SNOW MACHINE!

This is my first Subaru and probably not my last! I bought this car brand new April of 2014 and since then have put on 26,000 miles. I live in the mountains of Vermont, where last year we got more snow than anywhere else in the lower 48 states. This little car performed like a champ! I often times drove out of my driveway that was covered in a fresh 12 inches of snow (Without snow tires!). I average 30 MPG, which I find to be great considering it's AWD and I have a few mountains that I traverse everyday. If you need good gas mileage and a car that can get you through the worst of winters, this is it! I also like that it comes standard with almost every modern safety feature. As of now no repairs, just oil changes.

This is a great little car. Very reliable, great quality, and value. Security of all wheel drive. It is not a fast car, and a little boring, but it will never let you down, and gets 30 -31 mpg. Every tank full. Very, very, dependable, if you do you basic services, they usually go 2-300 thousand or more. Only one downside, the radio speakers are pure trash. Oh yes, this is our 8th. Subaru, use to live in Michigan, very good car for snow and wet.

I bought my Impreza brand new and now have about 3,000 miles on it. So its still very new. However I am averaging 31MPG on the mountain roads of Vermont. I was pleased to see that I got Power windows, power locks, bluetooth, aux/usb, and a CD player in the basic model. I added the roof rack, spoiler, and mud guards which makes the car look good. I would recommend adding those if you are getting the base model, otherwise they look like a toyota matrix. As far as comfort goes its not to bad. I fit as a 6'2 205lbs man. The hatchback provides plenty of space for groceries and camping equipment..... If you are concerned with MPG and need AWD then this is a wise choice.

It's all about the mileage

Car only has 3000 miles [not 'broken in' yet!] and I'm getting 27-29 mpg city, 34 highway [85/15%] - using math, not dash computer. Doing posted speed; cruise control whenever possible; no jack-rabbiting. Can't wait until it's broken in!! Didn't want the biggest car, the fastest car, the most impressive car. Wanted reliable, safe, nimble and GREAT gas mileage and my Impreza delivers on all counts. Gets me to my destination with no worries about road/weather conditions. Nimble steering; low profile not bothered much by high winds. Ride comfort is acceptable. Main complaint is the red dash lite - really? What idiot OK'd that?? Bluetooth great, radio could be better but have had much worse.

My family has been buying Subaru's my whole life. We've always driven them "into the ground" if you will. I commute a total of 64 miles a day and travel a lot through out the year. I love hiking and mountain biking and this Subaru was the perfect fit for my life style. Even my Great Pyrenees loves it! At 26,000 miles, my center differential went bad and Subaru gave me a brand new CVT Transmission. I've kept up with all my maintenance and take pride in keeping my car in great condition. At 136,500 miles, I started noticing a shudder in my transmission. Mainly in first and second gear. Then the next day, it was significantly worse. I experience the shudder in third and fourth gear, but not as bad. I contacted Subaru of America since they extended the warranty on the CVT by 100,000 due to customer complaints. I'm obviously over that limit and they weren't too willing to help out. The best option they had was to give me a trade-in with credits towards a new Subaru. I'm hesitant to take this offer and haven't made a decision yet, but I wanted to share my story. I really, really love this car. It brings me to tears to think I might sell it. I hope this helps someone else <3
