2017 Subaru Impreza Review
Overview
Everybody needs a car like the Subaru Impreza. Safe fun to drive practical—and it’s a Subaru so you know it’s durable. In fact the Impreza is the longest-lasting vehicle in its class. Choose from four models starting with the 2.0i and moving through the top-of-the-line 2.0i Limited. All are available as sedans and hatchbacks. Made of high-strength steel in critical areas the Impreza isn’t just more rigid it’s more safe. So safe the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety made the Impreza a Top Safety Pick Plus. As an added bonus Impreza’s more rigid structure lowers road vibration and increases handling. Inside the super-safe cabin creature comforts abound. Six-way adjustable front seats; steering-wheel-mounted controls for audio Bluetooth and cruise control; and the largest passenger volume in its class all come standard. An available power moonroof lets the sky in and standard Subaru Starlink with Bluetooth Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keep you connected. Choose from a variety of colors and accessories and build an Impreza that’s all yours. The Subaru Impreza—it’s the best-selling all-wheel-drive car in its class.
Technology
With standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto you’ll never be out of touch in a Subaru Impreza. Plus there’s Bluetooth audio streaming and hands-free phone connectivity Pandora and Aha smartphone app integration and more. And it’s all standard with Subaru’s Starlink multimedia system. Add the available eight-speaker 432-watt-equivalent Harmon Kardon audio system and you’ll hear every note of those songs you’re streaming. In fact open up the available power moonroof and let the whole world hear your music! The Subaru Impreza. Love the drive!
Safety
Made of high-strength steel in critical areas the Subaru Impreza is so safe the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety made it a Top Safety Pick Plus. Only seven other cars in the category got that rating this year. What gives the Impreza its safety edge? Subaru’s available EyeSight Driver Assist Technology is one reason. Including features like Pre-Collision Braking and Adaptive Cruise Control it’s like having a few extra sets of eyes driving with you. The Subaru Impreza. Love the safety.
Performance
Just how did the Subaru Impreza get to be the best-selling all-wheel-drive car in its class? Simple. By being the best all-wheel-drive car in its class. Instead of a slip-then-grip approach Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive delivers optimal power to each wheel. With the boxer engine’s low center of gravity it’s one great-handling car. Up the performance ante with the Impreza Sport. It adds torque vectoring to the all-wheel-drive system plus a sport-tuned suspension 18-inch alloy wheels and a trunk-mounted spoiler. The Subaru Impreza. Love the drive!
