Today I’m checking out the 2017 Subaru Impreza at the auto show, and this is one car that really caught my attention. If you’re looking for something practical, affordable, comfortable and equipped with all-wheel drive, the Impreza has a lot going for it.
The model I’m looking at starts in the low-$20,000 range in Canada, depending on trim and equipment. For that money, you’re getting a car that could work for a lot of different people — someone heading off to college, a young family, a commuter, or somebody who needs a car capable of handling Canadian weather.
Inside, I really like the layout. The steering wheel has that sporty feel, there’s plenty of legroom, and the dashboard and controls are laid out nicely. I especially like the two-tone trim and the overall quality of the interior. It feels like Subaru put some thought into making the cabin comfortable without trying to make it unnecessarily complicated.
And of course, I had Skinny Pete climb inside for the real space test! He’s my big-guy tester, and if Pete can comfortably fit inside and says he'd consider taking it on a long road trip, that's a pretty good sign. The rear seats also offer plenty of usable room.
For me, this Impreza is about bang for your buck. AWD, good interior space, a clean design, and a price that doesn't immediately put it out of reach.
At the show, I gave it an 8.5 out of 10, and I have to admit — the color helped sell me on it!
If you own a 2017 Subaru Impreza, let everybody know in the comments what you think. Did you buy the base model, Touring, or one of the higher trims?
