2010 Subaru Impreza Reviews

So far my car has given me no troubles. Subaru's tend to consume more oil than other car models so once a week I check it and top it off. As for performance the non-turbo engine variants are a little sluggish due to the full time all wheel drive. As far as handling the car is a dream and the brakes are great. The 5-speed manual transmission can be slightly mushy, but that is to be expected in Subarus. The car has premium sound, heated front seats, hill-start assist control, a/c, power windows, locks, and mirrors and a moonroof. Overall after 170,000 miles I am pleased to own and drive this car.

I love this car. It does not have a ton of crazy gadgets but is simple and that is why I love it. Heated cloth seats, sunroof, and inside gas pump door release. The back seats can fold down for a large area behind the passenger and driver seat. The car sits low but the seats are quite comfortable. They are not adjusted by buttons they must be manually adjusted moving forward and backward. There is a lot of storage room in the front row of seating such as the compartment under the radio, the glove compartment, and the door compartments. My specific car is a burnt orange with light tan cloth interior and it is beautiful. Above the radio system is a digital system showing the time and the outside temperature which is simple but so helpful in everyday life. This specific years model has great looking tail lights making the car look sporty and flashy. It is a great, simple, and reliable vehicle. The oil is simple to change yourself, having the filter sit straight up and in an easily maneuverable area. The headlights are simple to change and under the hood it is clean and simple. This car is fantastic and who doesn't love a Subaru.

Purchased our 2010 Subaru Impreza as a used vehicle in 2011. We went with Subaru for their reliability. Someone we know had over 200,000 miles on their Subaru legacy. We also wanted a hatchback. We went with the Impreza since it was on the lower end of pricing. Since then we've had to replace quite a few parts. Power steering pump (2 in the same year), sway bars, and front axle to name a few. We also continually get water in the rear tail lights. We would probably stick with Subaru for our next car but we would buy new and maybe a higher end model. Comfort wise the car is great. The only thing I wish is that the front passenger seat would adjust up and down like the driver side. This is an older car so it does not have a ton of modern features. Though we really love the sports package that has defrosters almost everywhere. The car has been pretty reliable. We've never been stranded before. Even when major things go wrong we can usually get the car to the shop before anything major happens.

I love how sporty and versatile it is, and I really use it for everything. If I purchased this vehicle over again the only difference is that I would get leather seating because the microfiber is an awful hair magnet and I have 4 dogs and constantly transport other furry pets too. Does awesome on road trips, but my 6'5 boyfriend could do with some more leg room during longer trips. I have roof racks for hauling outdoor equipment like kayaks or camping gear. The seats fold down and I have actually used this to move some small furniture items and much more. The AWD is perfect for off-roading and inclement weather and I have never been stranded in this vehicle. I am only 5' and this vehicle has the best visibility for me because of it is large windows and highly adjustable seat. Very low maintenance until around 100,000 miles which will take quite a while if you buy it new. I have had mine for 3 years and put over 50,000 miles on it because I love to travel and commute 20 min each way to work. Overall a great buy, especially for a first vehicle because of it is reliability and safety features.

I love my Subaru! I especially love that it is all wheel drive, and handles well in the snow. I love the hatchback. It makes it easy to load a lot of things. This car is on the smaller side, but it is easy to parallel park and squeeze in places. Some of the cons are that the plastic in the front is kind of flimsy, and the plastic panels underneath the car do not hold very well. I do wish the car was higher for off roading, but that is just my lifestyle preference.

Some of the things I love about my car include the size, gas mileage, and comfort. The interior is very comfortable, the driver seat adjusts up and down as well as front to back. I get an average of 18 mpg, and about 26 mpg if I am on the freeway. The best thing about the mpg of my car is it always tells me what it is, I do not have to guess. The size of the car is great, it is not to compact but it is considered a small sedan. You can fit 5 adults in the car no problem, but it is a little tight. The front of the car is not small, but once you fit people in the back it gets a little cramped. The trunk is a great size as well. I have never had any issues with the car except a false check engine light that I have had several shops look at and tell me did not mean anything.

It is stick, I love that it is stick, I want my next car to be stick. I bought my car used in 2017, since then I have had to replace the transmission. I replace the transmission with a prion transmission that had 7000 more miles than mine which had about 80,000 at the time and I haven't had a problem cents. The only other issues I have had with the car or small including the sun visor broke with normal use and the belt clips broke with you serve one of my cell phone car holder.

