Shopping for a car and my wife and I found ourselves at a Subaru dealership. The staff was very polite and accommodating. My wife had owned a Subaru before and we fell in love with the hatchback. After purchasing we took it on a 2000 mile road trip. The car has a very smooth and quiet ride and is roomy for the size. I wanted the tech and it came loaded with apple and android connectivity. Integrated garage door opener, compass, WiFi and exterior temperature. You also can add apps to your phone to locate, lock and unlock the vehicle which is good because I have been known to lock my keys in the car from time to time. You can also check the vehicles health and get notified on service and recalls. It has a 2.0i and CVT transmission so don't expect plenty of power but it is acceptable for the fuel economy it offers. It does have some overrev when shifting hard, but, I heard that is common for Subarus. The seats are firm and offer great support but not super comfortable for long trips. With eyesight... it will correct if you drift from your lane at times if the lines are not worn but will not steer itself. The adjustable cruise control is nice and will control acceleration and braking until you come to a complete stop. My only gripe is that it sits very low making it harder for older people to get in and out and scrapes when loaded on big dips but it can be corrected with a set of strut spacers. Also, Many accessories are available to customize to your liking. Overall I am completely satisfied with my new car and will recommend it to friends. I am now a Subaru fan!

I bought my 2019 Impreza used at the end of last year with 42,000 miles on it. Before it, I had a 2007 Honda CR-V, a hand-me-down, and a very good car. I dreaded the day I had to give that car up, convinced I wouldn't ever find a car I liked as much. My brother convinced me to go with Subaru, I desperately wanted to stick with Honda out of familiarity, but really needed a smaller vehicle with better mileage and good longevity since I drive nearly 100 miles each day, 5 days a week. I live in upstate NY in the snow belt and the CR-V didn't hold the road particularly well, so safety and traction was a big concern. Went through a dealer- this was my first car purchase and I was pleased with that process. I test drove a 2022 Impreza limited hatchback, 2021 Hyundai Kona, but settled on my 2019 Impreza premium hatchback. Considering that I was driving a 2007 and not remotely used to the displays and everything, I found the 2019 premium a little less overwhelming. The Kona was simply not comfortable, it felt cramped and cheap inside, it was affordable at least but so was the Impreza! I've had my Impreza for three months now, I cannot stop raving about this car. I named her Sugar. It's comfortable- my mom says that the seats are a bit too firm for her (she's in her late 50s). The layout of the dash is very accessible and easy for me to understand, it took less than a week for me to have all the controls memorized. The radio can be quirky, it will often connect with my phone automatically and start playing whatever playlist I was listening to last on Spotify on its own- however WHEN it connects seems random sometimes. Usually it's when I first turn the car on, even if I turn the radio off beforehand it will start playing music. However sometimes it will be 5 or 10 minutes and it will suddenly connect to my phone and start playing music. Last week, the ploughs hadn't run yet but I had to take my brother to work, the little car was pushing through 6-7 inches of snow on the road like it was nothing, resulting in my brother commenting, "wow, Sugar's a beast!" as soon as he said this, comically, the radio started playing, causing both of us to laugh. It's very much a car with personality. I haven't had any problems passing people on the road, it's much quicker than my CR-V was. MPG isn't as good as I'd like- I mean, I'd actually like an electric vehicle, but it's good for now and definitely better than the CR-V. I was averaging 31mpg driving my brother to work on mostly highway, when the weather was nicer. Winter has been rough this year and it's lingering around 29mpg more. I tried the lane assist a bit, I'm not a fan of it, it kind of just ping pongs between the left and right lane if you let it. I like how it follows the car a head of you and matches their speed with the cruise control- that's the coolest thing to me! I realize that this is pretty standard in modern cars, but my family doesn't typically own modern cars! It's really handy, and you can choose how closely you follow. If you start to drift out of the lane, the car gives you a little ding to let you know- which I think is very sweet. As I've said, it handles exceptionally well. Ploughs through deep snow, that low center of gravity really helps with ice, in fact I've only very briefly lost traction a few times during absolutely horrendous weather that had other vehicles slipping everywhere. We've had plenty of temps well below zero and the car has started up every time without complaint, it heats up quickly and the premium's heated seats are a nice bonus. I'll update in a few months, but I've put 8,000 miles on Sugar (up to near 50,000 now) and am exceptionally satisfied thus far. It's a great vehicle and I hope to keep it for another 200,000 if I can! I'm not sure if cars still go that long, I hope they do.

