There was nothing wrong on my 1993 Subaru Impreza after I purchased it.
This car was the greatest car I ever had. Even any other car can't beat it. It got a 1.8 Liter engine. It have good body. It's the nicest goodest car I had.

Love it
Minor - but burns oil.
I was looking for a commuter car and bought the impreza. I am the third owner and I have put 15000 miles on the car. I immediately put new brakes and tires on the car and have had NO PROBLEMS with it. Very reliable. I get about 26-27 mpg which right in the range its supposed to get.
The only "bad" thing is that it burns oil. I have to add about a quart a month. I put 2000 miles on the car every month.

This car is off the charts - good
Very little has gone wrong with this auto. It truly lives up to the Japanese standards of excellence. If anything, I would not fully recommend the ride as it is a tad rough, but for the money, it is well within reason.
Without a question, this is the best car I have ever owned in terms of reliability, durability and total satisfaction. Coupled with owning the worst car I have ever owned (Plymouth Voyager) I guess I've broken even, but only due to the extraordinary resilience of this car.
I would buy another (and plan to) in a hearbeat.
A bit cramped if you have more than 2 kids, but a perfect all-around commuter car.

What an awesome car!
Basically, I can't say that things have gone WRONG with the car... I have just done the maintenance services:
Replaced all brakes.
Replaced CV Joints.
Replaced Rear Strut.
At 55,000 the water pump went out and damaged the timing belt... both were fixed under warranty!
Some kind of heat sensor thing went out about 10,000 miles ago.
The cup holder on this model is in an unfortunate location above the manual shifter... if you like coffee with sugar, some of the drink may get into the shifting mechanism and cause lock ups during cold weather... my brother disabled some part inside the shifting mechanism and now we don't have that problem any more!
What a car! My dad advised me to look into Subaru when I was 21... best purchase I could have made. The '93 Impreza is the first of this model and I am astonished at how well this car is doing, both mechanically as well as its paint job and interior appearance as well. I take no caution in recommending this model or make of car! In my opinion it is the ideal car for any woman (or guy), but particularly any woman because they are just so darn reliable!

A super reliable car with decent performance
No major problems; just regular maintenance.
Power windows stopped working when they were wide open!
Air conditioning doesn't work; haven't bothered to fix it yet.
The trunk leaks a bit.
This car has surprisingly brisk acceleration for a four cylinder engine with an automatic.
The car has an excellent engine.
The climate controls are not adequately lit.
The windows could use frames.

The car you can wreck 8 times and still drive like new
Radio stopped working at 62000 miles.
Starter went out at 160000.
For a 93 this car is nice inside and almost like 2001. The cars power is a little weak since I don't have the turbo.
You can do anything with this car it will go anywhere you want, you can pull powerslides on a snow covered country road or drive 120 mph on any highway. It will take a corner like no other.

No major problems, normal wear and tear.
I purchased this car with 3 miles on the odometer, 76,000 miles later, it is still the best car I have ever owned.

Not too much. At almost 60,000 miles, only needed normal scheduled maintenance.
Very pleased.

Sorry - I wrote the review and failed to mention that I bought the car with 72000 miles on it and wrote the review at 87000 miles.
