I own a 2012 Subaru Impreza Sport Premium. I have had absolutely zero issues with this vehicle in my first 45,000 miles. It handles PA winters like a dream. When most cars are struggling to get around I can take my Sub up the steepest hills with little to no issue. Gas mileage has been great overall. 2012 Was the first year of the Impreza redesign and it has been raved about by consumers and professional reviewers alike. I had to wait several months for mine just because it was so in demand when I bought it! You wont regret this purchase.

I have the 2012 five-door Impreza, the hatchback. I'm pretty pleased with it overall. Even though it is compact, it seems spacious on the inside. There is a lot of foot space in both the front and back seats, and there is a lot of cargo space. Handling is pretty good as well. It feels pretty zippy and sporty. Being lower to the ground, I feel a lot of the car. I got the car because of the AWD, and I think it performs well in the snow. It certainly beats the Camry (my previous car,) in snow and ice. The fuel economy is not amazing, but that is to be expected because of the AWD. I drive pretty extensively for work, and it has already got more than 100k miles on it. So far, knock on wood, there hasn't been any major problems. My next purchase will probably be the Crosstrek though; it is basically an Impreza with a higher suspension.
