I have the 2018 Sport wagon in Island blue and we LOVE it. Two long trips to Florida and back home it was awesome. Yes the off the line speed is lacking, I wish it had more HP, but once up to speed passing is no issue for this baby. The AWD is fantastic, she is glued to the road no matter the curves. The big wheels on the sport give it a fantastic ride, handling and hardly any road noise. The infotainment is the best and largest that we have seen, it also has Apple Carplay and Android. We love our subbie
Dude I love your vids so much dedication you deserve way more subs
Thanks, appreciate it!
Long sleeve shirt?!? When did you record this?!? July's are HELLA hot in PA. Good review as always Sir! 😉
Oh my god, here’s mr gold Pony again,
Can't wait to buy this ! Perfect car for Northern Nevada !
Did the limited version of this car have power driver side seats? or did you have to manually slide your seat back and forth?
There should be a version of this available with the brz engine and a manual slotting in below the WRX.
If the older impreza has more hp and torque than the new impreza but both do 0 to 60 in about the same time does the older impreza still feel more powerful because of its extra hp and torque or is it just a wash?
These sedan Impreza are quite pretty looking in real life, especially in the Crimson Red Pearl color. Actually, like them quite more than the hatch and than the older brother Legacy. The rear end is particularly nice, perhaps one of the best looking of all cars on the market. Well done Subaru designers!
Finally after a couple months of consideration I went to the dealership and ordered the Touring model today! Can't wait to get it in 6-8 weeks.
Hey, is there a large difference between the touring and the convenience?
Can you add a supercharger? I want it to zoom faster than M5
Great review Gold Pony! Gotta love a Subaru!
Do you guys think this car would be good for driving a little over 500 miles a week? I'm trying to find a car with a great price that I can use for work. I want a hybrid but it's a bit to much for my pocket. What you guys think? Thanks !
Thanks for the nice review! I like the color and the interior quality. I think the leather seats look really nice! The exterior of the car doesn't look like this one is going to be the next rally championship winner... :D Great work as always, Andrew! Keep up the good work! :)
Thanks Martin! 😁
I have the 19 Impreza Limited with the Cardone system. Worth the money is an understatement.
Thank you Drew ! Another great review 💥🙏🏽 ! Your # 1
Thanks Jose! 😁
Great review as always! May I just suggest that you change the way you list the available trims, it looks like windows XP! lol maybe the font and/or the box :D
Carlisle, Pa native here! Tuning in from Okinawa. Nice review.
Thanks! 😁
And i am getting mine this monthhhh
Nice! I'll be needing a new car soon, and the Impreza is a contender!
Look for a used WRX instead. The manual gearbox is the same one in the older STI's now.
+Alpha: I can't drive a stick, LOL :-D
It's so easy dude. You can learn in 20 min. I learned on a dirtbike when I was 7 years old. Same concept. Gas off, clutch in....switch gear....clutch out, gas in...simple.
+Alpha: Ha-ha!! I'm a girl, not a Dude, tho.
Ok. dudette. :D
High quality review
Appreciate it!
What is the rpm's at 60 mph top gear cvt?
This is my exact car look. Limited trim and this color! So cool!
Same
The EyeSight features are only on the automatic transmission, not the manual.
Just bought one Saturday! Loooove it!
Which trim?
Hatch or sedan, I'm looking at them for my first car and can't decide which to buy...
@@joespittle1 depends on what you need. Utility with the hatch, more traditional look with the sedan. I went sedan as I liked the look a little more and the space wasnt an issue for me. Hatch also has options for the roof racks.
@@TheKbreezy34 Good points, I personally prefer the design of the hatch a little more and the visibility was better when I sat in one.
I wish subuaru would change their steering wheel design it's been the same forever but I like this car
Nice!
Good review!
Thanks!
This looks like a value for your money
whats new in impreza 2019 when compared to 2018 version
The main difference on the Limited is that Eyesight is now standard; there was a slight price increase because of this.
Good job
I'll buy one with a manual even if i get less mpg. I take the fun over gas milage
One man's fun is another man's chore. I'd take the auto even though I hate CVTs with a passion, manual just isn't worth it when I'm in bumper-to-bumper traffic half the day.
@@nodak81 depends on where you live.
a new 5spd impreza sounds like shit. long rev hangs
I drove manual all my life and when I tested this one and the auto just felt so much better than the stick. We are only talking about 152 hp here so it’s not benefiting from the stick. Just my opinion however.
Does the Premium have push-start??
no
How's the cabin noise for this car?
Very quiet. Have had mine for a month and it is amazingly quiet. Both kn highway and in city with bumps and what not
coming from a snowy climate i love the all wheel drive, but come on Subaru put in some more power!
Trex Dave WRX... you’re welcome.
Rommel the Cat lol, ok. I think you’re thinking of mid 2000’s Civics
Rommel the Cat well, thats your fault for living in that expensive shithole full of kids who’s mommy and daddy buy them everything
Buy a AWD Mazda 3. Problem solved.
Rommel the Cat a $30,000 car is expensive to like 80% of america.
