I have had my manual Subaru Impreza for 4 months and with in the second week of having it I had to take it in for an oil sensor replacement. This happened to me 3 times before they figured out that my car was using more oil than normal. I had to have the short block replaced and new sensors put into the car. After 2000 miles my car was a quart and a half low on oil. I have had my car in the shop more than I have had it at home. Apparently this is something that a lot of Subaru's are having issues with. Be warned it is not normal for your Subaru to go through that much oil in that short of time, along with having the short block replaced on a new car. I do not recommend a new Subaru to anyone. When I asked if the problem would be solved once the short block was replaced I was answered with "We hope so, but it could potentially happen again." The car itself is great but the mechanical problems is not worth the cost of the car nor the time. I like to drive my car not have to take it in every 800 miles to check the oil or have a repair done.

I have 8,000 miles on my 2015 Impreza and it has been a great car for its intended purpose. Make no mistake though, it is not a powerful, quiet highway cruiser. It is a perfect around town or city car. If you drive on the highway everyday you will notice it is very twitchy at higher speeds and is very sensitive to sidewinds. It seems hard to keep it going in a strait line. Also, the Bluetooth/ touchscreen is terrible and slow. The front seats do not have a lot of legroom for taller people. All in all, the gas mileage has been very good, and it is reasonably fun to drive. My advice, get a base model because it feels like a $17,000 car, not a $25,000 car.

Well, I have had the car for three years and things are getting a bit worn. By worn I mean that all of the suspension components had to be replaced at 40K. Also I suspect that there was something congenitally wrong with them as my first set of tires wore out at 22K and when the second wore out at 40K in the same way. Trips to the dealer (Prime Subaru of Manchester, NH) did not spot the problem. As this was almost entirely suburban commuter driving (no highways, no off-road) I'm faulting Subaru for over $3000 in repairs and service. As an aside, Prime took over Manchester Subaru, the dealer from whom I bought the car, and the quality of the service has deteriorated. I noticed this when I brought the car in for scheduled service. The worst thing was that I was scared to drive the car. When I did take it out on the highway the car would vibrate and you'd get this feeling that the body was going to lift off the wheels. Even after the repairs the hood vibrates a good deal in modest winds and if you cross a bridge in a cross wind prepare for a violent shove to one side. Add this to the experience my wife had with the engine in her '12 Outback failing at 120K and requiring almost $5000 in repairs and I have gone off the brand. The attitude from Subaru Corporate didn't help either. In her case they told us we used the wrong oil in her car until we showed them a picture of the oil fill cap that confirmed we hadn't. Love doesn't make a Subaru a Subaru, flimsiness and denial do. I really wanted to like this car but over the last 10,000 miles a lot has happened to change my mind.

For a compact car, I do not think it is any louder then anything else on the market. My Previous vehicle was a 2012 Honda Civic EX and it was pretty much the same. The car is a great deal for the price, I went for the limited since it was worth it for a bit more money. It is not performance beast but it moves along just fine. I have 3K miles on mine now and I average 33.6 MPG- I think this is great for a all wheel drive vehicle.
Great car so far *EDIT*

*EDIT* So i'm at 8k miles on it now. Not sure if it's because it's winter now or what, but i just drove 600 miles (almost all free way) to Tahoe and back, and got 26.7 MPG for the trip. I feel like the MPG is dipping lower and lower. My total MPG on the 8k miles is 29.1. I feel like this is a bit low since I drive almost freeway exclusively. The tires get some bad reviews, YOKOHOMA AVID S34, so keep that in mind. I feel like it slips on wet pavement sometimes. Also people complain about decreased fuel economy over time, and also general durability issues. There is some creaking that is developing in the car. I'll update if it goes away. Otherwise, Car is holding up well. ************Original Post********************* I got the Sport Premium w/ moonroof package for 22k last month, and i've put 1000 miles on the car. Many people complain about the noise, but I have had no gripes against it. The bluetooth does struggle at highway speeds, but works fine for when I need it. There's an interesting whirring sound when driving it at low speeds. I'm not sure if that is normal, but it has been there since I got the car. Also, the aux input creates an annoying sound when the device plugged in is not on. Besides that, I love the easy access storage room, I can fit 2 bikes in the back and still seat 3. MPG, over-all since I bought the car i've gotten 28.8, so looking for improvement there.

I've owned 3 different cars in the last 10 years and I have to say the Impreza is one of the best ones I've owned. The ride is very comfortable, interior is extremely nice to be in, and the styling is very nice too. Currently I am getting 42MPG (mainly a highway driver). The car does not feel underpowered getting up to highway speeds however do not expect WRX acceleration or sounds.
My first Subaru

First of all, this is my very first Subaru and my first wagon/hatchback of any kind. After driving my 2014 Dodge Ram 4x4 through my first winter in the Northwest I decided I wanted to have more interior room both for myself and other passengers. (Both human and dog). I have now owned my Subaru for about 4months and have driven it about 2000 miles. I have had zero issues with it to date. I've had multiple people, dogs, performance parts for another car, and a 700lb gun safe in the back of my Subaru. I have seen as high as 31mpg in the city when driven like a civil human being. My adult passengers had zero complaints about the back seats and I have no issue with the heated front seats either. I look forward to driving this car in the snow this winter. My only real complaint is the sub-par acceleration with the 2.0 engine and the CVT. Then again....this isn't a sports car. All in all I would give this car a 9.9/10. A little more acceleration would make this a 10. Awesome car!

I had my car for about a year now. its definitely reliable, safe, and I bought it for $21k (tax and all) I don't know much about cars, but for my first AWD, its nice. I just hear weird noises when its cold outside......and the stupid "low tire" light keeps coming on for various reasons. I drove over a lump of snow twice, and that light came on. It turned off about 4 days later. Also the hub caps keep hitting the tire valve stem which sets off the tire light too. It drives great in the snow. I wont complain about that.

I am HIGHLY disappointed in Subaru. Before I bought my current Subaru, I had heard from various Subaru owners that they will not drive any other car but a Subaru and that Subaru cars have a high resell value. After buying my car, I have had NOTHING but PROBLEMS including not moving out from park and leaving me stranded. My car has been in the dealership at least 4 times for the same exact problem and they have claimed that they have included a Subaru rep 2 of those times. Mind you the car was bought brand new and is 2 years old. When we finally spoke with customer service from Subaru, they told me that they would NOT buy back our car and give us a 2500 settlement for our "troubles". I am HIGHLY disappointed with the customer service I have received along with the fact that Subaru is NOT buying back my car. By Subaru not buying back the car, it should show future customers that Subaru DOES NOT stand behind their products. I am NEVER buying a Subaru again!

The mpg that I am getting is way below the estimate. Recently almost all my driving has been highway miles and, according to the onboard stats, I am still getting only 31.5 mpg.