There's a lot of problems with it, but it is an amazing vehicle. It can go anywhere with minimal issues, any kind of terrain is no match for the powerful symmetrical all wheel drive. It has enough space for a family, but also functions perfectly as a single-operator car for when you want to release and have a bit of fun. The amount of power under the hood is nothing to laugh at, and even stock it will keep up or surpass most modern vehicles to this day.

The all wheel drive is really helpful when you live in the snow. It is always been reliable and never had any expensive issues for the 5 years I have owned it. One thing that is a bit concerning is that there was a safety recall on the passenger airbag for my make and model, but it was repaired at a Subaru dealership at no cost to me. It gets really good gas mileage for an all wheel drive car, too. I get about 28 mpg in town and up to 40 mpg on the highway. I have driven it for road trips over several states, down uneven dirt roads to camp, and up snowy, icy roads to ski, and I have never had an issue with it.

I've had my car for 8 years now. I live in an area that gets hit with rough snow storms, ice and persistent road construction. I work in the medical field so I have to drive and get to places. This car has gotten me to and from work without injury or accident. It's easy to control in snow or on slippery roads. It withstood a rear collision . I was able to drive home while the other car was totaled. I have the " base " model, so an update would be great. My love with thE cars safety, reliability, great gas miles lead to 4 other family members getting a Subaru, with one going repeat leases. I'll never switch brands

My 2010 impreza runs smoothly, accelerates evenly, starts readily and as my first subaru has made a convert of me. . I do not like how low the driver sits, having been . Spoiled by a Toyota previa. But the car feels safe, and has come through a few fender-benders(mostly caused by others) with surprisingly little damage. I have had the car for roughly 3 years, and it probably got better gas mileage before it got to me, but it runs so smoothly that I will not complain. . I'm comfortable with the design of the front end and sides, but do not like the back side of the hatch, particularly the lights. The seats are reasonably comfortable and supportive, particularly considering how low they are to the floor assembly. . I'm told the catalytic converter has begun to self-digest and will require replacing sometime this year or next. [they originally said it would happen last year or this, but I stopped traveling to the family place in stowe, vt to keep it going as long as possible. As it will be wise to replace it at the point, and my former husband/still-friend will replace it for me. Likely a much newer, safety-featured-equipped one. Either japanese or chevrolet. I have liked the interior, the appealing curves of the upholstery, organization of the instrument cluster and dashboard. Possible distracting reflections from the dashboard are well prevented. The fabric has held onto its cleanly appearance very well despite challenges from 2 labradoodles.

It is a relatively good car, really reliable. It is not the most attractive car, but it gets the job done. Be prepared for a few issues as it is an older car. So in my car, the radio is rather quiet even with the volume up all the way up. And the car takes a few minutes, up to ten minutes in cold weather, to warm up. It also does not have the best mileage, but since I only drive to work so it does not bother me as much. Other than that, it is a decent car.

This car is perfect for 2 or a family, adults can actually ride in the back seat comfortably. The back seats fold down and an amazing amount of cargo can be hauled if needed. It is sporty, looks very nice and corners like a dream! We live in northern California and the roads are two lane winding, curvy hill roads. I cannot imagine going back to what I owned before. This vehicle has the power to climb and takes the corners without squealing tires. Before I retired I drove twenty five miles, over a mountain every day to work. In the winter months when we had heavy rain and snow, I never had one problem with hydroplaning or slipping. The car is steady and reliable. I have owned this vehicle for eight years and have not had one mechanical problem! I would recommend this car to anyone that is looking for a small, cute but powerful and reliable car. In fact I have! After 8 years it still looks like new when it is washed and waxed. . . The seats and trunk area do not seem to wear. The one problem we have experienced is when helping an elderly (90yr old) passenger to appointments the seats are a little too low to comfortably get in and out of the car. But, since that is not an everyday use, it does not seem like a problem, however I couldn't recommend an elderly person for ownership.

I have the impreza outback sport. I like the size for city driving and parking, but I miss having the full-size station wagon. I previously had an '85 Subaru GL wagon and then a '98 Subaru outback, both of which I liked better than my current Outback Sport. I wish my current car was longer and had more ground clearance. I also hate that all the new cars have so much plastic. I get that it's safer, but my car has been rattling since the second year I had it. However, I like that it's still a Subaru, all-wheel drive, hatchback, manual transmission, etc.
