How it scores for you10 scores
A crash-test standout with rock-solid reliability and standard AWD, though modest 152 hp, a droning CVT, and tight cargo mark it as a practical commuter, not a thrill.
Recalled about half as often as cars of the same model years; none of its 2 recalls were serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted +4 points for its wider reputation.
5-star overall NHTSA crash rating (frontal 5, side 5, rollover 5).
About $2,250 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 65% of cars we track.
20.1 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 31% of other hatchbacks we track.
Roomy for a compact hatch with 20.1 cu ft cargo expanding to 54.4 folded, seating five. Practical and slightly above typical for the class.
152 hp is modest and the CVT prioritizes efficiency over engagement. Standard AWD gives sure-footed grip, but the Impreza is a practical commuter, not a spirited driver's car.
Recent gen adds a larger touchscreen and Subaru's EyeSight suite, keeping it segment-typical, but interface and features aren't class-leading versus newer rivals.
Reasonable ride quality and supportive seats for a compact, though modest power and CVT drone under acceleration are known traits. Roughly segment-average.
Typical resale value for a hatchback.
No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
