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.
Totally in love until... 136,500 miles

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

After 1 year driving this car, overall I"m fairly happy with it. Good: Excellent mileage for AWD vehicle and weight of car - safety good Very roomy front leg room for tall people Great visibility Car does not get stuck in snow Needs improvement: Braking worse than Honda FIt I had before on slick roads in spite of AWD Bouncy suspension Loose steering - not the greatest at holding in lanes at expressway speeds No padding the seats - took ages for me to get used to them and still not great for long trips If I wasn't living in snow country I wouldn't have this car. The steering is more than annoying and the traction at least on the wagon version of the Impreza is strange. If the steering was better I would like it much better than I do - maybe my car is flawed. Cannot recommend this car however.

Bought my Subuaru Impreza Sport Limited hatchback from Len Ciotti at Doyle Subaru in Webster. Len had been helping me look for a car for a few months before that. No pressure in purchasing the vehicle at all, he would let me test drive whenever I had the time to do so and he helped me find a car that was within my budget. The car had even more features than I initially knew about when I bought the car. Heated leather seats, heated side mirrors, heated windshield wipers, rear view camera, touch to talk bluetooth capabilities, auto dimming rear view mirror, and automatic climate control to name a few. This was the car I have been looking for. I have only had it for a few weeks and this is my third Subaru now. So far it rides very smooth and is surprisingly quiet. Being that it is the limited edition it is very comfortable and I do feel slightly higher off the ground than in my previous Impreza sedan. Slightly higher gas mileage in the city than my previous Subaru as well. I can't attest to the maintenance yet. It has snowed a couple of times and it handles well, gripping the road around turns and not slipping from a stop. I would recommend this car to anyone, but I am little biased being a loyal Subaru fan.

10 Months of Regret

When I initially purchased this car I think I wanted to like it more than I actually have. After having this car for 10 months I'm baffled at how it got so may glowing "professional" reviews. For starters the steering on this car is just plain sloppy at higher speeds making lane control more difficult than it should be. It also gets tossed around like crazy if it's windy. Keeping this car under control on the freeway is a constant chore. The car also lets in a ton of outside noise especially at high speeds making a freeway drive even more miserable; as a whole the car feels like it has little to no insulation. Fuel economy is bad for how little power the engine delivers. The interior or the car gives a good first impression, but the longer you spend time in it the more you notice most of the door is cheap hard plastic that easily gets dinged and has zero durability, you discover a complete lack of usable storage, and a cargo/hatch area that is so narrow it's virtually useless. Part of the reason I got this car is everyone said "Asian cars are more reliable than American cars"... well that's a lie considering the HVAC fan and both front wheel bearings have needed to be replaced since I got the car (had 26k when I bought it, has 34k 10 months later). I've also had to deal with the wipers glitching out; they get stuck in the up position making me have to turn them off then back on to reset them, on two occasions the remote/electric lock system refused to unlock the car (lock light on dash was flashes like a strobe light) forcing me to use the key to unlock the door. The only redeeming qualities I can think of is that the car is very effective in snow and has great messy weather "traction" and the heated seats are comfortable. If I'm being frank, the 16 year old Grand Am I had before this had much better steering, had similar fuel economy but more power and was quieter.

2 1/2 Years and I'm Still In Love

I purchased my Subaru Impreza Limited Hatchback brand new in July, 2014 and it has been pretty much trouble free, minus some tire issues since then. I highly recommend changing the stock Yokohama Avid tires for something better, because they're simply junk; and expensive junk at that. Although the interior is much more *clears throat* conservative than other vehicles in its class, nor does it have an intuitive navigation unit (Which is an option that my vehicle has), it makes up for it with its impressive cargo room, comfortable driving position, AWD, and killer MPG. I've easily gotten 38 MPG on long highway trips not driving at a snail's pace. This is my first Subaru and it certainly won't be my last. However, I plan on taking this little chubby beast for 200,000 miles.

60,000 miles and no problems. AWD gives a confident feeling in rain, snow and cornering.

This is the first Subaru I've owned and I am quite pleased with it. Fuel economy is great - especially for an all wheel drive vehicle! As my son said as we were going around a corner at speed, "you can't tell that you are going around a corner!" He was speaking of the car body not leaning. I don't weigh a lot so the seats are a little hard on my less than padded posterior but acceptable none the less. I haven't had do have any repairs done but I've only put 16,000 miles on it. Exiting the back seat is a little difficult if you have long legs (adult). Interior is a bit noisy at highway speed but I just turn up the stereo to mask it. (Update: My daughter bought the car from me and she loves it! Still no major repairs yet, knock on wood! Almost 90,000 miles and still gets great fuel economy. This car is amazing on snowy, icy roads , which is one of the reasons she loves it!)!! Update: Have driven this amazing car for a while and it impressed me enough that I purchased a newer Subaru Legacy! The Impreza has been relatively trouble free, just one small problem with the electrical connection to the HVAC (heating and air conditioning) control unit.

3K in repairs by age 4-1/2

I took the car for service at 4.5 years (warranty was to 4.0 years) because A/C didn't work. Car had 37K miles on it. Dealer told me I needed compressor for A/C and new brakes front and rear. Total bill was $3200. I live in the snow belt and don't use the A/C much. A 4.5-yr-old A/C shouldn't need such an expensive repair. As to brakes, I had NO PROBLEM with the brakes. Dealer said the linings were very thin, but other dealer 2 months earlier said linings were very good. I'm a careful driver, don't slam on brakes etc., and had driven less than 1000 miles between the two dealer visits. My dealer said brakes were so bad you had to slam your foot on the brakes to stop the car. That's entirely untrue. I've been driving for 60 years and I can tell when my brakes need work. So dealer lied to me re brakes and A/C failed way too soon. I just traded the car in on another brand and will never buy from Subaru again.

Handles well in the snow - but that's about it!

With decent all weather tires, and the paddle shifters (optional add-on) in a pinch, this car was great. But it is the absolute worst car I have ever owned. Multiple electrical problems that took the dealer multiple trips (and me being an absolute bulldog) to fix (and, in one case, never fixed, unless you believe that the seat warmers almost never actually working is because they are "weather sensitive" lol), including one just under the nose. Even worse, oil consumption issues (and, yes, I used the pricey synthetic oil), that were covered under a warranty extension that I never was informed about when I did the (again, pricey) 30,000-mile interval services at licensed dealers. Dead transmission less than 2 months after that last interval service. And I mean, dead, it totally died suddenly - potentially dangerous. Subaru doesn't seem to care (because they know about it, clearly). Many lemon model years, do your research. But, hey, it handled well in the snow.
It is a fine automobile

A great buzz around car! I’ve owned this car for 2 1/2 years. It’s zippy enough and has lots of room for schlepping groceries and items for my business. I sold it because I wanted something more luxurious. Now that I have my luxurious car I do miss the agility and practicality of my Impreza hatchback.
