Does any of the rental houses rent current imprezas? I'd love to borrow one for a day or two so I'd know. Basically I really need it to get no worse than 30mpg or I'm not interested. Better would be nice but not needed but the first number needs to be a 3. a 2004 WRX got high 20s (averages 24.5) for me, so 30 with a 2l non turbo with 100 less hp should work... |

^^ This. If I was after a manual hatch it would be a Mazda3. There are a few of them out there: Golf, Elantra GT, RIO5, Audi A3, 3, Imp. I think all the rest are smaller or have worse MPGs. Of course if smaller is OK, the field opens up. Accent and Sonic are neat little things.

I'm by no means complaining, lifetime is 28mpg, last 10 or so fills are 29.x and will continue to improve as temps continue to rise. I think with the Mazda 3, realistically I would be seeing 34ish, and would have stuck a few times this winter... |

Club joined.
I was very close to a steal on one until this Impreza limited with its options dropped to 21k when they gave me 1.9% on top of that i couldn't pass that up for anything. I probably could have squeezed them for a hatch limited but seeing how I haven't even put cargo to use I surely don't mind the sedan. Also I am coming up on 80% city tank that is surprisingly(because of how lead footed i am) close to 26-28 mpgs.Warm weather is definitely starting to shake things out |

I ski 10~15 times a year and live in NE and drive in the snow all the time. The MINI with all seasons has been OK but I'd prefer AWD. But I recently started a job with a 55 mile one way (interstate so it'll be pretty good/clean when it snows) drive. So mileage is now pretty important. Before it was nice but not crucial. If I get a FWD car snows will be added for winter for sure (and to the MINI if I'm still in it). But AWD is also nice and it's good enough with the stock all seasons to work until those tires are shot, then I'd add a set of snows on the OEM rims and get summers... Other options are: Quote:
But yeah, I LOVE subarus. The good and the bad news is I know too much about them so with any of the other cars on that list I could just get one and maybe not mod it. I already have ~10 things I want to do to an impreza if/when I get another (and none are power related!). The other thing is the wife ALSO loves subarus now for the fact they're AWD and she's grown to love the forester (she hated the WRX, ZOMG SPOOL! and it had a cobb short shift kit in it where she'd go 1 -> 2 -> 5 ). But yeah, the subaru checks the most boxes and is a car I actually want. The rest are just kinda meh commuter cars I don't care about. But I "need" to get 30mpg to make it work out financially in terms of affording the payment (the MINI is long since paid off) AND the gas. It'll be nice to NOT be putting premium in either car though for once. |

I think on a reasonably highway drive, not including huge hills or driving mostly 70mph+, you will be seeing ~30 MPG's, better in the summer and a bit lower in the winter, especially if you get snows mounted.

Just get it. 30mpg isnt hard to acheive on highway commutes.
Ive achieved 500+miles on a tank, youll be fine. You know you want it. |

I've been driving jeeps the last 14 years, 2 97 wranglers and a 98 Cherokee. I bought a 13 Impreza 5 door cvt sport, been good in snow, I do local commute, 25 mi one way, mostly uphill and downhill local roads and get 32mpg consistent. Last week I got 35mpg out of the tank. Even though I have had it for 3 months I still have not taken it more than 40 miles from home. Next week it will be down to philly and back so I hope to see what kind of mileage it will get on the PA turnpike where I can throw the cruise on and see what happens. Either way I am much happier now that I don't have the sub 20mpg I got with the jeeps on a weekly basis. So far my gas savings is over $250 a month with the imp, the jeeps were costing me about $90 a week in gas.

Filled up yesterday, hand calculated was 34.5 mpg....I've added something to the car since the last fill up, but it's too early to tell if that's the reason for the higher MPGs.

If you live in the southern states, your summer mpg's are lower than winter. The A/C sucks a lot of efficiency away.

if you drive a serious miles like I do than nothing beats a diesel. My 2012 TDI easily blew the EPA #'s out of the park. I got 50-52mpg highway every day doing 65-70mph 42-43 mpg at +75mph
Would still be driving it if I didn't run off the road right into a tree (ice) during the last big snow storm. Now i'm back into an Impreza. Got a great deal on a white base 2013 with Signiture series sunroof and Katskin Leather seats. Love it! Cars I have had: 2006 VW GLI (stage 1 REVO) loved it but sucked in snow 2008 Impreza STI (stage 2 Cobb) was a beast, great in snow and everything else 2012 VW TDI loved the MPG and Interior. Sucked in snow 2013 Impreza Growing on me! I am getting about 34-35 mpg highway. My commute is 60 miles each way. |

Same with my Corolla. Also rated at 36 mpg highway but gets 7 or 8 better than the Impreza under identical conditions.
