Subaru Impreza 1997-2016Change

This car has excellent control on every weather experience! The driving experience is so comfortable and we feel extremely safe! The appearance looks like a diamond! we bought the pearl white paint so pretty has sparkles thru out the car! Love the wheels just so very happy with our purchase we would recommend this car to all our friends and family!!

I drive occasionally and this is my favorite car to drive. really smooth, lots of power and ample leg room.

I love how it feels to drive my subaru. The only thing that bothers me is that it's not good on fuel consumption. Otherwise it's a nice car and I would recommend it.

Very Nice Subaru. Very happy with it! AWD and handling is amazing. Once you drive one of there you can't go back to a regular sedan. I also tried newer imprezas and for some reason the acceleration is not that impressive as the the older models. Boxer engine sounds great too!

Buy this car few weeks ago, no problem and its doesn't need much gas. 7.4L/100KM for now so i'm verry happy about it. Subaru reliability.

lots of life in this little car, and space too, but watch as it guzzles all your gas money. would do well to have the ability to turn off the all wheel drive from time to time, but not an option.

it handles well, it comfortable, and great for winter driving. I'm always happy driving it because I know I'm safe in it and it is so reliable.

It is such a high performance car! I never had any problems with it, and I'm happy I made this decision to buy the Impreza. 5/5 all around.

I love my Impreza, it has given me a pleasant experience. It's comfortable, reliable and good for fuel economy. The only thing I dislike is the radio and bluetooth system. Radio skips stations and bluetooth is very difficult to set up and use. Otherwise this car has great performance.

Very good car, the 2.5L gives you enough speed to accelerate quickly and pass people if needed. Very large amount of cargo room with the hatchback and overall the car is awesome.

Pros:
2.5L Boxer engine is very nice
AWD is very good in snow and rain
Looks good on the outside
Large amount of cargo space
Very reliable and parts are relatively cheap.

Cons:
Cheap looking interior with lots of plastic
Very poor sound system (I replaced the speakers and got a deck for around $500 and it's so much better now)
Fuel economy is poor but that's expected in a AWD car.

My car is currently at around 122,000KM and theres not much ive had to do to it except, change the brakes, change the tires, the usual oil changes and a front headlight.

My wife and I drove our 2010 Impreza 2.5i from Newfoundland to Ontario. Beautiful ride, comfortable and great fuel economy. It currently has 120,000 km on it. 2000 of which went on over the weekend driving from Toronto to Liverpool, Pennsylvania. I was surprised. We got 687 km out of the tank, driving at speeds over 160km uphill a lot of the journey, with a/c on. 1 tank of gas brought us in. And remember, it's AWD and 2.5l. I work with Toyota as a Automotive Technician. But I would recommend an Impreza over a Corolla any day. It rides like a Toyota Camry or Avalon, but performs like a sport car, due to the size of the coil springs and type of suspension. It is not as roomy as most cars, which is my only problem. So our next will possibly be a Forrester our Outback

Beautiful car. drove from Newfoundland to Toronto. Very Comfortable. Not bad on gas for a 2.5l All wheel drive vehicle.
Would recommend over Toyotas. As Subaru's base model, the ride quality is that of a Lexus. I've been a mechanic for over 15 years. And for so much cheaper, give me a Subaru and the change that would leave from buying the Lexus to do other stuff.
Interior styling is nice, but needs a little more room. I'm 6 feet 1 inch. Recommend to all who looking for a nice affordable car. Beautiful in the snow as well. My wife prefers it over the Corolla we had and nissan.

Had this car since 2012. Fuel economy is excellent. Usually turns around 6L/100km on the highway, but have seen 5.4. Amazing for a 4 wheel drive vehicle. All season tires are perfect for extreme winter driving, never felt the need to go to winter tires.
Handling is excellent, however ground clearance is very small. Beware. Would buy another.

awesome car with the legendary boxer engine. Handles like a dream and very easy to drive and park. Power windows, locks and mirrors. Comes with ac, tilt steering, a/c . cruise control and of course the roof rack for travelling.

