Such a nice car to drive, handling is great, seats are comfortable, very spacious for a small car

published

We have owned the car for around 1.5yrs and have loved it. Roof racks are very handy however we can even fit our stand up paddle boards inside the car.



Very spacious for a small car. Great handling, through the steering wheel you can tell the quality put into manufacturing this car.

Solid, if underwhelming.

published

This car has been typically reliable, and has strong safety credentials for its time. The interior is a little 'plasticy' but still functional and durable. However, performance-wise it can feel quite lethargic. A 92kw engine coupled to a 4-speed auto and the added weight of AWD will do that. So, you should get a manual version if possible.

Exceptional value car

published

We purchased new this 2018 i-S hatch in June.
It replaced 3 y.o. Mazda3 GT
It is quieter and better than the 3 in every regard.
Not much slower or thirstier than the 2.5 either.

It's funky design, ultra high resolution graphics screens continue to wow.
Outward vision is exceptional
Super plush ride soaks all the bumps, but still corners like it is on rails!
Looks way more expensive in and out than it is.
No issues, would recommend it and Subaru generally.

Safety and performance

published

I bought the 2017 Impreza, top of the range sports, after my own vehicle was written off. As my first new car purchase i was nervous about depreciation and a new car loan. Safety was one of my highest corners after experiencing what happens when you are in a car accident. Subaru is a brand that the car wrecker suggested when towing away my old vehicle- he said they never have broken down subarus- they just keep going. Well, since I've got my Impreza I have driven through storms, floods, heat waves and other difficult driving conditions, Subaru is built to handle roads whilst providing passenger and driver comfort and safety. I have 100% confidence in my vehicle and highly recommend others consider buying one.

Great car.

published

Very cheap on fuel, a full tank lasts me an entire week and I drive quite a lot. Good looking car, very sporty & easy to drive. Pretty decent size boot for a small car. And has perfectly fitted my grand daughters two car seats inside while we travelled to the zoo.

Great safe Vehicle

published

My daughter owned this late 2007 Subaru Impreza Hatch, each time I used the car I would indicate to my wife the great safe feel, while this car is slightly heavier on fuel, it is a Worthwhile purchase, we have become the new owners and loving it, Subaru has made huge inroads, focusing on Safety and handling... I am so tempted to purchase a New Forester which my daughter just acquired

"Very happy/ With many thanks"

published

Early days, however very happy with the way this car handles the road, a very smooth/safe drive, with full marks 10/10 for all the safety feathers. Lovely comfortable warm leather seats and plenty of leg room with a very attractive, tasteful interior, a nice easy to follow dashboard, well designed. A very reliable small car 9/10.

Can’t fault it

published

Bought 2007 model brand new and was written off 2018. Very sad because replacing it is not easy. Only issue I had was the alternator went at about 7yes old and I probably had about 3-4 batteries in that time. Transmission was a little gutless but you could take a roundabout without thinking, wheel in each corner and sticks like glue to the road. No issues engine wise at all serviced every 6-8 months, had timing belt done at 110000km was a Little pricy $1200+ from memory. Great in the city enough grunt on the freeway I’m reluctant to get anything else

Amazing car, almost perfect.

published

I’ve got to say, this car has everything going for it! The drive is so smooth, the car is flooded with technology & the sound system is brilliant. I chose my 2017 Impreza i-S 2.0 litre based on how great the interior looked, but what I got was even better - the AWD is out of this world! I definitely recommend. The only issues I’ve had is with the infotainment system. The first 6 months it was full of glitches, however that seems to have fixed itself after a few updates.

Safest car

published

I like the eyesight feature so much that I don’t feel safe driving other cars. Eyesight feature makes you feel safer. Although it does overreact sometimes if you are deliberately too close to Car in front, but it is for your safety. Cage construction in the body and heaps or airbags. Cruise control works with eyesight and it’s awesome.

Lemon of a car.

published

I have had absolutely nothing but trouble with my Subaru Impreza from the date of purchase. I bought it brand new from the dealership and within the first two years had over $5000 worth of issues with it which they insisted were not covered under warranty, even though 1 was a recall? The electrics of the vehicle have been an issue since the day of purchase but they always claim they cant find anything wrong with it? I have gone through 16 headlights in the space of six months - this is not normal Subaru! Won't be buying another vehicle like this again.

What a beauty

published

All Imprezas also have a system called Vehicle Dynamics Control that brakes the inside front wheel (17-inch alloys on 205/50 Bridgestone tyres on the 2.0i-L) to improve turn-in. Indeed, the Impreza tucks in with alacrity, something the old model never did.The stiffer chassis, fettled suspension and revised AWD system make the new Impreza a pretty good drive for the segment. The springs are quite soft, giving the car a loping ride that eats up bad roads, but the dampers help the body recover swiftly after hits.

An Amazing Car!

published

Purchased about 15 months ago and been loving it ever since! Handles superbly on the road, even on winding or wet roads...it feels really safe! Love the feature which stops you from rolling back on a hill start! It has a powerful 2L engine but is still fuel efficient. Heaps of cabin space and very reliable.

Best car I drive ever

published

Nice steering wheel,multiple function on it. Exceptional handling experience.It has AWD,you do not need to worry about it’s safety issue,even on the wet road.It also equips Eye-Sight tech,which monitor road situation,preventing crash and enabling drive to take action before the accident.Regarding cabin space, It is like an SUV, back seat passagers have enough leg rooms.In terms of dashboard, it has two screens,top one shows basic info,such as temperature,date and fuel consumption.And the bottom one have more functions,such as media,map and apple carplay.Impreza only has its service either 12500km or 1 year, and has capped service cost.

A Perfect Car

published

I just love my Impreza. If I do not drive it for a day, I miss it. Very easy to drive and handle. Bought this car nearly 10 months ago after reviewing other options. It ticked my options of getting a powerful car which is cost efficient. The AWD option makes it look like a heavy car from outside but its very easier to drive.

Impreza G3 (2008-2011)

I am looking at purchasing a first car for my son. I have seen a Subaru impreza RS 2008 for sale for $6,000. It has done 166,000 odd K's. I have heard many conflicting reviews on the car. Is there something to watch out for in particular. Any main mechanical problems? People who have them what petrol do you use and what K's/100 do you get?
