View Full Version : Impreza = number one lemon? wrxhunter 02-06-2005, 12:58 AM http://www.lemonlaw.com/lemonlist.html :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: gerbs 02-06-2005, 01:00 AM onoes ..that's not really surprising considering how many people complain cuz they mod up their shiet and then get denied warranty coverage. meh 23b_Rex 02-06-2005, 01:01 AM gotta be number 1 in something brunetmj 02-06-2005, 01:04 AM that's not really surprising considering how many people complain cuz they mod up their shiet and then get denied warranty coverage. meh That has to be it. Comes as a suprize to me. I have had three of them and never any trouble. jetfan2207 02-06-2005, 01:09 AM it may also have to do with the Impreza being a category containing many different models. What I mean is that you have the Impreza WRX, RS, WRX wagon, STI, RS wagon, etc. So it's not really one car. I may be wrong, but that's what came to mind. RTS EVO VIII 02-06-2005, 02:11 AM looks like subaru finally won something!! congrats, fellow owners!! :banana: quentinberg007 02-06-2005, 02:52 AM Probably because people think that their AWD drivetrain should be able to handle a 6k clutch dump because their Civic Si could. When something breaks, it is never the user's fault. Must be something inherently wrong with the car. :rolleyes: ~~Quentin Marx92x 02-06-2005, 02:54 AM I don't believe it for several reasons, heres one: "The federal government collects this information but has never released it to the general public. The complaint index is based on a ratio of the number of complaints for each vehicle to the sales of that vehicle. " So am I to believe that there have been 27,952 complaints per Imprezza sold in the US? Please... I think they mean to say 1 lemon law complaint per X number of vehicles, ergo 1 complaint per 27,952 makes the Impreza the best car on the list. This explains why the Neon is at the bottom with 1 lemon law complaint in 5,045 units sold. :lol: Neons! Also, the website prominently displays a banner proclaiming "Se habla espanol". Apparently the don't "Se habla Ingles" enough to figure out how to explain their list. :confused: ChrisL2 02-06-2005, 03:47 AM I don't believe it for several reasons, heres one: "The federal government collects this information but has never released it to the general public.

I take offense to that remark. :lol: Damn sunroof broke 3 times on it. It has stayed broken for the past 5 years now. Neon owners just don't complain because the neon is a cheap ass car. Well at least I think it is. The neon is probably low because large amounts are sold to rental fleets and I doubt they really complain that much. wrxhunter 02-06-2005, 05:18 AM hmm good point.. not sure which way the thing works sonicsuby 02-06-2005, 10:38 AM I have about 20+ friends that drive Subarus and own 2 myself. Never had a problem with any of them.

They're just trying to justify their existence. If these were stats pulled from the Better Business Bureau or something like that, then it would have some sort of seriousness ... Otherwise its just crap IMO. Deck 02-06-2005, 11:38 AM Do you see what is directly after the Impreza? Infiniti and Audi. There is NO WAY Subaru, Infiniti and Audi make the top 3 lemons. I think the #1 lemon is the Neon, #2 is the Yukon, and etc... So congrats, we drive the most RELIABLE car on the list!!

NHTSA.org only shows 2 recalls/defects for the Impreza in 2004 ....

I think there are an exceptional amount of "complaints" (ie not broken) because subaru has a terrible time fixing something permanently. I've changed my glass and motors in my frickin doors 5 times and they still make huge gashes in my glass... seriously its stupid...
