  Already traded it! - 2011 Subaru Impreza
  By mamabex - December 17 - 6:30 pm

  Bought this car new in Feb 2011. Loved the looks and wanted that legendary Subaru reliability. Boy, we were sorely mistaken. We just traded it in after the last straw--and its January, 2013. We had to have the engine REPLACED at 18K. REPLACED. This is a dealer-serviced car, driven gently back and forth to work and to the grocery store, etc. Engine knocked, we took it in, and it spent the next MONTH and change in the shop. After they replaced the engine, we thought everything was okay--until a few weeks ago, when it began knocking AGAIN. We took it back in. For the last time. We traded that heap and havent looked back. This car was probably a lemon, but still disappointed.

  A big step backwards for Subaru. - 2011 Subaru Impreza
  By Scott - May 19 - 10:00 am

  I bought my third Subaru yesterday. Today, the Edmunds review lead-in sentence comes to mind - "Subaru Owners are fiercely loyal - were not sure why." Yesterday I would have said that Im loyal because - in spite of very low quality interior materials, the cars AWD system does truly rule the road. And even though all past Subies have plastic-chrome emblems that peel in months and carpets that wear clear though to the floor - the car is truly a blast to drive. It was the poor-mans WRX sports car. It was involving, exciting, made me think in was in a BMW or Porsche. Compared to 07, the new 2011 is bloated and slow, the body rolls on corners my old car didnt know were corners.

  What Happened ? - 2011 Subaru Impreza
  By diehard080 - January 4 - 3:40 am

  I am on my 4th Sube. To this day my 1st the 77 wagon, was the BEST. Why because it was built like a tank and not flimsy in any way . Yes I had to shift it to get to 4WD but that was good for MPG ! My 2006 Outback Sport was totaled after I was hit from behind on the FWY. So I get the chance to get the "latest" body style and updated changes- Wow I have to say many in this review section seem to be idealistic and have no experince with other subes or cars. Why ? This cars handling is weak and it gives way on quick turning, powerless in 0-60 over 10seconds ! and the interior is the most sparse I could concieve. They put all the $ in the 4wd system. Bad move as the rest of the car suffers.