I've had my hatchback for 5+ years. No buyers regret. Going to drive it into the ground.

The amazing:
Cargo room! got 2 bikes, few cases of beer, and bookshelf
AWD with winter tires saved my life a couple times
5 speed manual transmission are solid as a rock

The Good:
Reliable. I had a electrical problem with my front turn signals in year 2, got it fixed...otherwise no issues.
I like the look of my car
It's a comfortable cabin, soft bolstered seats.
The 2.5L boxer has enough power to do most things even light towing

The Bad:
Fuel economy, highway was decent 7L/100km, city driving though 11ish
Cabin materials, hard plastics everywhere
The entertainment system was underwhelming. I didn't get the NAV cause when I tested it was lo-res, laggy, and AWFUL

A excellent performance car, with an award winning all-wheel drive system what more can I ask for durning winter. Come summer I miss my RWD. The WRX STi is the perfect mix of street driving race car. Plenty of power around town but can be a pain using the stiff clutch in heavy traffic. Lots of space and comfort for 3 adult passengers (4 occupants total). Sound system is fantastic on the Sport-Tech package but needs the benefit of a tuned EQ setting or a new head unit to control the sound all-together once the sound is harnessed the speakers sing.

Dependable , reliable and fun to drive especially in winter.
I own the four door sedan 2.5i sport and think that the styling is so much nicer than the hatch. Never had any issues with the car in the three years that I've owned it.

Have had a great experience so far, nothing can stop this thing if you know how to handle a manual transmission. Very rewarding experience to have in S# and Track Mode to fell the full potential. The R&D shows in the engineering of the performance aspects of the vehicle that is where the car shines and majority of money was allotted to.

Purchased used one from Subaru and had drove for 10 years all-season daily owner. Excellent driving condition on summer and snow performance because it comes with rear-wheel locked differential (STi model after 2004 comes with hydraulic controlling). It changed me to become engineer because it made me figuring out how AWD and Subaru rally works. It was one of the best hobbies ever had before I purchased XV. I miss it sadly and MUST have it back!

I purchased this car new and have enjoyed it ever since. I was looking for something with 4 doors, all-wheel drive, and a manual transmission. Naturally, the Subaru won over its competition. The wagon's seats go down allowing for a lot of cargo space, the engine is more powerful than Civics or Corollas, and the All Wheel Drive system is extremely advantageous in Ontario. It is also a sporty drive, with a sharp manual shifter from STI and loads of grip in cornering and acceleration. The sport bucket seats taken from the WRX also hold you in on spirited drives. The brake system is also uprated. The larger engine and AWD system do come at a small price; fuel economy. You get more out of the car, but you have to put a little more in at the pump. In the end, I'm sure the driving enthusiast will decide this trade-off is worth it. (~10L per 100KM)

Excellent for Cdn Prairie winters especially with winter tires. Excellent handling and road feel with good steering feedback. Reliability has been very good and after 100k replaced valve cover gaskets, fuel cap, battery and tires plus regular maintenance. Interior is plain but all needed features are there including stability control. Seats are OK. Subies are noted for their excellent safety and crash test results. I have been very happy with this car and I note that re-sale value is also very good.

This has been a great car for me. With 305hp and it's rally pedigree it is the most driving fun you can have at this price range. The 5-door body also makes it far more practical than other sports cars. This car eats up the road will carry whatever you need to bring with you.

The Best Ride I have ever had!
Nothing I have ever driven compares yet.
Love this Car for everything I do. Work, Space, Play, Race.

great little car it ran great and got excellent fuel economy. it had a few problems like the clutch going and burning some oil but after 237000 km you can't complain about that. I used to be a ford man but this subaru was problem free.

I love this car to absolute bits! I wish I did not have to sell it but I need an SUV. This car has never been stuck during winter and is an absolute beauty! If I get a chance to get another sport car, I will absolutely go for another Subaru Impreza!!!