Cool video.
Thanks!
We own 2 imprezas. A 2018 base hatch and a 2022 premium sedan. The 2018 has 69,000 miles on the odometer. Because it is a base, when I replaced my tires, I had to spend to replace the terrible steel wheels and worthless hubcaps. In 69,000 miles, we have lost 12 hubcaps. That’s enough to tell you to get at least the premium trim. Because I had to shell out so much for the wheels, I had to let the 60,000 mile spark plug replacement, sit on the back burner. I was not prepared to put out $800 to replace the spark plugs. The 2.0 engine is just too weak for the car. At least, offer a 2.5. It would give this little gem, much needed umph. Outside of these issues, the Impreza is sweet. My 2022 premium trim sedan, is great. Subaru should discontinue the CD player. And replace it with a heated steering wheel. You get heated seats. That keeps your tush warm. But your hands freeze. Just a thought. We also have a 2020 premium trim Forester. Not one zonk for this perfect vehicle. We love our Forester.
What 's the problem with most people complaining about the CVT no matter what, they woudn' t know the difference if they drive a car with that trans or a traditional one, if more and more car companies are adopting them, it' s because they are more economical and reliable in everyway, so stop whining like babies.
Economical? Yeah, that was the major stated reason behind auto-makers switching to the CVT. High MPG numbers and comparative ease of production. Reliable though? That has yet to be seen since they haven't been the "standard" for more than a few years, apart from hybrids. They are less complex than traditional automatics, so that's a plus, but conversely they are considerably more expensive to repair / replace. Also a some people object to the general "feel" of CVTs, specifically the delay between when you depress the pedal, and when you feel an actual response from the car.
I can’t believe these were the prices of cars back in 2019
Hey Andrew,
Do you Review the new Shelby Super Snake 2019?
ha! If I can find one I will certainly try... The problem is finding one. haha
Gold Pony yeah that’s a big problem
I like this one. Awesome price for what you get.
After taxes and fees this car is about $31,000. You're not getting anything crazy for that high price.
@@RobertNES816 I don't know what you are talking about. I bought this car not to long ago, with the hatch, and it was the limited version and it was only $25,500 brand new?
WTF you talking? $18,500 for the basic version, plus destination fees. $19,500 total.
@@x78340 who wants the basic version?
@@RobertNES816 ??? Many people.
You think i will fit in a car like this looking for a subaru that wont break the bank,6'4 330 lbs
Did you notice, there is a radio station playing in the video. Very annoying.
Why the fuck are there paddle shifters on a CVT?
Solid review, but please keep tabs on how many time you say the word 'actually'.
Actually has recently moved into the top spot of overused words that use to be occupied by the words, 'ya know?'
Appreciate the feedback! 😁
@@goldpony Peace man.
Just test drove one of these today. The acceleration is pretty bad. In comparison to my old 2007 outback with 123k miles my Outback's acceleration is like a sports car lol. Its sluggish and kinda concerning when you need to merge with traffic.
Otherwise this is the PERFECT car! Give this 160 hp/150 tq and drop the weight down to 3000 lbs we would be in business.
@@Tom4AksionIsnt the Impreza 3,000lb anyways?
A better stock tune would work wonders. Subaru tuned the lower rpm range for economy rather than torque. Even the CVT has trouble getting the engine revs up into the power band > 4000 rpm. If it had more torque down low it would have more grunt off the line.
and its hard on brakes
just wanted a BASIC model.
Subaru fa16 and fa20 engines needs multi point injections. Direct injection engines is plagued by carbon build up.
You know what's funny? The direction and temperature knob on this guy is manual. You can literally feel yourself move things behind the dash when you turn the knobs. The fan control knob is electronic though. That said, AWD is important for me and I'll probably get the hatchback sport manual. The outdated climate control aside, the car handles nice and is quiet. Also driver assistance is standard. Source: test drove the 2019 base model.
The outdated climate control will still be working ten years from now when its fancier competitors are stuck in defrost mode!
Malesef türkiyede yok
For the price, just buy a slightly used WRX. I saw one for 21K... I paid 24K out the door for my low mile WRX Limited. No brainer there.
alphazoom II this is an economy car not sports car...
The WRX driven off of boost is same engine dude. You can have good gas mileage for close to the same money. If you want an Impreza and can just pay a few grand extra, no reason not to just get the better car. I've had both and trust me, the Impreza is boring.. I had the 2007 base model. The WRX has much better resale value as well, handles better and has pretty much the same interior. If you give every Impreza owner the choice of going for the WRX for 3K more slightly used instead of brand new, how many out of 100 would say no?
alphazoom II Both of these cars target differently. WRX targets for performance while the Impreza targets for fuel economy. Trying the new Impreza for about a year isn't that bad. The driving experience is really engaging. Not WRX level but better than the previous gen Impreza.
@@alphazoomii9408 At this point the WRX is still on a previous generation platform compared to the Impreza which is on a new chassis. (WRX is still a contender for me but I'm also considering Impreza Sport or Crosstrek.)
