I've posted here a few times, but never fully introduced myself or my car. I ordered it back in April and was told it would arrive in July, but was surprised to have it delivered the day after my birthday in May. A silver 22 sport hatch with the sunroof package. It's my very first Subaru and I love it!

It will probably remain fairly stock. I'm planning on retiring in about a year, so it may be my last new car purchase. We'll see. My spouse is ordering a Forester, so we'll be a two Subaru family soon.

Not great, but I didn't expect it to be. I'm getting around 30 mpg on my usual mixed commute. I do a bit better on longer trips. My previous car was a Hyundai Accent that got much better mpg.

Very nice! Also the proud owner of a 22 Impreza Sport Hatch with the sunroof package. It's nice to have the HK audio system, too. I've been averaging around 34 mpg, mixed driving, but also only have put about 380 miles on it in the almost 2 weeks I've had it. Curious to see how it does after break in!

Twins! Idk how you all are getting 30… I get 26 mixed. Broken in. I can get 30 if I take a long highway drive. I’m callin cap.

How long does it take to break it in?

Average is 34 mpg on mine. Calculated over 76,000 miles. My commute is mostly highway speeds, but I do have quite a number of traffic lights that don't cooperate.

Yes! I'm really liking the stereo system. One of the reasons I chose the 22 Impreza over other cars or over waiting for the next generation was that I could still get a CD player. I didn't even realize my last car didn't have one until after I'd bought it, and I really missed it. I like Sirius and Apple Car Play, but I'm also still pretty old school and have a lot of music on CD.

Also predominantly my reason for getting the Sport over the Base since I wanted a manual 5 speed too. Additionally the Subaru lineup is the only lineup of vehicles that doesn't "stick an iPad on the top of the dashboard" display. I really only was contending between the Mazda 3 hatch 6spd, and the Impreza. Impreza took the cake

I like Mazda, but the interior space they offer is too small compared to Subaru

1,000 miles according to Subaru. Sitting at 800ish now after about 16 days. Hoping to hit 1,000 within the next week or so!

Nice! I remember the break-in period for me took quite a few weeks, though my oil change at 5k was almost on time, next oil change at 10k was about 2 months early. Did a lot of driving from Missouri thru Kansas.

Just passed the 2K mark after almost three months. So far I've mostly just used the car for commuting to and from work and a few day trips. I'm hoping to put some more miles on it in the coming weeks as I have some time off from work...
