2012 Subaru Impreza

I love my 2012 Subaru. I have had minimal work done on this car, and it remains so thus far. I will keep my Subaru and take care of it as my technician explains what, if any thing, needs taken care of.

Not a sedan

It’s a 2012 Subaru Impreza outback SUV. And I love it even though it’s kind of old. The hatchback won’t stay up and the cruise control doesn’t work. I like that is has an alarm system. I like the color, forest green. I also like the standard transmission. I like driving a stuck shift. It has 4 wheel drive, which is great.

Subaru Impreza, 2012

I purchased my Impreza in 2012. I love my car! Easy to drive in inclement weather. Repair costs are fair and 14-1/2 gallon gas tanks is a bonus for me. Subaru is rated highly for their safety features. I have had no major problem with my Impreza, and I recommend this car!!!

Rating the hatchback

I like the car. In fact, I chose a Subaru Impreza after careful research. Sometimes, though, I have been disappointed. The car seems to use a lot of oil. The front seat upholstery started to fall apart after about 60,000 miles. My mechanic did a major transmission overhaul at 107,000. This was for a one-owner car which has always had timely maintenance. I’ve had two Subarus. The first one I traded in early for the second one and therefore didn’t have the problems as above. Probably won’t buy another Subaru. My husband bought one on my recommendation. He has had similar problems—upholstery, oil usage. He adamantly will not buy another Subaru. Road noise is pretty bad.

I love my Impreza

I love my Impreza. I bought it used and it didn’t give me any problems for a year! It only started giving me slight trouble after an accident. I really like the look of the car and it’s all wheel drive cababilities.

I like my Impreza

Over all I like my 2012 Subaru Impreza. On rare occasions I have gotten 40mpg. It responds to a touch of the accelerator and is very agile.

Love

I love my Subaru. Very little driver maintenance needed. More comfortable ride with 17" wheels and has good cargo area.

LOVE my 2012 Subaru Impreza

I wasn't sure I liked my Impreza as much as my old 2003 Forester at first. But as time has gone on the Impreza has proven itself to be more reliable and has good gas mileage.
