r/subaruimpreza

I currently drive a 2016 Nissan Altima and am used to smaller cars. It’s just me, my partner and our dogs. I test drove a crosstrek wilderness and an impreza rs (both 2026) and am a fan of both. I love the idea of the crosstrek, but for some reason I’m just drawn to the hatchback. Any thoughts or recommendations??

My last service at the dealer for oil change and CVT fluid change they noted a bad wheel bearing on the left rear.

They want $600+ but a local shop quoted $300, but cannot schedule me until Thursday.

My problem is I wanted to take a trip and drive about 1000 miles. Will this do substantial damage to the axel or any other important parts? It is not noticeable when driving other than a little extra noise from the rear at highway speeds.

Any thoughts?

I recently got a P0420 code, and could hear air escaping from under my car, at first thought it was one of my hoses but once I scanned it Code lead me to finding out my catalytic converter is going bad.

Has anyone here replaced pads/rotors on the newer RS? this is my first Subaru, but I did my own routine maintenance on my old 2012 civic so I have general experience. I picked up a diagnostic tool to put the electronic parking break in maintenance mode and have the tool for depressing the piston. Is there anything I'm missing or any quarks y'all have had changing them out?

Anyone know where I can find this myself? I mean physically on the car, not on the internet. There is a recall for the assembly but the dealership is too far for me to drive there only to find that mine doesn't need a replacement. I have a 5th Gen subaru impreza if that helps

I have a 2025 Subaru Impreza and whenever I unplug my phone from Android Auto, my phone will connect to Bluetooth and automatically start playing whatever I was last listening to on YT Music. I have turned off the "start music automatically" setting on android auto and the "allow external devices to play music" setting on YT Music. However, it has continued to automatically play. Are there any settings that I'm missing?

Hi Peeps. I have been driving around my 2011 hatch for a couple of months now. Im new to Subaru and I knew that cabin noise was a thing with these cars but wow this has to be one of the noisiest cabins I’ve been in for a car from this century.

I’m really enjoying it overall but the engine noise, road noise, wind, trim/dash vibrations etc are just kinda really obvious to me right now.

Anyone have any advice on how to remedy this without going broke?

hey y'all, clown on me all you want, but I'm building out my 24 Impreza RS and want to put RGB taillights in it. I've heard some people say the JDMUSCLE ones for the 22-26 WRX would fit but honestly mad idk. what do y'all think? will it fit? do y'all know of any RGB taillights that would?? lmk
