Original equipment tires wore out at 20,000 miles. Replacement Uniroyal Tiger Paws went 42000 more miles. Was unable to meet factory specs for wheel alignment. Despite that replacement set of tires wore evenly. If you purchase a new Subaru require that dealership align and show you results are at factory specs before taking delivery. The radio controls are difficult to use. touch screen is insensitive in cold weather. Radio knobs taper away from you so are difficult to grasp. Overall electronics are way overly complicated.
Handling is very good. I like the CVT trans. It matches the power curve of the engine. Very secure car at highway speeds. Great traction in wet/snow. Zero mechanical problems. Great carrying capacity. I am at 62000 miles and will keep the car for several more years. Remarkable fuel mileage of 34.5 MPG overall.
I first owned a 2013 impreza. I totaled it at 103,500 miles and bought a 2018 impreza with 7800 miles. You would think after 5 years Subaru would get their bluetooth connectivity issues fixed. But obviously not. I'm playing music in my car get out of my car with it still running, get back in my car put it in reverse and my phone randomly disconnects and will not reconnect until I restart the car. And heaven forbid you take your seat belt off a split second before you put it in park because it will beep like crazy even after it's in park! So stupid! I feel like my 2013 impreza was a little quicker as well. My 2013 had all the recall/lawsuit problems so hopefully the 2018 is better build quality . Other then those small problems it's been a great car and I like it.
I visited Carsplus on Good Friday this year, 2017. The staff let me drive several different cars that I was interested in and let me make my decision with no pressure whatsoever. As I was paying cash for the car, I received a better purchase price than the listed one and Mitchell and Barry could not be more helpful. The car was used and sold without a warranty as many are. However, later that week, I heard a sound around the dash. David took care of the problem for me, gave me a loner while the car was being repaired, and even took my car to the repair shop and picked back up the loaner while I was working. In this day and age, the consumer does not always feel good about purchases. I cannot say that about my experience with Carsplus. They get a superior rating from me. I would strongly recommend anyone to browse their vehicles and purchase there.

This car is great even In the standard model. Fit my family great with a decent amount of room. It has enough truck space to fit all my work stuff and school stuff at the same time.
This was the first car I bought for my self. I did not put many miles on it but I loved driving it and it was very functional. I did end up having two issues, one being the head gaskets and the other was the drive shaft which failed at the end of my ownership. I owned it for 8 years but it was 12 years old at the end. Its a practical car that will get you from A-B and will last if you take car of the maintenance.
Let me say this used car dealer is the real deal. Eric H helped me from start to finish and took videos of the corvette stingray so my drive from Louisiana wouldn't be for nothing. They gave me a good price for my trade and stayed true to that price once I got to dealership. Not telling me the car wasn't worth the money they offered me unlike some places do once they get you there. Thanks for staying true to your word. The corvette stingray was in excellent shape like Eric H said it was and it was a dream to drive back home to Louisiana..... got many compliments on the car on the drive home. Stopped at the corvette plant and museum and enjoyed showing the corvette stingray off! These guys also turned us on to some really good food not far from the dealership.... thanks to all that helped with getting us back on the road and thanks for the two t-shirts you gave us. We loved them too. Thanks

This car was more than I expected. Excellent Car, style, performance, gas mileage, just an all around comfort car. Beautiful looking car, I wanted a ALL Wheel Drive Vehicle and the Subrau is the choice for me.
