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.

*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.

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!

2015 Subaru Impreza Sport Ltd. hatchback (wagon) with 145K miles and still runs like new. Reliable, low-maintenance and versatile with built-in safety features that really work to help avoid accidents. Excellent rear legroom and cargo space for your Costco and Target runs! So much more car for the money, HIGHLY recommend Subaru.

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.
