Finally purchased my dream car, a 2015 WRX CVT Premium in August 2016. Unfortunately I didn't have a great experience with the vehicle and traded it in on another car in the end.

To give you some background, I did buy it second hand, however the car had previously had one fussy owner, low kms and was bought through a dealership in the country that I had previously had good experiences with.

Reliability Issues:
For 12 months the car was fine, until September 2017, when my husband noticed it was leaking oil. I took it to my local truste...Read more

From the initial test drive at the showroom to the waiting for my car to his Oz shores & road I have enjoyed the experience of buying this vehicle. The Subaru Premium WRX has every bell and whistle you can imagine, standard. I opted for the WRX rather than WRX STi because I didn't feel that I needed the extra performance, nor would I use it properly. It's not great on fuel economy but really, who cares?! It's fun to drive and looks beautiful. The service has been great too, literally at the service centre, the crew are friendly & professio...Read more

Good performance. Poor Service from Subaru Australia and the dealership Subaru Toowong. It is just not worth the pain. The car is just under two years old, but I have been taking it back constantly to get issues fixed (security system, Informant Unit, Sat Nav, leaking transmission, ...the list goes on). Have had couple of meetings with Dealer in Principle of Subaru Toowong - his stand is - "We cannot afford to be considerate towards customers inconvenience". Service station keeps blaming Subaru Australia and Subaru Australia customer services s...Read more

I have owned many Japanese vehicles most being Honda's and Subaru's. I decided to go back to Subaru after wanting something with more power. At the time of this review my Subaru has done 65,000ks and is regularly serviced at all intervals by Subaru only.

Overall its a good car, is fun to drive but has not been without its faults and flaws. Understandably, To package a AWD performance vehicle for under 50K is quite a feat, but you can see the money is mostly put into the drive train and not into all aspects of the car as I will explain below...Read more

IF not for the fun factor, I would have given this a straight 1 star.. This is the car to get if you want something fun and relatively affordable. It's a great handling car as well. it has great fuel economy as well, which is unusual for a WRX.

Other than these.. my smile ends. My car was plagued with so many issues that I dont know where to start.. maybe I'll start with cosmetic issues and moving up to the grand finale..
1. Front speaker panel keep popping... took Subaru 1 year and 5 complaints to fix it.
2. Very high front seats wear...Read more
