I desired a WRX, however reality dictated my pick

I traded my 2010 Forester XT for a 2018 Impreza Sport as my wife traded her 2009 Out Back for a 2018 Forester... I fell in love with the color Oasis Island Pearl/Black- For me all the gauges except the speedometer at too small, as are the pictograms which are also confusing to me. On the plus side the harmon audio system is wonderful, I do miss the 6 C/D player my Forester had... Around town this is a great car, on the highway Rte 128 (Boston area) it seems to drift slightly. The keyless entry is sort of neat, however there is not a really a convenient spot to place the keys nor is there a logical place for a pair of glasses regular or sun. This vehicle has way to many whistles & bells for me, for a more tech savvy consumer (i.e.: younger) it should be perfect. At 125 miles on my odometer, I am not sorry for this purchase. I really dislike the Sirius radio, AT 5300 miles the mpg is good, The front seats are not comfortable, and it dificult getting in and out.

No one told me it would have a built-alarm system. That gave me a discount on my car insurance!

There is no truck release button or switch inside the cabin. You gotta physically open the truck. Another issue is power. It’s low powered. Need to step to 4000 to 5000 to start from stop to keep up with other cars. One more thing is volume for navigation reset every time you restart the car to the factory default. Very annoying. It has rear parking sensors but do not have front parking sensors.

Drove 02 outback for last 4 years, got this 18 Impreza 6 weeks ago and loved it every drive. Awesome handling, smooth transition, great braking, feels heavy and safe.

This is my third Impreza. After reluctantly returning a much-liked 2015 and asking for a Crosstrek, I was instead put into this thing by the dealership. While the interior is slightly more plush-looking and slightly roomier and the car overall will do until I can get into something else, it's just....a poor remake, fixing what wasn't broken, LOWERING the ground clearance rather than raising it (the one thing I did not like about my last Impreza) and adding annoying OCD features like constant, constant alarm-sounding and screen-flashing input from the unfortunately-not-optional driver safety system. An aggravation rather than a help for those who already know how to drive...like having Sheldon Cooper in your front seat, shrilly instructing you and distracting you at all times. When doing anything from turning on lights to activating the windshield wipers to trying to shut off the audio, there is a noticeable delay in response time. Sluggish. The exterior paint seems to be some sort of crayon compound; I put a miniscule scratch in the finish when my canvass work bag (no metal findings, just cloth) brushed against it as I tried to make the electronic key fob open the door. With good snow tires, it handles reasonably ok in snow, which is why it got three stars rather than two.The radio has NEVER shut off --read the manual, doesn't work. The vehicle is not environmentally friendly--spews flumes of exhaust whenever it's started, smells oily. I do like the backup camera and obstruction detector--that actually helps--but other than a used Forester which needed 19 repairs in two years, this is my least-favorite car..and that includes an old Neon which caught on fire as I was driving it.
