The regular 2012 Subaru Impreza has been completely redesigned. Highlights include a more fuel-efficient engine, updated styling and a roomier and higher-quality interior. Last year's high-performance WRX and STI variants carry over unchanged. The Outback Sport has been discontinued.
- Disappointing cabin quality of WRX and STI
- STI lacks the dynamic edge of rivals
- Substandard sound systems.

Ru #5, Do not buy - 2012 Subaru Impreza
By ruman4u - October 21 - 3:51 amReviews on Edmunds.com are kind at best. The electric power assist steering definately has a dead spot at highway speed. The problem is once you steer beyond the dead spot, youre starting to over compensate. Edmunds is kind saying its not a bad first attempt. I say nay, nay....As a happy owner of 4 previous Rus, I never thought Id buy one I hate, but I did.

Bad Engine/ CVT - 2012 Subaru Impreza
By Mark webster - May 5 - 10:55 amIts a o.k. car, wouldnt buy another. Problems with the boxer engine, burns oil. Transmission is weird, brakes when coasting down hill. Outside of car easy to dent, thin metal. Very loud when driving, turn up the tunes. Just had a wheel bearing and the front brakes replaced, cost about $900, so repairs are not cheap. What I do like is that the seats are easy on the back, corners well, and good speakers.
