What Owners Say
"Undercarriage lining on driver's side front is loose and falling out. Needs body work to re-affix this lining. Cost is over $1000.00."
Michael B., NV (2010 Subaru Impreza 2.5i 2.5-L 4 Cyl)"The front bumper came loose. I replaced it, and within two years it came loose again. This time I just had the mechanic drill a hole in the body and attach the loose bumper with steel wire."
Anonymous, ON (2010 Subaru Impreza 2.5-L 4 Cyl)"The front bumper comes unattached at the side junctions. Sometimes it won't bang back into place. This is the second bumper -- the first one was the same. Also, the front of the car is so low and long that it often catches on parking lot dividers; the bumper cracks and the paint peels"
Marjory B., ON (2010 Subaru Impreza 2.5-L 4 Cyl)"Crack in armrest that now extends for full length of armrest. dealer says it wasn't covered either"
Anonymous, NJ (2010 Subaru Impreza 2.5i 2.5-L 4 Cyl)"The arm rest between the driver and passenger seat cracked."
Robert S., MA (2010 Subaru Impreza 2.5-L 4 Cyl)"Very low grade interior from flimsy seats and seating material, cheap carpeting, weakly fastened center console, many noises and rattles that for a car driven so few miles was more than disappointing."

Anonymous, MA (2010 Subaru Impreza 2.5i 2.5-L 4 Cyl)"The inside rear view mirror fell off the windshield. The mirror has several functions, so is connected electronically. The repair required ordering a part plus being glued directly onto the windshield, i.e., the car was out of use for several days."

Anonymous, NL (2010 Subaru Impreza 2.5i 2.5-L 4 Cyl)"The paint on the bumper had been cracking and peeling."
Anonymous, ON (2010 Subaru Impreza 2.5-L 4 Cyl)"Oops, I added it to the earlier issue. The front of the car is so low-slung and long (the rear-view mirrors don't line up with other cars' mirrors that the bumper often slides over parking barriers and catches when backing out. Then the bumper cracks and peels"
