I drive the 2012 sedan and its great. Fuel consumption averages 8L/100. What bugs me is that it can be really noisy accellerating in a tinny way, not a low grunt.

Car drives well except keeps shutting down at lights and wont always restart.
Lack of after sales service is a problem.
Every time I phone for service they are too busy and will phone back. But they never do.
Is it any wonder that many buyers from Coffs shop elsewhere for their new and used vehicles.
I am a businessman and if staff are not doing their job I want to know about it.!

This car is good there are a few things I dislike though:
- With auto when changing gears there is a slight delay. Annoying when reversing on to a busy road and needing to accelerate quickly.
- Stereo is also very slow to power on and change "source" selection.
-Speedo is out by 6km. Told by Subaru it is legal and done purposely because the cruise control is not sensitive enough and has a 6km+\- variance.
- Cruise control as previous comment. Slightest dip in road will cause car to decrease or increase.

Awesome build quality, impressive technology and features list makes this a "no brainer" choice for our 2nd family car. Eyesight safety features, Android auto/carplay, auto stop/start, reliable boxer engine makes it a steal for the price if compared to competitors. Paid 29k driveaway at Suttons subaru and very happy with the purchase.
Fuel economy is 7.9-8.5 for normal weekdays to work "sydney traffic" commute.

Full sports model packed with Safety and compared to others in this price range 32Kto 40K was leaps and bounds ahead, Technology that works, Comfort and Style. Eye sight technology in cruise mode is sublime, the quite cocoon when on the highway leaves the rest behind road noise in the others we test drove before purchasing was significant in comparison.

Safety is a big issue for me. I was in an accident and my car was written off, but it remained safe around me. Except for whiplash, I walked away.unscathed. I wasted no time in buying a new Impreza to replace it. It has not missed a beat and it is now 4 years old. Can't imagine buying any other type of vehicle.

Full sports model Impreza has sports wheels. Love the technology including eyesight lane wander warnings and auto cruise control that adjusts speed according to traffic in front. Also love the blind spot traffic warnings in the side mirrors and reverse camera and auto start/stop. Drives great for a 2litre and has more than enough torque. Great leather interior and heated front seats. All in all a great sedan and very sporty looking also.

I find the steering to be quite light and precise. Road holding is good, but its no BMW. However, hold on the road is very good on wet or loose ground. Everything feels as if its good quality inside and nice and firm. Not a lot of road noise. Fuel economy is up to the driver really, I average about 9 liters per 100 kms. .Only point to be picky is it could have been given more power. Otherwise its a nice safe car.

Recently purchased this car after having a horrible experience with a 2013 model Ford Focus (Petrol Auto). Decided to go back to what I knew best, and that was the quality of the Japanese Automotive Industry. Have had this car for a total of 5 months now and have driven 6,000km. So far honestly cannot fault a single thing, an absolutely solid car that I know I can trust as it will take me wherever I need to be safely, hassle free and in absolute style for many more hundreds of thousands of kilometres! Love everything about my car and can't see myself with anything other then Subaru for a very long while!

Wiring burnt out by the dealership which wrecked the tumbler valve. Revs high uses a lot of petrol, dash rattles wheel trims slip and cut through the tyre valves Motor runs hot, hesitates and vehicle hops. A real nightmare and the dealers don't want to know, nor does Subaru.

Three of us each purchased an Impreza in the same month. None of us can use our Bluetooth sets whilst travelling at any speed. Given that I travel 3 hours everyday this has been a major issue. I've taken my car in four times to have this repaired - the most recent resulted in my entire sound system having no sound whatsoever - as they handed the key back to me assuring me that they had reset the software, tested it and it was definitely fixed. I have to go back in again now to have the stereo fixed as well as the Bluetooth. The car is brand new still. My friends continue to have their issues too. Outside of this - it's a good car, but regret that i didn't buy the Toyota.
Fuel consumption, feels safe
Bluetooth doesn't work, poor service

Bought last year working fine, pretty good with milage, 5.9 ltr/100 km on highway. Need to service 6 monthly, drove almost 11K in a year. Very good control on road, happy. Dealer service car without any issue on warranty repairs. Sound system is not very good, but has bluetooth.
Good control on road, all wheel drive, good milage, quick response.
Air noise on freeway, 6 monthly service.
