Bought my car in Sept. 2020. Second Subaru I’ve owned. My only complaint so far is that I should have just got a Crosstrek. I find that the car has no major concerns. The car could use a turbo engine option as that would add to the overall appeal of the Impreza line. I will always buy Subaru but next time, I’ll buy for space such as an Ascent or Outback. UPDATE 2: Still in love with this car. Originally I talked about space constraints. However, I have the hatch version and overall, I’m happy with the space. After recently driving a different type of vehicle, I have come to terms with knowing I made the right choice. Highly recommend this car for anyone who wants a car that works, make sense with the layout, and has the features to take you into the next 5-10 years of vehicle feature lineups.

The engine is noisy. The gas mileage terrible compared to my 30 years of Camrys. Inside is cheap plastic that when it gets a drop of water stains.

Had them check this problem at least 6 times. Go to close the drivers window and it would go three quarters of the way up and go back down again. Sometimes I had to try closing it 5 times before it would stay up. Last time they replaced the track with a new improved track. Got to say it lasted at least 6 months. I will never own another Subaru

Rev hang and problems accelerating

I own a 2008 Subaru Impreza wagon with standard transmission, always liked the car. Decided to buy a 2020 since the 08 is getting tired. Bad move, first of all whoever designed the interior did not design it shifting in mind. The cover on the console storage bin gets in the way and makes it very uncomfortable to maneuver the shift lever. Then there's the horrific rev hang which keeps your RPMs up there when you push in the clutch to shift. It makes it very difficult to shift smoothly. I took it back to the dealership to see if they could do something to fix it and they said no that's the way the computer is programmed. Not sure what I'm going to do with this thing, whether I'll keep it or trade it on something else but with the rev hang and trying to maneuver the shifter around the console lid it's a very unpleasant driving experience that's for sure. For now I'm driving the 08 mostly and I'm glad I didn't get rid of it. **Updating my original review here, in warm weather my 2020 Impreza has an intermittent problem where it does not want to take the gas between 2000 and 3000 RPMs. (Since I bought the car in winter it was a while before this first happened) When it does happen, regardless of how much or how little gas you give it the car just just limps along and will not accelerate. It actually creates a dangerous situation when trying to merge on the highway or making a left turn with oncoming traffic. It's kind of unnerving because you never know when the car will randomly decide that it doesn't want to accelerate. Doing online searches I see that I'm not the only one with this problem. The dealership finds nothing wrong with the car. Although the extent of what they can do is to just look for codes. The car's computer believes it's driving fine. Subaru of America did take an interest but in the end said that until the dealership can find something wrong with the car there's nothing they can do.
