Had the Hatch now for 2 weeks, first Subaru i have owned. The first day of driving it around i can honestly say that i thought i had bought the wrong car, too loud, noisy brakes, no toys etc.
But now just cant leave the thing alone. Its my daily drive, my missus is using the DS3 (my company car) for work and i use the hatch.
Its just an easy car to go quick in (i'm not a racing driver feels really light on its feet, nimble, brakes never fade, love the sound of the Pipe, dont care that the stereo is rubbish, i'll happily drive it around with the window down, the sound coming from the hayward and scot 4 way out is stunning.
Drove to Essex from berkshire to see some mates, no issue at all, in I mode returned around 29 ish MPG, got there put it in sport# had a bit of fun drove home still 1/4 of a tank left.
Its got a pretty useful boot, loads of room in the back. (although no one will be sitting there) (or in fact using the boot).
I can safely see what all the talk was about now!
Pros - all of the above
Cons - bugger all that i can see.
One thing i am going to do is fit a kenwood/pinoeer/alpine nav system which ever one comes out cheapest. Just because i'm not a fan of sticking things to the windscreen.
