What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2012 Subaru Impreza generally appreciate its reliability, safety, and fuel efficiency. Many drivers enjoy the car's handling and performance, especially in various weather conditions due to its all-wheel drive. Some reviewers noted concerns about the transmission on high-mileage models and the less-than-intuitive electronics, but these did not seem to overshadow the many positives."
I think the car features are functional and practical for everyday driving. It's also, sports hatchback to add a little fun 😊
October 5, 2026Excellent vehicle its more that what i expected super great price ,i just love it everyone should get one and its great on gas .A++++
May 9, 2020Reliable. Good function and performance. Step up from 2WD economy vehicles of same class. Hatchback to cargo area with fold down seats make loading and unloading easy. Great handling on country roads and wet weather. I hope this car lasts like my other Subaru models, which have 135K to 235K miles.

April 15, 2014I HAD to buy a 4WD to get up our hill. Sadly had to get rid of my Mustang. Bought the Impreza because it wasn't as "boxy" as the other small SUVs. Since it was based on the car it was zippy, cornered good, and was fun to drive. Some of the other SUVs were just so boxy and boring! Had it for 2 years now and we love it. In fact, my wife took it over because she loves it so much. Amazing what you can fit in it. It's not as big as the SUVs, but you can put the seats down and get a lot in there. We have had four people and luggage/coolers in the car for long weekend several times with no issues. The AWD goes anywhere. The AWD actually helps the cornering and it is fun but still practical. Subaru needs help with the electronics but they are ok (not great, but ok). My wife has her ipod connected and loves the touch screen, but otherwise the controls are not the most intuitive. Gas mileage changes by .3 (Why?) so your mileage (on the dash) is ALWAYS divisible by 3. (who thought of that?) Could not get a stick unless you get a WRX model or real basic model :-( Had to get the CVT but at least the paddle shifters help.
May 14, 2014Good reliable car. Great handling and safety features.
April 10, 2022Transmission and center diff is an issue on high mileage cars. Besides trans issues, impreza is a dependable car.
March 23, 2022Good Value for the cost of the vehicle. Very stable - no rattles. Like 4 wheel drive in snow.
