Fun car to drive

I have Eyesight technology. I don't know how I drove without it before. The car handles beautifully. I love the hatchback: it fits my bike and it fits my gardening stuff I haul.

Best commuting car

This is my second Impreza, I still have the first, a 2012. You can't beat this car for driving in bad weather, the rides been improved, it's quieter, and they've even made the appearance better.

Early days but I love it so far.

I had 4 or 5 models that I was interested in and drove three of them before viewing and test driving the Subaru Impreza. The Impreza was not even on my radar until I was forced to continue my search after driving the Kia Niro, Toyota C-HR and Corolla. One test drive and I knew I was in a superior machine.

1st Subaru owned

The vehicle rides like a Cadillac and drives flawlessly. The safety features are superb and makes us feel really safe on the road. The interior is awesome and the instrument panel is really easy to read and use. Truly glad we bought it!!

Love my new Impreza

Love the pep this car has. All wheel drive is a great safety feature as is the backup camera. Rear compartment is roomy enough for my service dog to enjoy the ride .

Most comfortable I've driven in a long time

I wanted an All Wheel Drive for security in inclement weather. While I've only had the car a few days, I love the way it handles curves and hills. It has great pick up at the touch of the gas pedal. It reacts favorably, when acceleration is needed, giving me confidence that it will handle equally as well in unfavorable driving conditions in heavy rain or snow conditions. The car has hands free blue tooth and the programming setup is all screen touch for each of the functions needed.

So far, so good.

I've had this car for a few weeks and I like it so far. It handles well and is fun to drive. The gas mileage is great (around 30 mpg) and I like the awd function.

This car makes driving fun!

We can hardly believe we got such a great car at a price we could afford. It's so quiet, and everything works perfectly. We're happy to have the manual transmission option and I can instantly see how much load the engine is carrying - hence, our gas consumption. Since our last car was a 1998, experiencing the new technology available here is quite delightfully stimulating...back-up camera! Awesome sound system! And cruise control is really fun! The clock is super easy to set. All wheel drive was a big selling factor for us regarding safety here in the rural north-east where roads can become a sheet of ice. I've seen, first hand, our old front wheel drive car sliding uncontrollably all over an icy road, while the all wheel drive I was following in, clung easily like it was a dry road. We chose the Crosstrek over the Impreza for the added height from the pavement, because of our deep snow and very bumpy rural roads. Our Crosstrek rides smoothly whether they're bumpy or not. We do a lot when we go to town and are so pleased that it has the capacity to carry the heaps of groceries, musical instruments and supplies we need to pile in. And there is the possibility of strapping lumber on the roof racks. This is like a mini truck (if we need it), and a luxury car combined. The new car warranty is a comfort. It's so stressful to have to worry about breaking down. And this may seem minor, but the lovely blue color it came in is exceptionally pleasing to me. I absolutely LOVE driving this car! (Haven't given my husband many turns.) It's very responsive, and I think handles like a sports car.
