Dashboard, Value, Cost to Maintain
Pros
Fuel Economy
We enjoyed the three hour trip we took because the fuel economy is great.
Cost to Maintain
So far we haven’t had any problems.
Technology and Entertainment
We’re able to use the radio, play cds, listen through Blue tooth, or Apple Play. The entertainment aspects are amazing.
Cons
Value
I’m surprised how much it cost.
Interior Space
I’m surprised how much it cost considering the interior space.
Dashboard
I’m surprised how much it cost due to the dashboard being black it’s so hot here, the color makes it worse.

Pros
Value
Safest car you can buy at that price point.
Fuel Economy
We get 32 mpg around town, 35 on the highway. Great numbers for a mid-size AWD car.
Ride and Handling
Solid, smooth, and quiet on the highway, but still nimble around town.
Cons
Power
It's predictably underpowered as most economy cars are. But quicker than you'd expect.
Dashboard
This is dashboard 101. Nothing fancy or trending. Temp, fan, and selector are plain dials. But we like being able to operate it with out having to read the manual.
Styling
Nothing new here. At a glance it could pass for a typical Nissan, Toyota, or Honda. We don't mind.
Pros
Ride and Handling
It is a comfortable ride and easy handling.
Cons
Cabin Noise
It now seems noisier in the cabin than I remember when I test drove the car.
Pros
Styling
I got this for my daughter due to Subaru's history of making safe cars. She loves the style and is proud to drive it.
Interior Space
For a smaller car it is comfortably spacious.
Ride and Handling
For a young and inexperienced driver, this car is very suitable for easy handling that makes my daughter feel comfortable driving it.
Cons
Reliability
Very soon after buying this car a leak was noticed in the transmission. I don't know if it was there when we bought it or started afterward but the sealed system makes it necessary to find a mechanic that will work on Subaru just to get a diagnosis. Not everyone will work on Subaru. This makes it inconvenient to find out what's wrong. The car also had a coolant leak that caused issues with the serpentine belts. Again, not noticed until shortly after the purchase so unknown when it started.
Cost to Maintain
Not all mechanics will work on Subaru so we have to find ones that will and the cost is a bit higher for the parts.
