Nice, but could be more reliable

AWD and the gas mileage are amazing, it’s seems like a well-built car. However, I have run into some reliability issues. The suspension started having issues around 40,000 miles. Thankfully, Subaru paid for the $800 repairs, but they said they were doing it to be nice (if you run into this issue, they may not pay for it). I have also heard of issues with the CVT transmission, hoping that does not have issues in the future. Overall, the car has been solid for 50,000 miles, but has had reliability issues that do concern me. Infotainment system is also really lacking, and the Bluetooth takes about a minute to connect to my phone. I had a 2004 Camry prior to this and it was an absolute tank, this Subaru doesn’t seem like it will be. Thinking I may go back to a Toyota after I’m done with this car.

This is an excellent city and commuter car. It is compact and very nimble. It is very well suited for city parking in compact spots and driving on crowded streets. It gets good gas mileage when driven under normal conditions. On the open highway its decently quiet. Though my only minor complaint is that it lacks any real power. The CVT sport model (and others), come with steering wheel paddle shifters (and manual mode) which is really a delight to drive! Drop a gear for more acceleration, shift back up to cruise. Paddle shifting somewhat makes up for the conservatively sized engine (148hp). But onto some of the Subaru Impreza's strengths. AWD (all wheel drive) makes it very predictable in crappy weather. It also makes it fun to drive around corners. It has one of the highest safety ratings in its class. Its interior and cargo space are built for utilitarian minded people. With the back seats folded down I am able to carry things like a full assembled Ikea shelf, gardening supplies, bikes and stuff that luxury car owners would probably frown at. Since its a Subaru it shares parts with its other Subaru brethren mainly the Crosstrek and 2008+ Impreza WRX. Therefore some aftermarket parts (if you're into upgrading your ride) will fit. My #1 upgrade part would be a larger rear sway bar to reduce body roll. There are many more upgrades for this car to increase handling, but those aren't needed if you are just commuting day to day. This makes a great work horse of a car which is comfortable, sporty, and won't break the bank. Did I mention it looks good too? I plan on keeping it for a long time!

For the price, I expected it to feel more luxurious. The door locks clunk loudly when used. The seats are OK, but nothing special. I bought the top of the line Impreza. I expected it to have all the options available in todays cars, but it doesn't. And I'm disappointed by that. The options it does have are good. The Nav is a little difficult to operate. It does not allow you to search for places by name or type. Such as Wal-Mart or department store. The Eyesight is great! I like the ability to adjust the music to front or back, and left or right.
