Hard to say from your description. If the check engine light is on have the codes read. If you have a CVT I would check it out as well as the engine. The blue smoke is a worn engine, probably valve seals.
I agree, blue smoke is NOT GOOD.....150,000 miles is the range for consideration to switch cars...... Even though it's a 2012... I would consider swapping it for a younger newer car with less miles.. Are you the original owner?? If YES, that might make a difference... BUT, Im guessing that you are not...
This exact thing happened on my 2004 impreza, ended up being the alternator. Good luck!
Shutters, loss of power, sometimes a tapping sound or like a broken rod. The next day will start and run fine for a while. Blue smoke when first start.
