The '17 Impreza redo was really promising, after a few months it quickly became an enormous disappoint with big time buyer remorse. Five separate repairs had me considering an immediate trade in but who in their right mind takes an immediate "depreciation" cash bath. Subaru's supposed reliability and owner satisfaction reputation is truly hard to believe after nagging suspension issues, fuel lid and power door lock issues, a backup camera reinstall and an oil cap replacement. Aside from the dealer repairs (needing to brace yourself for dealer surprises, what terribly awesome waiting room anticipation, worse than ERs) to be fair the hatch is definitely versatile for those needing AWD in avoiding SUVs and the optional safety spend option is a must. The transmission is unnecessarily underpowered even with light driving, merging on highways, difficult. The weight of the car with a weak engine won't bode well for long term ownership. What else, to see a cd player, HD radio and more USB ports recently added to the Premium trim is another new kick to the groin but you can't exactly ask the manufacturer for a do over. The point is you seriously need to consider legitimate, unbiased, unbought reviews (manufacturers and dealers alike) factoring real cost, real reliability, brand along with what you truly need to make as much as an educated decision as possible. Edmunds had it right from the outset but I regretfully passed on their commentary for other favorable reviews of what I wanted to believe in. Big mistake. Oh and TrueCar for comparison pricing? Useless. You're simply at the mercy of the dealer and your tolerance for bs each and every time. Good luck and happy, safe driving.

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.

Avoid Subaru

Nothing but trouble with the Impreza and dealership. Similar to other negative reviews regarding the recalls but worse. The armrest top material is wrinkled and damaged from the sun, numerous unresolved electrical problems in addition to the display recall which also has not been resolved, door window not working, key lock not functioning, acceleration issues with gas pedal delay. Should have walked out when the sales petson could not do some simple math and then wanted to accuse me of trying to cheat him over his mistake. Bought the car for my fiance so she would have a reliable vehicle especially in the winter. The dealership has given her run-around numerous times. Avoid the west side dealership in Madison WI. Will be taking this to the next level if not resolved. Definitely NEVER buying another Subaru.

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.
