This is a terrific car for someone who wants a reliable,

This is a terrific car for someone who wants a reliable, economical car that's great in snow and ice, and gets excellent gas milage. To help maximize your mpg just watch the dashboard meter that tells you when you're getting the best mpg possible. If you're not (like the reviewer who said he got only 18 mpg) then you're driving too fast and you can't blame the car for that! I love my Subaru!

Terrible gas mileage

This model is supposed to get 27-32 mpg. It gets 18 mpg, which is terrible for this type of car, especially with the CVT transmission. Otherwise it's exactly what I wanted.

Reliable 4 banger

Cheap, reliable, comfy, low maintenance. These cars from my experience will last you a lifetime. You should consider one and you won’t regret it. I’ve owned server all Subarus in the past and they all have been amazing to me

It was the only choice for what I wanted

The Impreza Sport Limited Hatchback has the interior space I wanted, the AWD I need, the good MPG I like and it looks good. The car is peppier than you'd think. The radio is OK, but you'd think it would be better for the limited. The only things that are an issue is that it burns 1 qt oil about every 1.5K miles. The other is the check engine light comes on freq and cuts out the cruise. I have a work around but have taken it to mechanics who all come up with something different as to why I'm getting the error code of P0420. Supposedly this indicated that the Cat is not working properly. These guys can't agree. I'm not just going to throw parts at it and HOPE it works. The car drives great for something that supposedly has a bed Cat. Other than that I'm happy with the car. I even got all sappy and got a personalized Front plate that reads "My Rubie Subie" (car is maroon colored).

Superb all wheel drive.

Great legroom. Peppy. All wheel drive is amazing. Does not have a water temperature guage instead has a temperature light. My only critical note. Handles great. For a smallish 4 cyl its pretty quick.

It feels and drives brand new!

While I drive 35-40,000 miles a year, I thought it only made sense to look for a high mileage import and drive it to 200,000 miles. What I found was a newer model year, much lower mileage car with all wheel drive that was in the same price range! I’ll drive this for 5-6 years!

The car has been great so far.

The car is great in gas milage that's why I purchased it. it's all wheel drive and it's reliable. I have not spent money on this car except for oil change.

A great all year car!

I love this car I haven’t had any problems yet so I like it. It’s been great in the snow and shine even with lower grade tires.
