I should’ve bought an SUV
Ryan Poole, Bethel Park, PA, 09/19/2022
2017 Subaru Impreza 2.0i 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
Overall the car handles great runs smoothly but it’s loud once it starts up and the fuel economy for a sedan such as this absolutely sucks
Well worth the chance
Colster, Loxahatchee, FL, 08/29/2022
2017 Subaru Impreza 2.0i 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
I love this car. I bought it to just get around town. I like it better than my newer car in New York.
Edmunds Summary Review of the 2017 Subaru Impreza 2.0i Sedan
Pros & Cons
- Pro:Quiet, comfortable and roomy cabin for a compact car
- Pro:Standard all-wheel drive delivers secure handling and wet-weather traction
- Pro:Long list of available safety features
- Con:Slow acceleration even with the new, more powerful engine
- Con:Transmission is loud under heavy loads
- Con:Lower-quality interior materials than those of some rivals
Which Impreza does Edmunds recommend?
With a good combination of available features and a low price point, we recommend the Impreza wagon in Premium trim. It comes with tech features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto just like the base model, but it also adds Subaru's Starlink services and standard roof rails. The Premium is also available with safety features such as blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
Full Edmunds Review: 2017 Subaru Impreza Sedan
Driving
3.5Aside from poor acceleration, the new Impreza performs well. Handling is confident and flat without much body roll. It has responsive brakes, and the steering is quick even in base (i.e., not Sport) trim levels.
Comfort
3.5A relatively quiet and smooth ride (especially on the Premium's 16-inch wheels and tires) makes the Impreza a breeze to drive on the highway. The seats are comfortable and well bolstered, but they are a bit firm for long road trips.
Interior
4.0The new Impreza's interior is a big leap forward for Subaru, but it's still not as nice as the Honda Civic or Mazda 3. Those two vehicles sit right at the head of the class and edge the Impreza out in most categories.
Utility
3.0Of the two available Imprezas (sedan and hatchback), we'd definitely go with the hatch. The sedan we tested has merely average trunk space, but child seat accommodation is excellent.
Technology
Tech is much improved with an all-new touchscreen interface as well as the addition of Apple CarPlay/Android Auto as standard. Our preproduction test car had some issues with Apple CarPlay, but otherwise the base touchscreen is easy to operate and responds quickly to inputs.
