- If you want all-wheel drive in your budget-priced compact sedan or hatchback, the Subaru Impreza is just about your only choice. But is there more to the Impreza than just a class-exclusive drivetrain? KBB's Micah Muzio investigates.

These are really easy to drive. Test drove one a while back, there's practically no adjustment needed unlike other cars and their interiors. This car is really just get in and go, and all the controls are intuitive. The visibility outwards is excellent, it has standard symmetrical AWD, only like 1 or 2 mpg less than a FWD Civic (which doesn't even come as a hatch) and it has the highest safety records for its class.
Great review as always. There are so many of these types of channels and most I can't stand to watch anymore.
that's not a jetta in the picture, its the US passat. time to whip the interns !!
I'm imprezed
HA
GOOD ONE
I've been looking at starting cars. This one is on my list at the moment. Thank you for the video.
Great review! Getting this car in about a week.
You can get eyesight on the Premium model too. It's "option 16". Includes Eyesight, moonroof, 6 speaker system, 7" infotainment system, and leather wrapped steering wheel & accents.
I just bought a used one with only 22k on it. Had it less than a week, am totally in love with it :-)
How has it been?
Totally fun to drive, maneuver, and kill hills in my 5-speed 2016 2.0i! Great car and looking forward to enjoying it for many years to come.
In the UK we never got the 2 litre. Only came with the 1.6 which I had, and although it was a great sounding engine with the five speed box, it really needed another 30+ BHP.
The 2016 impreza sport 4 door is the one i'm considering buying. Honestly I wish more than anything it was at these ridiculously low american prices. Here in Canada's it's much higher. Manual to CVT is nearly 3000 more.
I rented the Subaru Impreza (hatchback version) for a weekend bowling tournament. It drove surprisingly good. Don't sleep on this vehicle. This is the sleeper in the compact car class.
a sleeper? wow
Eyesight was one of my favorite features, it never engaged on a test drive, but the fact it's offered in the compact class is an excellent option. Traffic has been getting worse for all the places on main highways and back roads which pushed the idea of the Impreza. It's still very high on my shopping list. Right now it's that and the Mazda 3.
+Guy Portmonteau I'm actually thinking the same, except I'm more concerned about the CVT noise during normal acceleration or passing at highway speeds. People are claiming it to be annoyingly loud.
They showed a picture of a vw passat when they mentioned the Jetta near the end
Nice touch. "All Wheel Dr... Eyesight!" XD
Im thinkin of gettin a 2015 or 2016 impreza, or maybe a 2016 Golf. Any other suggestions of good hatchbacks? Or what you would choose out of the two? What price would i be looking at a month if leased or financed?
What subaru needs is a hatchback WRX turbo that provides automatic which is this CVT BS but a proper 6/7 speed or even a DCT.
Eyesight is not limited to the Limited. I have it in the Premium trim.
Implied outdoorsiness. Savage.
I need to test drive this car myself with the CVT when it comes to normal acceleration city vs. highway.. I'm really hoping it's not as loud as what everybody claims.
+ajoh432 I test drove this model. You will receive wind noise depending how fast you go or how windy it is. Engine noise depends on how much RPM you input but it's not that loud compared to older cars.
I just got a 2016 impreza sport premium wagon and the road noise is loud. The lag of the cvt when first shifted into gear is horrible. I just hope the cvt transmission last longer than my car loan! Because getting a replacement cvt cost about $8-10k
just sold mine for a nissan rogue sl, and i miss it already
this is my dream car. i wanna buy this when i turned to 18
Me two I'm 15 got one more year
Stay is school...
@Christopher Burns lol
buy now beacause is the las model built in japan, the new looks a pussy mazda
mazda 3 is a normal car with a freak noise in the cab
Just got my car 4 days ago. I love it to death. Really have no complaints.
Any problems with oil consumption?
+Christopher Burns Nope. I haven't seen a single drop.
J Dreamliner.collector I've read about the horror stories with the 2012 and 2013 Imprezas and Crossteks, I don't want any part of that. That's why you see so many of that era on the used lot. I'm glad it's fixed.
eyesight can be in the premium not just the limited
I bought a WRX and the power delivery is fantastic! Yes, it was over $33k....but I'm worth it! :)
I LOVE my Impreza!
That's a Passat
Abraham Hernandez they're pretty much the same thing (style wise) now aren't they?
the shirt matches the car
getting this car in 2 days
I have this model in the UK. If I could I would have the new Outback.
"The steering feels good, I'm using it right now"
Why must the Mazda 3 loaded with adaptive cruise cost $29,000. It should cost what an impreza costs and it would be successful.
he's northbound on the 405 in Long Beach
For anyone wondering, the manual has decent acceleration. Not amazing, but good enough. Also, wind noise isn't bad at all, but road noise is significant.
+Peter Schmidt.... i owned this 2015 MT impreza, 1st and 2nd gear are still a bit underpower.But still it is a great car!
1m2wgood 2nd gear has plenty of power once you get above 2200RPM
Reversing camera?
make sure you keep a case of oil in the trunk .
