Like all Subarus, this car is built to last. My family has owned several Subarus over the years, and they have always been extremely reliable. The 2011 Impreza is no different. Aside from its durability, one of its main selling points is the all-wheel-drive feature which is fantastic when you live in an area with icy and snowy winter conditions (as I do). The handling and acceleration are smooth, which makes it fun to drive. There are also a number of ways to adjust the driver's seat, so that it can accommodate both a 5-foot tall person like myself, or a 6-foot tall person like my partner. The passenger seats are comfortable as well. The hatchback model provides ample trunk space, as well as a retractable cover. I can usually fit a large load of groceries in the trunk without having to put anything in the backseat. I also like that you can link your smartphone to hands-free controls on the steering wheel via Bluetooth. The 2011 Impreza hatchback model gets about 22 mpg (combined city/highway), which is about average for Subaru models in general. I really like this car, and have definitely recommended it to family and friends.

The Subaru Impreza is a solid, well-built vehicle built for a small family. It offers comfortable seating and great steering. All-wheel drive is standard performing well in snow. The rear view camera is bright providing a clear picture and wide enough angle to see well. The standard sound system is adequate, though, at best. The console is slow and somewhat tedious. Wi-fi, broadband and other audio features are standard. The overall appearance of the Impreza is pleasing if not somewhat unspectacular.
