I am buying a 2011 Impreza hatchback tomorrow it has 135000 miles. I test drove it and it felt tight, smooth and handled well.

good mix of feedback provided. We have 2 Subies in our family (2010 Forester - Manual, 2016 WRX - Manual). I used to have a 2016 Crosstrek and it was CVT. I wasn't a fan of the delay on acceleration. That really bothered me. The bluetooth issue is really a common complaint with these as well. Thanks for sharing.

My 2019 white Impreza Touring 5-dr hatch is DEAD quiet. Super quiet. And fun to drive. Quick. Reliable to date and amazing in the snow

Thanks for your thoughts! Yeah Subarus are Very noisy inside, specialy over 60 mph. But you can try to change those wheel bearings. My 13’ Impreza had 80k miles when i bought it and it was a lil noisy inside. I changed the bearings and it was a lot quiter then. Now i can talk normally on speaker-phone etc.

CVT ? They're fine. Just don't stress the car. Its really relaxing to drive.

I love my 2021 Impreza. Only thing I don’t like is the low ground clearance. I was scraping on snow and ice. Solved that by getting a 1” lift kit and bigger tires. Got 2” more than stock now.

I also don’t see the issue with CVTs. Haven’t found anything I dislike about it.

Just got one of these. Thanks for the good review.

Might be buying a base model 2013 manual hatch tomorrow. Its got the same milage as this one and is selling for 6k Canadian which seems too good to be true honestly. Hopefully its all good.

Engine braking does not consume more fuel. It actually uses less fuel than regular braking would. The engine does not consume any fuel when going down a hill if the throttle is closed

Put money down on a 2016 5dr 5 speed Impreza today. Im hoping to keep it a very long time

Im buying a 2015 tomorrow which i think is pretty similar to yours. The brakes seemed a little soft to the touch if that makes sense. They put it through inspection and said the brakes were practically new. Maybe im just more used to my 2013 malibu brakes?

Looking at a 2013 Impreza 2.0. Have you had any oil burning issues? I’ve read the 2012-2013 had some issues
