2012 - Subaru Impreza on 2040-cars
Harrington, Delaware, United States
2012 Subaru Impreza Limited 4-Door Sedan in excellent condition. This Limited optioned sedan offers a beautiful Satin White Pearl exterior with tan leather. Subaru is one of the most highly rated vehicles for it's safety and AWD system for snow. This Impreza is ready to handle the upcoming winter. I have changed the oil regularly, it's required no maintenance aside from changing all tires at 37,000 miles. I've kept the interior in immaculate shape. This is accident free and I am the original owner. All you need to do is hop in and drive! I will try my best to list all of the available options. Overall: The 2012 model offered a new style for the Impreza series. In addition to the visual changes, Subaru upgraded to a new version 2.0 liter four cylinder H-4 automatic CVT (continuously variable transmission) engine to provide better gas mileage. The CVT engine offers increased fuel economy rated at 27 MPG city and 36 MPG highway. This is a Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV) which means it provides little pollution to the environment. Subaru also upgraded the overall interior refinements, increased the backseat room and included great additional standard features and options. The Limited model does not require premium gas which will save you more at the pump. The CVT features two different drive modes: "D" is for automatic drive mode and "M" is for manual drive mode. Paddle Shifters adjusts the gears in manual mode for full transmission control. Other options include variable intermittent wipers, front fog lights, fully automatic headlights and remote keyless entry. Safety: Dual front impact airbags, dual front side impact airbags and knee airbag Traction control and ABS brakes Security system with panic alarm Large outside mirrors offer excellent rear visibility Exterior & Condition: Only the Limited edition included door handles with the chrome strip accents Satin White Peal Exterior Paint Premium 17" spoke alloy wheels Upgraded rear bumper applique offers clear, scratch-resistant vinyl film helps to protect bumper upper surface and the leading edge. Condition: There are a few marks which I will indicate in the pictures. One was a rock chip on the hood and the other is on the driver door from a co-worker opening her door in to mine. Comfort & Convenience Features: The Limited edition is the only Impreza that included leather upholstery, premium leather wrapped telescoping steering wheel with audio, bluetooth and cruise control plus leather wrapped shift knob.

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"
Mon, 03 Dec 2012The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.
Subaru suppliers rely on gray market labor
Fri, Jul 31 2015The Subaru Forester is currently the Japanese brand's bestselling model in the US. A new investigation by Reuters is making some scathing allegations about how the popular model is actually made, though. The piece claims that many of Subaru's suppliers in Ota, Japan, are using low-paid foreign workers and asylum seekers to produce components that go into the CUV. The report says that these laborers are coming from places like China and Bangladesh, and they allegedly receive a pittance compared to their Japanese counterparts. Many said that they get about $6.60 an hour, but employment brokers can take a large portion of that pay. At just four suppliers Reuters estimates there are 580 foreign workers, or about 30 percent of the total workforce. The situation has turned Ota into a cultural melting pot because of the significant population of immigrant labor. The problem stems in part from Japan's tiny labor market, and the country's odd asylum system that doesn't allow some applicants to work legally. These suppliers produce many components for the Forester, including the seats, shocks, and fuel tanks. Reuters admits that the businesses have contracts with other Japanese automakers, as well, but Subaru receives the main focus of this piece, which you can read in full, here. When asked for comment about Reuters' report, Subaru of America provided Autoblog with the following statement: "Fuji Heavy Industries does not condone the exploitation of any class of worker, either in its own operations or within its supply chain. FHI expects all employees to be treated fairly, with dignity and respect and to be provided with appropriate workplace protections. The FHI CSR policy respects and adheres to the law and regulations of business as well as upholding human rights and international standards of behavior and the ethical standards of our stakeholders. Our supply chain network has been made aware of our policy and expectations."
Subaru is America's third most off-roaded brand
Tue, 01 Jul 2014When you think of iconic off-road brands, where does Subaru fall on your radar? Somewhere in the middle? Perhaps near the bottom? Don't worry, you're not alone. Until recently spending some time in Bend, OR, where we drove the all-new 2015 Subaru Outback, we never really pegged the Japanese automaker to be a highly lauded brand among off-road enthusiasts, despite many of the company's products actually being quite capable when the going gets rough.
But the data says we're wrong. According to a 2013 J.D. Power study, Subaru vehicles have some of the highest use off road compared to other brands - of course "off road" here just means anything not on a paved road, so even gravel trails and tame two-tracks count in these statistics. Nearly 29.5 percent of its cars are used on trails and dirt roads, with only the Ram and Jeep brands besting that statistic, at 30.2 and 31.0 percent, respectively. Said another way, Subaru sold 424,683 vehicles in the US in 2013, meaning that some 125,281 saw off-road use. Mainstream brands like GMC, Ford and Chevrolet all trail Subaru, and even Land Rover comes in at less than 20 percent.
Some 34.7 percent of Outbacks are taken off paved roads, according to J.D. Power data.
