Can’t wait to get rid of this car
I loved my 2014 Impreza Sport so I was happy to purchase the 2024 when my old one needed regular rust repair to pass inspection. Sure, this car, without fail, gets me where I need to go in the snow…that’s why I bought a Subaru. But I wasn’t prepared for the “nanny state” technology. The automatic braking took me by surprise when I tried to pull into a busy, traffic filled road. The car braked as I was trying to accelerate. Subaru said I could turn this feature off, but it turns itself back on every time the car is started. If my dog shifts his weight in the back seat my car beeps incessantly. Subaru told me I would need to plug all the seat belts in to stop this. The rims are cheap and not made for rough country roads. The remote starting app is not reliable, as there are places I go that this feature will not work. How I miss the auto start button on the key fob of my old Subaru! I just had to push a button in the past and now I need to take out my phone, log into an app (wait for it to “dust of the road maps”) and push more buttons. I cannot discretely start my car at the end of a meeting anymore. And then there’s the seat belt beeping that gets louder and louder and doesn’t stop even when the car is stopped. Of course I should wear my seatbelt to drive 50 feet down the driveway of the farm where I work when delivering items between barns. I had hoped to keep it for ten years, but after eight months I’m trying to figure out how to save enough money to buy a different car sooner.

New Subaru owner
I never owned a Subaru, i never really liked the look of them. I owned a 2017 Chevy Cruze Hatchback, which i loved. I wanted an AWD for the winters but Chevy does not make an AWD hatchback. I was looking on Carguru's at all different models. I put in Subaru and a 2024 used Subaru Impreza RS showed up with 2700 hundred miles. I thought the car looked great. I went and test drove it, fell in love with the 11.6" screen, how the car drove, the comfort and all the extras the car comes with. I bought the car two days later. I love this car!

Noisy cabin noise on freeway
Features are great but it has a lot of cabin noise Although it drives great.
special order from car dealer
I don't like the sunroof (moon roof?) so I ordered one without a sunroof and the color I want through the car dealer, and waited for two months to get the car, somehow the car came without the driver power seat. I should asked the direct sale person about it, lesson learned. Overall I am satisfied, thank you Edmunds team.

Will always buy Subaru
This car overall has been a joy to own. Yes it could have a little more power, but this isn't the WRX and not every vehicle needs to do 0-60 in 5 seconds. This has been one of the cheapest cars to insure for me in the midwest, and that is due to all the standard safety features. Other reviewers feel they are intrusive, but having owned mine for over a year, I have had zero issues. Only things I'd change is the auto start/stop and the rims/tires that came with it. Low profile tires don't do well in a city with crappy roads. I took this vehicle through Yellowstone last year. Eyesight with adaptive cruise control is amazing for long road trips, and the Impreza averaged 37mpg on our trip.
