I bought this car eight years ago and it has been very reliable and fun vehicle. I haven't had to repair anything other than routine type of maintenance such as replacing lights, tires, battery, oil change etc. I also had to replace the windshield, but this was covered by the warranty so all it cost me was time. Also, the CD player jammed and doesn't work anymore, but that's not a huge big problem because the radio still works well. I also enjoy driving it a lot still. It isn't that fast, but it corners really well and is pretty unbeatable in bad weather. Once I drove over 100 miles in "Texas blizzard" conditions without a problem. I would say probably the biggest disadvantage is the gas mileage isn't great. They claim that it gets 22/29, and this is probably pretty accurate, which isn't very good mileage for a fairly small car with a non-turbo 2.5 Liter 173 horsepower engine. I would also say the car is comfortable and everything is going well with the car eight years later.

I purchased the car brand new in 2009. The car looks nice and has been reliable. I now have 122,000 miles on the car and it still feels solid. I have actually be in 2 accidents with the car. Both times no one was hurt but major repairs needed to occur. I feel like the car was very safe in both accidents.

We purchased our 2013 Subaru Impreza when it was three years old. The previous owners took immaculate care of it, and it looked nearly new. There are so many things I love about this car. We live in New England, and it has been rock solid in winter driving conditions. I have an hour-long commute, and was able to reliably make it in to work in a variety of conditions. Our driveway is very steep with a sharp curve, and unless the snow is deep, it manages it handily. It is also extremely safe. We were in a fender bender one week after buying the car, and my son and I sustained no injuries. The car held up quite well too, requiring only minor body work. We have a hatchback, which is a great compromise between a station wagon and a sedan. It fits a very good amount of things in the back, and there’s some flexibility to make adjustments to fit even more. I also admit that I like that it’s a pretty cool looking vehicle. It’s sporty enough that I don’t feel like a soccer mom, which is nice. My husband is a former WRX owner and likes that it still feels sporty to drive. We are extremely satisfied with this purchase.
