"I traded in my new 2011 Honda CRV for this 2008 Subaru Impreza sedan. I did not need a new vehicle with high payments. I lowered my payments $170.00 per month and took $7000.00 off of term of loan. I get 26 mpg in winter and 29 mpg in summer. Have had Subaru for 7 months now with no problems. Great in snow just like CRV was. A little harder to get in and out of vehicle than CRV. I have undercoated Subaru with Fluid film to protect from New England winters.I feel very safe in this Subaru and would buy again."

One of the Very Best Cars on the Road

By Da BULL (MO) on Tuesday, April 16, 2013

"Bought this car brand New. NEVER had a squeek, beltch, or burp out of it! Handles like a sports car on any road surface, wet, snow, ice, dry, or dirt. I've driven and owned a lot of cars in my 66 years old, and this one tops them all! Maybe because its ALL WHEEL DRIVE and a Quality Subaru vehicle?"

Fun to drive, but not for the city

By Chuckmiv (CA) on Monday, April 15, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 40,000

Pros: "Great in any weather. Fun. Sunroof, Hot Seats"

Cons: "Poor MPG for size. Uncomfortable seats."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 4

"I like the sound system. It's fun to drive in the mountains. If you take care of regular maintenance I'm sure it would be great, & I have never missed an oil change, but some other thing slipped. However, despite my lack of care the car have given me few mechanical problems. Also If you have halfway decent tires you'll never loose control. I think the car is uncomfortable to sit in for long periods of time. I don't like the mpg (avg. 24-25 city/hwy, but on open highways like from LA to Vegas you can get 28 mpg). At the end of the day. If you're looking for a fun, rugged car & you don't live in a city. this car is for you. As for me my next car will be electric."

Fun factor

By Leclerc (NY) on Tuesday, March 05, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 22,000

Pros: "Exhilarating to drive."

Cons: "Fuel economy, radio, cheap interior"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 7

"Blast to drive, expected Subaru reliability. Extremely dissapointed in interior fit and finish. Too many rattles when cold and even worse is this god awful stock radio...I have had better sound coming from and old transitor. Come on Subaru, put a few extra bucks into a "decent" stock radio...Toyota does, even Honda."

Hatchback Imprezza

"I bought this car slightly used in 2009 for a great price. I had a Legacy GT before this one, and had to replace the turbo multiple times, even though I changed the oil every 3K miles and used Premium fuel. The Imprezza may lack the kickass fun to drive of the GT, but it well made up for it in reliability and gas mileage. It's also a lot of fun to zip passed all the stuck cars in the snow! This baby is un-stoppable. The only I would have changed are better bucket seats with lumbar support, and a better radio. I swapped out the original with an after market with Sirrius, and I like it much better."
