Reliable and fun to drive

Bought one in 2010 with 32k miles on it. Head gasket failed at 110k. Thwy are known for this failure. $1000 repair including timing belt and water pump. Used an after market gasket. Car continued another 124k miles with regular service/oil changes/tires/brakes. Best car ever. Would still have it if it hadn't been rear ended and totaled on the highway. Car saved my life.

It’s been a good car for 15 years, some repairs

It’s been a good car, good on gas. Very dependable. Problems with a gas tank recall, took a while to sort out. Excellent in snow.

2011-2020, 70k-250k+ miles Still going..

I have had this car for 9 of it's 14 years, 180k of its 250k + miles, through several house changes (fits a loveseat with the rear door closed), And towed U-haul trailers and 3 kids from toddler age through now teenager. For the last 50k it has leaked some oil, but that's been about it. For New England, It's about the best value you could get at its age, and only now getting ready to trade it in for a newer model of the same vehicle.

Best all around car i’ve owned

The AWD is incredible in winter condition, when taken good care the car is by far the best. Can interchange so must with the other model such as the Impreza. Put a WRX suspension and STi headers sounds goood

I liked my Nissan Sentra better!

Pro's, Handles great during inclement weather! It's a very roomy car and it was extremely easy to maneuver on the road and it's great on gas! Con's It doesn't give you warning signs if the engine is failing! Not very sound proof with re: to windows and last VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX!

Very Reliable SUV. Handles well. Plenty of room.

This SUV has been dependable. Great getting around in snow on hilly, curvy Tennessee roads. Handles well and comfortable. Plenty of storage space. Great SUV!

Average running vehicle

Once I fixed the problems from the dealer it runs fine. There are known problems of leaking head gaskets and and rusting Brake mountings. Otherwise appearance is good and ride is fair.
