Common problems and easy repairs on a 2012 Impreza

The 2012 Subaru Impreza is an easy car to maintain. Accessing the battery isn’t a problem, as its non-remote terminals and easily-accessible bracket allow for it to be easily changed. The spare tire and jack kit are packaged together, allowing for quick removal and reliable fixing of a flat. The taillights are all located in a single bulb housing which pries out easily with the removal of a couple of bolts.

However, the 2012 Subaru Impreza has its downsides. The air filter intake vent must be removed to access the headlight and highbeam on the passenger side, which won’t allow for quick, reliable changes. The turn signal and parking lights on both sides can only be accessed through the wheel well lining, which may be a problem should the lining grow too rigid. The engine air filter requires multiple parts to be disconnected and may prove to have cramped access.
