting much longer and withstands more than a pebble. It wasn't bad on a commute, easy to park, and the sound system is pretty good.
