The 2024 Subaru Impreza RS Previews The Return Of A WRX Hatchback

The #SubaruImpreza has always been the base line for the high-performance WRX and for 2024, the sporty #ImprezaRS trim returns with more power and a design that wouldn’t look out of place wearing a #WRX badge. This marks the return of the larger 2.5L F4 engine in the #Impreza family and it should attract budget shoppers looking for AWD in a small car.

[@KnieperGames]

Have you had any issues since owning?

[@oralpowers7932]

A very thorough review, I've heard the brakes are sensitive, slam the brakes and your through the windshield. But for Canadians this car is appealing especially on price. In the winter real AWD on a small car is a life saver, cloth heated seats are what you want in the winter, the aerodynamics, weight and gas mileage are much better than an SUV. The visiblity is much better than a Prius Prime PHEV, which starts at $50,000 CAD, $5,000 dealer add-on, 2 year wait, front wheel drive only, no rear wiper, disfunctional dash and requires you install a type 2 charger at your home. Notice the $5000 federal government rebate for the PHEV is suckedup by the dealship. Eh if you can afford a Prius Phev you can afford another charger at work, yeah yeah.

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

I will say, I have to give Subaru credit for just improving their vehicles over time. They really focused on quality and while nothing super mind blowing, it's a night and day difference compared to a lot of their older cars. They still keep it simple in this Impreza without any crazy tech, so people can still use this very easily, and the fact that it comes standard with AWD is a big plus, not many compact sedans offer this as standard, so good on Subaru for doing that, their Symmetrical AWD system is pretty good. And of course, I personally enjoy the deep, bassy sound of that classic Subaru flat 4 engine. Sounds really cool. The only real complaint is that the Subaru Starlink system isn't the quickest, so I think Subaru really needs to improve the software to something much faster.

[@dtna]

Subaru vehicles are very dependable. They are 20% owned by Toyota. And use OEM parts made by the same companies.

[@butteryourpopcorn4969]

You can get all these features for $5k less in other cars.

[@BahhJustaLamb]

This car desperately needs the BRZ's version of the 2.4 with 220HP. If they had made an AWD Hatch with 200+ HP to compete against Civic Si and Golf GTI, it would sell like hotcakes. Imagine another revvy, N/A 4 cylinder sport compact with AWD and a manual transmission. Hell, you can even name it the "Impreza 2.4GT" as a tribute to the old Impreza 2.5GT that came with the old WRX engine and 224HP when the 2009 WRX got upped to 265. That would've been perfect, as the new N/A 2.4 could make around 220HP just like the old 2.5GT did. That's what people want (or better yet, a full-on WRX Hatch). But Subaru continuously denies the plethora of hot hatch lovers for some mysterious reason.

The original RS were sedans, the light on mirrors used to be on front quarter panels. I like the evolution.

yeah this is more of a 2.5TS, which was the same as the RS but wagon, and if i remember a bit longer gearing. So, if they had called this a TS I think it would have gotten less hate.

[@Gruntsworth]

Just want to say that as far as fuel economy goes, Subarus improve vastly as they break in. I have a 21 Outback Touring XT, and when I first got it the MPG was terrible. Could only get about 24-25 mpg while using some hypermiling techniques. Others in my family were only averaging about 20 when they drove it. After 8k miles, it increased to roughly 28-29 mpg. Then at 12k it increased to 32+. I now average between 32 and 34 mpg a tank. Granted I also did a lot of testing to learn some of its quirks to get better results over time. I see no reason why you couldn't average close to 40 mpg in the Impreza after break-in.

[@T-003]

💪🏻 Excellent review... Even better Car 😁👌🏻

[@KeithSchwerin]

The RS name is there but the RS spirit isn't. All they really had to do was bump the 2.5 to about 200HP, and give it a 6spd and it would have been a pretty solid revival for the badge. Fun and sensible. Instead it's just an AWD Nisan Altima with a hatch.

Even with AWD I would have a hard time choosing this over a Civic or Mazda3. Even if customers don’t choose leather it should be here since the competition has it. I think the RS should have gone more heard to head with an SI. This is more competing with the Sport Touring trim of the Civic

[@darrengriffith9680]

I have to agree with you. As both a mazda 3 and impreza owner (wife) in my opinion the 3 is leaps and bounds a nicer car and mazda is willing to deal whereas Subaru at least around here has a take it or leave it attitude. The awd in my 3 is just as good or better than the impreza also. My wifes impreza also ate the cvt trans at less than 50k miles but to be fair Subaru was amazing to deal with and gave us a loaner for the duration of the trans replacement, which was about two months.

[@sergeantbigmac]
