had a 2011 Impreza (and a line of Subies prior)
There's a lot of reasons that went into my decision to trade, trade in offer from the dealer was way more than I anticipated, lower insurance, better mileage, more room for me (impreza was killing my back) more room for my dog's friends, plus it generally feels sturdier/more rugged than the Impreza (tho not a fan of the stock geolander tires they'll suffice in our milder than normal winter) ... the Impreza had some annoying quirks that I could have lived with if this deal didn't work the way I wanted but it did work out the way I needed it to and 3mos in with it, I'm very happy with it.