+Marktuyet Make sure you look at Consumer Reports before making a comment.
I would get this or an Elantra
That was a picture of a VW Passat not a Jetta
Is this automatic?
So, I'm interested in getting a hatchback. What are some other good ones? I hear good things about the Elantra GT. Hoping Honda shows off the 5 door hatchback Civic soon.
+SKEMETUBE The Elantra GT has terrible fuel economy in the real world. The Mazda3 if you want something fun but don't care about refinement. The Golf if you're willing to shell out a bit more cash, or the Focus if you can't afford the Golf but want something comfortable and stylish.
+ChooChooTrain02 how mad is the fuel economy? I just want a hatchback that is reliable, fuel efficient and can be fun to drive. I hear a lot of bad things about the Ford Focus.
The Elantra GT gets in the mid 20s in terms of MPG and it isn't all that fun to drive. The Mazda3 fits your description perfectly.
+ChooChooTrain02 does the Mazda 3 have good rear leg room and cargo space? I have a daughter so I'd like it to be a bit roomy in the back for the car seat. Thanks for all your input!
Rear legroom should be fine. The backseat is adequate, so two adults can fit in comfort, and a third person can be squeezed in for shorter rides.The cargo space in the back is pretty good, but the top of the bumper does stick up a bit so you can slide out your stuff. For door storage there's a bottle holder and a very small pocket.
Lovely
can't wait for the 2017 redesign with 1.6 turbo boxer engine 168hp will be more competitive and efficient
Any idea when we get to see it?
+EllysaE March 23 NY auto show
+Luke Hoisington where is the proof?
+E Queezy I Google info on it a few times a week and I saw a thing on Google news that it will be released at the auto show. I'm not 100% sure for the turbo but I know at least a more powerful 2.0 with 160hp will be offered
Luke Hoisington I see the 1.6 turbo and 2.0 just not the horse power it will have lol
Is the seat higher from the floor in Crosstrek than in Impreza?
No. But the Crosstrek's ride height is 4 inches taller than that of the Impreza.
I sat in the Crosstrek and the seat was somehow higher than the regular sedans, close to the position of an SUV. Good to know Impreza got the same seating position. Interestingly, from Subaru main site the Impreza has more rear leg room than the XV. It says Impreza min. rear leg room 1105mm, XV min rear leg room 900mm.
1:30 bump. D'oh!
I can't decide; Mazda 3 hatchback or the Subaru Impreza hatchback? 😭
Ashley Pikachew I'd get the Mazda, but here in Colorado I'd love to have a Subaru. it'll give me peace of mind in the snow
Cristian Games I went to Subaru today to check out the new Impreza's and I'm convinced to get the Subaru HAHA. but thank you tho!!
Ashley Pikachew mazda 3
3:47 Couldn't agree with you more.
21. Ever heard of grammar?
[ ] Yes
[x] No
tell me again how a CVT automatic is more efficient than a manual? Aren't manuals by definition more efficient? Genuine doubt..
Cvt's have gear ratios that can adjust on the fly. With a manual you may have to rev the engine to get to say a. Certain speed before up shifting but a cvt will just expand the gears keeping the revs low and engine load low.
+Gandhar Kothi CVT transmissions do not have any gears. They can emulate gears like a conventional automatic transmission.
Tracy Nine sorry yeah that's what I meant by gear ratios, they emulate gear spectrums
+Siddesh I believe the most important thing is that it uses 100% of the engine power, 100% of the time... Also, is more fuel efficient than geared transmissions.

Biker at 4.42 going handsfree!
"1st", "2nd", and "3rd" Posts are stupid. Just stop.
says the dumb one
+BWX I don't see that in the video. Please post time locations. Thanks
+M DOSD What? Posts.. I said Posts. As in... posts.
+BWX 4th!
+TheMightyWill "4th" posts are sooo cool though!
I'd prefer the WRX STI.
I would go with the XV instead.......better looking and sit higher.
Road noise is ridiculous on these things. Back to VW I go!
0:16 wth was that 😂😂😂😂
It's not called the WRX STI anymore, just STI please.
No it is still the WRX STI. I'm guessing your thinking Subaru no longer calls the WRX the Impreza WRX
Wrong, they drop the Impreza title but the STI is still named after the WRX.
www.motorauthority.com/news/1067665_new-wrx-dropping-impreza-name-getting-own-platform-report
Wrong. Wrx is separate from the impreza now. So it used to be impreza wrx sti. Now its wrx and wrx sti..
Why would a car be named ONLY with the acronym of the division that developed it? That's like calling a C63 just a Mercedes AMG. It's still a WRX. However I still can't stop using the Impreza name in front
Bought a 2016 Impreza Sport Premium. Worst car I've ever own. There are so many things wrong with it, it's borderline funny.
What did you dislike about it ? I'm thinking of getting one.
4:39 screw the impreza even if I like the car! BRAAAAAP no hands
1500 Miles to a quart of oil !
WOW! he looks good in those snug jeans !
This model prone to excessive oil consumption.
boring interior but they do have a cult following
sportsMike87 Subarus, in general, do.
