Traded in a Mustang GT for a WRX with CVT. What a mistake. The cars electronics (radio/Bluetooth/seat heaters) are out of the early 90's. The radio has poor reception and sound quality was awful. The Bluetooth would randomly disconnect, whether using my iPhone or Android phone. The car developed a bunch of rattles. The ride was harsh and the road noise was unbearable. The front paint was flaking off. Most of the issues were well documented in service bulletins but no fixes identified. The AWD was not that good in snow. The back end would over drive and cause the back end to slide out. Traded in on another Mustang. What a mistake.

I am the original owner of a 2015 WRX. I have run synthetic oil and high octane gas in it since day one. This past Monday night, headed out on a business trip, the engine had a total failure. I lost all power and barely made it to the side of the road. The car has 100,00 miles on it and has been maintained. Under the wrong circumstances, this could have been more than engine failure, but lives could have been lost. I have owned the car for 4 years with 1 year left of financing. The repair estimate is $11,000. There is something wrong with this model and I would be very careful letting a loved one behind the wheel.

I have had my 2015 Subaru Premium manual version for over 62K miles since purchasing it new in October 2014. The cars handling and engine performance is outstanding, well above its price range. The direct injected twin scroll 2.0 liter turbocharged engine is a real winner. In both areas it well exceeds 30K sporty car expectations. Subaru's excellent all wheel drive system gives the driver an excellent four season vehicle. As of late 2015, Consumer reports likes the Subaru all wheel drive best of all tested wheel drive system in the snow. Subaru puts most of its money into the cars outstanding engine and drive train which I agree with. Cars interior is improved significantly over past edition. Audio quality with with mid level audio option is much improved. It is no longer a very sporty car with an econobox interior and fits with the cars price class overall. Exterior and interior paint can use additional improvement but Subaru customer service has provided outstanding help and remuneration on these problems. Subaru paid for a strut and air conditioner even though the car was out of warranty for those parts. In the case of the strut just over 36K. In the case of the air conditioner, last year when I reported the problem with my knowledge of manufacturer advisory to its dealers repair departments of higher than normal problems in that area leading to new air conditioner now being used in later WRXs.. If you any problems with the car that are not significantly your fault, my experience is that Subaru customer service will be fair and do its best to correct the problem and make you whole. No major personal expenses on the car yet. Gas mileage is somewhat below average for a sporty compact car with low 20s mph in mixed driving. However, car can be driven with pure premium or a mixture of premium and regular with an octane of at least 91 with no noticeable fall off in performance to me. I always use a top tier brand of gas so lots engine cleaners in the gas. In October, it will be six years of ownership and I have been very happy with it and Subaru's backing of its product.
