| 2012 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
Once upon a time I wrecked a Subaru. I managed to survive an otherwise mortal crash. On top of that my family has driven the lugnuts off of subarus with hardly a problem mechanically. full 2012 Subaru Impreza review |

Owned Impreza and had various issues from the start. Leaking under rain (had to replace seals in firewall), rattling, creaking due to missing screws, improperly installed insulation and etc, poor engine response. full 2008 Subaru Impreza review |