Subaru impreza need to 1.5 Turbo engine with low torque start at 1800 rpm
Same as Mitsubishi eclipse cross 1.5T
Sayed Moh'd Sayed Jawad Funny enough we get the most powerful engine choice. Other market have another engine option that has less power.
Double JJ subaru impreza feel slow unlike mitsubishi eclipse cross
Sayed Moh'd Sayed Jawad the Impreza isn't that slow. You want slow? Go to my previous car.
The Impreza needs at least 160 hp and 150 tq and needs to be closer to 3000 lbs. This car handles like a dream and is the best looking compact sedan inside and out next to the much more affordable Mazda 3
Tom4Aksion just add a turbo
@@jonathanharger7430 not needed for only 8 Hp and 5 Tq.
I have been in the market for a Mazda 3. And recently test drive the premium Subaru Impreza. Goodbye Mazda 👋
I have a first generation Mazda3 that's within 200 pounds of the Impreza's curb weight and about 1 hp and 2 ft-lbs different in torque from the 2.3 liter normally aspirated engine. It feels WAY faster. It also snaps the throttle open almost instantaneously and can accelerate up a hill at 35 mph in 4th gear at 2000 rpm. Mazda designed/tuned the engine for drivability over economy, but I can still get 29-30 mpg on long trips. And it's port injected, so the intake is squeaky clean even after 125k miles. It's a delightfully smooth engine that has given me extremely reliable service.
I recently test drove a Crosstrek. The rev hang really is terrible (and even the Mazda has some) and the power just isn't there below 4000 rpm much at all. On the highway I had to shift to third gear to accelerate at all, while my old Mazda can pull adequately in top gear. The Subaru's tune is biased heavily for economy and emissions. A bit more consideration for drivability could help--not increasing max power, but making what power it does have more accessible and less peaky.
This car look super basic on the outside.
Ok car, but completely Stupid remote start on the CVT push start version car. Starting the car remotely, the engine starts normally then we try to get into the car, it shuts down the engine when wee open any door, so we have to restart the engine a second time. The dealers fail to inform their costumers of these "special" features :( . Car has keyless entry, soo this makes no sense. Wearing out the starter and engine for no reason ????!!! A own one :(
That was actually stated on the pamphlet I saw advertising it at the subaru dealership I went to recently. You just didn't read the fine text. I agree that it is stupid though
✌🇩🇪🍻
Now only if they would stop putting toy wheels on them......
It’s best to get aftermarket wheels on these
So this is what the 2020 sti body design will be based off of. Since we all know the wrx and sti body is based on the impreza and since the 2019 impreza sits on subarus new global platform, we can pretty much infer that the 2020 sti will look like this, just with sti styling added to it of course. So, the sti continues to get bigger and uglier. Before we know it, the sti is gonna be a damn SUV or a van 😂
new wheel bearing at 80 k not impressed
Dude. Do you shave your legs?
Lol no
90s Imprezas were pretty damn cool. These new models look bloated and heavy.
well sorry but its not the 80's anymore
@@TheBackwardKid There were no Imprezas back in the 80s...
and what?
@kkthxk 1994 subaru impreza weight: 2300 pounds. 2018 subaru impreza weight 3120. No dumbass, they don´t weigh the same.
@@TheBackwardKid You were wrong, that´s what. Get lost.
I don't understand why all these affordable cars have shit horsepower like come on man, it should at least have 200+. Wtf is 152hp, that's the only thing holding back from buying this
I could even deal with 185
I've got a 13 year old Mazda3 with 151 horsepower, and it's pretty snappy. It has a decently wide power band and instantaneous throttle response which make it feel faster than it is. The weight is pretty close too. I think the issue with the Subaru FB20 engine is the tune. It's pretty dead below 4000 rpm and then wakes up suddenly, so it can be a bit of a slug off the line.
Nice car, but CVT.... ugh. At least it's close to 40mpg.
A lot of people miss that the CVT version actually gets the better awd system (60/40 torque split, clutch-type), faster acting and better economy
What evidence do you have for this supposed lack of CVT robustness?
That 40 mpg is a joke. For 2018, try 22-24 mpg no matter if your on the hwy, freeway or city. Big disappointment.
@@BruceHoult Only from reading about them since they've gone mainstream.
Still a family car, nice for me
Head gaskets have left the engine
no no no
Head gaskets are only an issue on the EJ engines and they're only being used on the WRX STi lmao.
Tiny engine.
Fillup 40 150 hp is quite a bit... 2900 pounds... take the rear seats out front spare tire lighter rims remove power steering bam your at a light crisp 2550 pounds
My Ferrari 911 is better
So ummm why are you looking at a Subaru video??? Pst lmao
I heard these cars have shockingly bad mpg....like worse than advertised.
Really? WHo told u so?
Yes it’s terrible. More like an old truck mpg.
junk
👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 152hp 145tq YUCKKKKKKK
1995 impreza was the uber cool and LIGHT WEIGHT impreza. These new generations are BLOATED and HUGE and FUGLY.