I have the Premium Hatchback. This is my first Subaru ever and I have owned a lot of premium cars like Mini, BMW and Mercedes. I used the car a lot for rideshare so it gets a serious workout. I believe this car is the most car you can get dollar for dollar. First, it comes standard with AWD and all weather capabilities. I think the Premium is your best bet for value and if you want it all go for the limited. A great deal at all levels. So here is the feedback not just from me but hundreds of passengers 1. Ride is very good, a blend of smooth and sporty. 2. Back seats are comfortable and three adults are cozy but doable. Car seats hook up quickly, too. 3. Cargo room is amazing for size. I routinely put two of the large suit cases side by side in the rear laying on the long narrow side and room for the overnight bags, too. 4. Storage in doors for water bottles and accessories is good. Nothing in the center cushion of the rear seat. 5. Traction in wet is good and heading into snow the next four days in Colorado so will get a winter workout. 6. Good visibility all around with huge front windshield. 7. Tech is great w/Apple Car Play. Cons: 1. Long low front end even for a sedan. The trade is a nice low roof to throw my 45lb kayaks on. Watch the steep road and driveway dips, though. 2. No seat adjustments till Limited level, like lumbar. 3. The crossbars are cheesy. They are small, slippery and slightly curved. I would not get them but find some Malone's or Thule's that would fit. I throw a kayak on and it tends to slip off the side of car. Will have to tape the bars or replace. All weather mats are mediocre, too. Back ones constantly slip, fronts okay. I'd buy aftermarket mats. Last, the power is actually okay. Throttle/pedal management is a little different in a CVT and once you get used to it, it's not bad. I took it up to about 11,000 feet and it did fine. Won't win races but the MPG are good and in my driving I constantly get high 20's in rideshare which is a lot of city and occasional highway. I think it would be mid 30's or higher on all highway. The mpg calculator is not real useful. Do it by hand. In any case, I highly recommend the vehicle as a low operating cost, high capability vehicle that has huge resale here in Colorado and other areas. Depending on your budget and location I'd go Premium or Limited. All trims are a bargain in my view. Cheers to all!

This a shoutout to the A+ sales representatives, Louis Hernandez and Mike Medina, both of whom were incredibly efficient (and witty!) and made the purchasing process of my 2019 Subaru Impreza 2.0i a smooth and enjoyable experience. The whole process took no more than 2 hours, and I was able to get a much more competitive price for my car in comparison to other Subaru locations. It's great how paperworks and financing can be so hassle free. After getting my new Subaru Impreza keys, Louis gave me very specific information on how to take care of my new Subaru, and things to watch out for in the first 1000 miles, including driving at varying speeds, avoiding cruise control, and more. Mike showed me how to operate the Subaru, from using EyeSight to connecting my phone to StarLink. It's been half a month since I purchased my Subaru, and I love everything about it, from the strength of the acceleration to the embedded technologies and the beautiful sleek look. Louis also followed up with me several times to make sure everything is well with my new car. Customer service is definitely a defining part of Subaru, and it's one of the reasons I am now such a big fan. If anything goes wrong with my car, I know Subaru will have my back!

Bought 2019 Impreza Premium (hatch ) in late September 2018. 16 weeks after purchase I began hearing a loud clunk clunk noise when I ran over minor road bumps. Took to dealership on Thursday 2/7/2019 and still don't have a prognosis yet. Sounds like a suspension problem to me. The dealer did give me a 2019 loaner and stated everything is warranty covered. I did a lot of research before buying and thought I made a good choice. This will be a true test of changing my loyalty from Hondas, which I have driven the past 30 years ( 10 new in that time). Wish me the best. Well, the best did not happen. I had this car into the Dealership for various problems three more times. I traded this car July 13.
