It blends everyday usability with a degree of character, and while it doesnt transform the humble Impreza into a performance car, it adds just enough flair to raise its appeal.Right away, the fact that every Impreza comes with all-wheel drive gives it a distinct advantage over most compact cars. In rainy, snowy, or slippery conditions, the Sport trim feels especially confident. The Sports suspension is slightly firmer and tuned to reduce body roll, and with wider tires and more aggressive camber, it aims to feel sharper through corners. That said, steering feedback is still on the mild side compared to more sporty competition, but its improved over earlier generations.Power comes from a 2.0-liter Subaru Boxer 4-cylinder engine, now refreshed with direct injection and small tweaks, producing 152 horsepower and about 145 lb-ft of torque. Acceleration is modest060 mph takes in the ballpark of 9 seconds in ideal conditionsbut its sufficient for daily driving. The CVT (called Lineartronic) is the likely match for most buyers, and in higher trims it features simulated shift steps and paddle shifters. The manual 5-speed remains available on some versions. Fuel efficiency is respectable: in CVT-equipped sedans, EPA ratings approach 28 mpg city / 38 mpg highway. In Sport versions, slight changes to tire size and tuning bring those numbers to about 27 city / 36 highway.Inside, the Sport trim differentiates itself with unique visual touchesblack cloth seats with red contrast stitching, red accents on the dashboard, shift boot, and doors, and Sport gauges and displays. The drivers cockpit has been more thoughtfully arranged than in prior Imprezas, with better mate
