Used 2017 Subaru Impreza Hatchback Consumer Reviews
Fun to drive
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

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!

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
