The 2019 Impreza is the third year of the Subaru Global Platform. The FB20 2.0L Boxer has some oil consumption complaints, the Lineartronic CVT can shudder, and Starlink infotainment has its quirks. Overall mid-pack reliability.
While 2019 isn't covered by the original FB oil consumption settlement, some owners report similar usage. Subaru's oil consumption test may still apply under standard powertrain warranty.
Some FB20 engines burn 1qt per 1,500-3,000 miles. Subaru oil consumption test required for warranty consideration. Ring replacement is the long-term fix.

Mid-pack. Watch for oil consumption and CVT shudder. Body, AWD, and chassis hold up well.
Some FB20 engines consume noticeable oil. While 2019 isn't part of the original settlement, Subaru may honor an oil consumption test under powertrain warranty.
The Lineartronic shudders and whines at low speed. Fluid replacement every 60K and the TSB TCM update help prolong it.
Yes, including a rear suspension welding recall (19V-008). Check VIN.
200K is realistic with attention to oil consumption and CVT service. The FB20 itself is durable; the CVT is usually the failure point.
2020+ improved Starlink reliability and added standard safety features. 2024+ moved to the all-new generation with refreshed infotainment.
