Faults:

The driver's rear view door mirror is loose, but can be fixed easily at the first oil change.

With 1500 miles on it, the engine is just now breaking in.

Steering seems a bit stiff, but will hopefully loosen up.

Rear seat head rests block some vision when using rear view mirror.

Cruise lags a bit on setting, but accelerate button works well.

General Comments:

This car handles with extreme ease. It takes curves at fast speeds with little G force.

The sunroof is awesome. Makes me feel as if I'm in a much bigger car.

Lots of little nifty gadgets like plastic bag hooks in the cargo compartment.

Cruises quietly and smoothly at 80 miles per hour on the highway.

2.5 litre engine is peppy and fuel efficient.

Front seat is comfortable even for bigger people.

Faults:

Nothing, but I have only 4200 miles on it.

General Comments:

The car is peppy and responsive.

It has great accident avoidance abilities.

The suspension is rock-solid and tough as nails. I drove it over a curve at 25 MPH and hardly noticed it.

The headroom is phenomenal.

The availability and use of space is generally good.

Leg room for the driver is restricted and driver's seat comfort is marginal.

Fuel economy at 22-24 in my town and country driving situation is less than I would expect for a 4 cylinder.

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong with this pocket rocket.

Driver's seat seem to be off center with the steering wheel.

General Comments:

Rear end is shapely, but the front end looks like a toad.

Goes like stink, and that is before the turbo kicks in. Then, hang on. Launch speeds.

Beaucoup de headroom (I'm over 6 ft).

Traction in wet and snow is fantastic.

General Comments:

Subaru's marketing and engineering Dept's finally got their act together.

This little SUV is quick off the line and has reasonably good handling and ride comfort. The brakes feel a bit spongy, but stop the car if you step on them. The turbos water cooled design eliminates the concerns over cooking the oil. It comes with most of the options one would want. The heated mirrors and wipers really come in handy in snow and ice. The vehicle was really designed for snow country.
