The main documented issue is concentrated in the 2019 model year, which has the highest NHTSA complaints in the visibility/wiper category, with 194 complaints versus 85 for 2020 and 12 for 2022. Symptoms typically involve windshield cracking or crazing and wiper problems that can obstruct the driver's view in rain or snow. Before buying a 2019-2021 Impreza, inspect the windshield for cracks or stress fractures and test the wipers; 2020-2023 models show fewer complaints and are considered the better reliability choice.
