Don't hold your breath. This is the first time Impreza's even been offered with leather (except a very limited run in the '90s, IIRC), and they've been using black/charcoal and ivory for years elsewhere in the lineup. But maybe XV will get something different.

Same here. Currently leaning towards the Impreza as it seems to have a better interior. Never thought I would say that about a Subaru impreza. The skyactiv Mazda3 should be launching any moment now in Australia. Once impressions of the impreza start coming in, I should have a fairly clear idea on which is gonner be my next car. Hopefully, Australia will be getting the Canadian line up with Xenon and integrated turn signal on side mirror. Will make my decision much easier. Although Mazda3 with push button start will swing it back in.

I was comparing the focus, elantra and the impreza. I had a loaner last winter with awd and wishing they could get good mpg.....and along comes the 2012 /impreza. Now I just need to give up the zip of my mini. But i'm thinking the awd will make up for the times i get stuck in the alley.

First time poster here shopping the Impreza, Focus, Mazda3, Hyundai/Kias for a hatch for all the usual reasons (better MPG, handling, saving the planet...)
Test drove the Focus Titanium and SEL and was amazed by the content but not pleased with the ride quality or the feel of the DSG tranny. Granted, it was a short test and I didn't get to open it up much though. The rear seat was TINY (I'm tall but there was zero way for me to put a passenger in the back and drive safely). Test drove the Mazda and was impressed by the handling and sporty interior on the upper trim level Grand Touring model, but NOT impressed with the ride quality on rough surfaces or again room in the rear seat for kids, dogs, or hauling the usual weekend "mass hysteria"... Also, North America SkyActiv cars won't be here till early November and the initial cars will not have ALL of the SkyActiv exhaust system changes and underbody changes until mid-model year apparently (per the Sales Mgr). Good intel for Mazda early adopters... Also shopping the 2012 Kia Soul (as the dark horse) candidate that gets similar MPG and more interior seating room (though close to zero cargo). I have a friend at work with a 2010 Impreza hatch and the back seats appeared to be "deeper" than the Mazda3 so I'm hoping the added rear seat room and higher front seat "footwell" for rear passengers feet in 2012 will seal the deal. If anyone has been in the backseat of both current model and new hatchback models who can share experiences on how practical the rear seats are in the 2012, that would really help me hang on till the Imprezas are available! |

I was shopping all vcehicles in the class. The Focus was dropped from the list as soon as i talked to my insurance agent. The Focus was going to be almost $900 every 6!

I wonder if the Focus gets stolen more often due to being so common. |

Just placed an order for 2% off invoice. I didn't use any promos, just straight up negotiation.
It ended up being around 450+ off invoice for my build (4DR Limited+sunroof+nav). |

For those pre-ordering the 2012, how are you working the interest rates (if not buying them outright)? My sister is thinking of going the pre-order route but wants to know if she should expect to go through her own bank or will Subaru most likely have their standard 3.9/4.9% being offered?
