2017 Subaru Impreza 2.0i Limited 4dr Hatchback AWD (2.0L 4cyl CVT)
1 of 2 people found this review helpful
I have been driving this car to work for almost two years. My drive is only 2-3 miles one way so I get to work just after the engine warms up. The mileage is therefore not very impressive 23 mpg in the city. I like the interior and exterior styles. They are elegant and straightforward. The car is comfortable and fun to drive. The power is adequate and handling is good. The steering can be a bit vague. I like the moon roof and the Harmon Kardon system because they add to the find of driving this car. Interior and cargo volume is also great. Parts of the entertainment system are buggy but the controls are intuitively laid out. The eyesight system works very well. Would I buy the car again? I would get something more exciting like the Hyundai Veloster turbo or an electric car.

Overall the car handles great runs smoothly but it’s loud once it starts up and the fuel economy for a sedan such as this absolutely sucks

I have been looking at Subaru for years now. Asking random people how they liked their surbaru overall and it was always good remarks. So when it was time to give up my avalanche, I chose the crosstrek.

Out of Control!

Bought our first Subaru last fall. It took some time to get used to CVTransmission but worth the good gas mileage. What we can’t get used to is the “wobble of death” ride we have to endure each time we drive over grooved pavement at highway speed! Deeper grooves cause the vehicle to shift side to side making it difficult to stay in the driving lane. My wife reported it to the dealer who said when the tires wore in it would go away??? Well, at second oil change about 10,000miles I told service manager car would feel like it was out of control on grooved pavement—he said the “the wobble of death” like when you go over a steel grating with your motorcycle and I said exactly! He said they could try to realign tires. I asked I if it could be a problem with ABS or AWD traction control. He said no cause there were no warning light on. So every time we go over this particular stretch of highway I grip the steering wheel, pray and listen to my wife complain that she is getting car sick!

Holds the road really well. This car does what you want it to do. Plenty of room for a small car.

Dangerous Lemon

Mine was a 5 speed manual sport trim. Biggest waste of money. 3 months of driving clean and then the problems cascaded. Either the ECU was cutting fuel or the pump was overheating under no load after 30 minutes driving. Either case significant lugging at 2600 RPM up to 3500. It got so bad it felt unsafe on the highway. Other problems were technology connectivity glitches, and rough idling. It was brand new. Dealer and service at it we're kind and tried to find a solution or what was wrong but couldn't. Sold it for a massive hit because I couldn't sell it without warning it was junk and possibly dangerous, didn't last me a year. This was the third Subaru I've owned, not the first with issues, but the first with such significant ones. No more Subarus ever again. You lost a customer for life because of your terrible car and lack of support for your service staff.

Would I buy this car again?

I finally bought the Subaru I always thought I wanted but it has proven to be a disappointment in some fixable ways. 1. The stereo has a standard setting to be ON whenever the car starts, this makes it tough to conduct business on the go. 2. It is too low to the ground, often scraping on elevated driveways. I do love the way it drives and hugs the road. 3. not integrated with Google Maps

I haven’t been able to enjoy this car since I bought it in June 2017. Recall after recall - not exaggerating - at least 2 per year. Things they have already replaced getting recalled for 2nd and 3rd times. First it was because it was burning too much oil and now it’s the ignition coils. I don’t have time to go to sit at the dealership every month for hours on end. This car is JUNK and Subaru has done hardly anything to compensate.

Other than the a/c "o" ring in 2021 the car has been very reliable. Comfortable and confident in our Toronto weather also.

I love this car. I bought it to just get around town. I like it better than my newer car in New York.

How long should OE tires last?

After 2 years and 30311 miles, the tires needed replacement. This was in spite of regular tire rotation. Subaru customer service recites that tire life is recommended at 24000. General tire wear is 40,000 according to several reputable web sites. Subaru customer service told me I needed to contact the tire company to register a complaint. My feeling is I didn't buy tires, I bought a car with tires on it, and I expect the manufacturer that purchased the original equipment to stand behind the product

Love the car, great handling, good gas mileage, good sound system. I wish is was quicker acceleration but I read only the WRX has that kind of speed from 0-60

Some time in 2019 the microphone and SOS system had a failure that started causing a power draw that killed 3 batteries in 18 months. The dealership techs could not figure it out. I took it to a small shop and they found the issue in an hour. Then the transmission failed at 51917 miles. Subaru is still deciding on the warranty claim. I guess they only take your money in an hour or less. If you buy this car, I hope you are lucky and get a good one. Mine is trash.
