I can attest, my mom has a 2017 Impreza hatchback with a manual transmission. In the first two years it was in the shop like 4-5x for various issues, the main one being wiring harness for the engine.

I've driven it a handful of times and it's a fucking pile. She regrets buying it... the shifter vibrates horribly, the car constantly shudders like it's going to stall, the interior is awful hard plastic, everything looks and feels cheap, and the car is PAINFULLY slow. The first time I tried to drive it I was literally flooring it and it felt like it was barely moving. Eco mode was off, it's just a slow car.

I'm never buying a Subaru and I recommend against it if it ever comes up. I almost bought a new WRX but after seeing what my mom went thru I got a GTI and it's been reliable. Cheaper at the time too.

See, i thought i was just shitty at driving stick. My crosstrek also stutters and shakes a ton, and once a week it just refuses to let me shift into reverse.

I think your mom's Impreza has been in the shop for more issues than all of my Subarus combined. I got a buddy driving a 20 year old Impreza and it still runs great. I get it, I had a rogue that was similar. Just constantly not working right. I'll never buy another Nissan. Getting a lemon does that.

Yeah older Subarus are mint. I noticed Honda has been less reliable in general as well when I was shopping for cars. My first two cars were civics and both were great but I've heard mixed things (consumer reports) on the newer ones. I miss old Japanese cars... Simple and reliable.
