This is a great car that comes with many features. The all wheel drive is unique in a car of this size. Additionally the wagon feature allows for a lot of extra space for transporting large things. It features a sunroof, Bluetooth, and cupholders. It has great pickup and control compared to other vehicles I have owned. Unfortunately the interior has not held up well since purchase. There is a lot of damage to the plastic details like scratches and places where the paint has rubbed off. The latch on the center console has broken and flaps around and the wear on the boot of the emergency brake shows the cars age. Additionally the Bluetooth is unreliable and will disconnect randomly during use. Although all wheel drive is great to have during snowy conditions it significantly effects the fuel efficiency. The engine is quite loud which my husband likes but others might see as a con. It also feels quite bumpy on the road compared to our Honda civic. Altogether the car has been a great purchase, has been reliable and has had no mechanical issues despite its age. The only thing we have had to replace is the windshield wipers.

The Subaru Impreza is a great car. I have had almost no issues it is at about 40,000 miles right now. It is fantastic in bad weather; the AWD is wonderful for those slippery, wet, snow conditions. It is easy to maintain and I just follow the maintenance manual. It has many features which I really appreciate: heated seats, Bluetooth, and a roof rack. Although the extra features aren't necessary, they do make the car so much more comfortable. I was in an accident in my Subaru (another car ran a red light). The car hit my car right in the passenger side door and I spun around and did a 180. Neither myself or my passenger were injured. I attribute that to the Subaru's high quality. It makes travel much more comfortable. It is great on gas, especially on the highway. Though, city mileage could be a bit better. It is a very attractive looking car, it gets me compliments all the time. It is a reliable car and has never left me broken down on the highway. This car might seem small but I have the wagon and it is very spacious and always fits all my gear for trips or groceries.
