2018 Subaru Impreza - Subarus for life. My favorite so far.
I have been driving Subarus for over ten years, and they are by far my favorite vehicles. The 2018 Impreza has a very solid and sturdy build, yet the car is sporty and compact. It has all-wheel drive and handles winter weather really well. There is no need to change gears when you hit snow. I can drive it in the snow and on the ice without issues in AWD, and I always feel really safe in it. The front seats can heat up, which is great on a really cold morning when you are waiting for the heater to warm up the car. The heater also heats up really fast. I like the thermostat in the car. I wish the back seat had heat control. It is very stylish, especially for a wagon. The Apple CarPlay comes standard which is an incredible feature. CarPlay is like having an iPad on your dash.

All of my music syncs perfectly with my car, and I can easily take calls hands free. I can also reply to texts hands free with Siri and Siri can read my text messages to me. The cargo space is spacious for the smaller car size. I can fit three snowboards in the back with one of the seats down. I can also put racks on it for more storage. There are different upgrades and packages available. You can customize the interior. There are USB ports but unfortunately none in the back seat. The key and fob are all one device rather than a separate key and a fob.
Our first ski trip in the car was the most memorable trip so far! It got us up the mountain safely, and we were really comfortable while stuck in bad traffic on the way back from the mountain. The highway ended up closing due to a bad wreck, and we had to camp overnight. We stayed warm and comfortable!

Some of the best features are Apple CarPlay and the sound system. You can control the volume and Siri from the steering wheel as well. AWD is a great feature. More positives include the high-quality tires that come standard, the stylish interior, the cargo space, the safety features, and the size. It can fit in compact spaces and is easy to parallel park. USB ports in the front seat. The interior is really sleek, and the fabric does not heat up in the sun. Heated front seats. Heated windshield. The cargo space can fit outdoor gear.

The seats go down for more space in the back. The air bags and side air bags are super reliable. There are alerts for when cars get too close or start to pass you. It has an excellent crash test safety rating. The financing was easy, and the dealership offered a good payment. We got free ski passes with the car thanks to a promotion at the dealership. Great key fob and keyless entry. You can add racks to the top or a storage box for more cargo space. I get great gas mileage, and the car is not terrible for my carbon footprint. The car always smells fresh. It is easy to vacuum out. The all weather package is a cheap upgrade and it makes the interior more resistant to the elements like snow. Alarm system.
Sometimes there is not enough space for tons of luggage on a road trip, which can be a con. You can only fit one large dog in the back, not more than one. If you want to pack a lot of stuff in the car, you have to put the seats down, and then there is less room for seating. There is not a lot of leg room in the backseat. The headlights are not LED. There is not a two-wheel drive version. The car is sort of pricey. CarPlay is not Android compatible. You can only connect an iPhone to CarPlay. Sometimes CarPlay glitches and does not detect my iPhone when it is plugged in, and it won't sync wi... (more)

No heater adjustment options in the back seat. No heated seats in the back seat. Runs on gasoline and is not a hybrid.

We took this out to the beach in Bodega Bay one summer weekend and had a great time driving in the sand and playing on the beach.

Safety, compact but roomy, ability to haul all your sports equipment, easy to drive especially with all the large window views.

You won't beat the Corvettes off the line for speed, but it has plenty of pep to get anywhere.
