I bought this impreza top of range in January 2018, now it is the time to put my review with about 20K driven.
It is a well design car easy to handle, only with minor things to improve such as the GPS does not have live camera detection. But overall, I recommend this car if you consider to buy one. My buying experience with the dealer was so bad, the sales person was too aggressive and not polite, but the services department is good and helpful.

I use my Subaru Impreza for a daily commute of about 50km. The adaptive cruise control makes driving in traffic a breeze, with the car braking and accelerating for me. It is a very comfortable ride and is very efficient for a 2.0L engine. The car has a yearly service schedule completed by Subaru, and has had no issues to date.

Love my Impreza not only does it have all the bells and whistles like sat nav, sunroof, reverse camera, heated leather seats, bluetooth plus lots more it drives like a dream. I feel really safe on the road with the all wheel drive and ABS brakes. Truly the best car I have owned.

For the price range it is an awesome car. This car is competing with likes of Corolla, Golf and i30.
The Good: It has great build quality and interior feeling. very spacious. lots of space for back seats. full of safety features. great seats. has 3 screens that show all information you like. drives well. high visibility.
The not so good: A bit expensive. the AWD is probably not necessary for Brisbane, but you are paying for it anyway. Aircon is not the quickest to cool down cabin on a sunny day.

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.

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.

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.

drives beautifully
handles great best car i have driven
cvt auto is great i dont know why it gets a bad rap
quality build and very well priced vehicle
all wheel drive is an added bonus on all the other cars in this segment
luxurious interior and eye sight technology is impresive

Great mid size car. Lots of extras. Awesome safety features. Not the cheapest running costs but highly competitive. Amazing legroom in back and front seats. Runs quietly and smoothly. Cool headlights that turn as the car does. A fantastic choice if you’re looking for a medium size car with some fun extras.

I decided to upgrade my current car (2001 Toyota camry conquest). I initially had some thoughts about a mass of cars. After reading product reviews on some cars I got to finally choose 3. Imprezza was 1 of them.

To me, I needed a car I could take long distance driving and also get around town. So far I have played with it just on a week or so.

I really like eyesight and maps and the flashy leather trim. My only concern is the fuel economy, which is nearly half empty.

I was reading it will level off past 1000 km mark. For now I will watch and learn

Firstly I find motoring reviews about its lack of power to be untrue. This car has guts to overtake when required. Layout is fantastic when you finally set up the info on the dash. Stacks of room, back front and hatch. My bugbear is the passenger seat height which can create a problem on exit. Far too low with no seat adjustment. They say Suburu buyers are very loyal to the brand and my partner's choice to update to the Impreza from her Liberty was a very wise move.
