5 reasons to buy the 2014 Subaru Impreza

1. Roomy interior 

The 2014 Subaru Impreza offers generous space for occupants (two-legged and four-legged) and cargo. Ample headroom and legroom (39 inches and 43.5 inches respectively) make it an easy choice if you’re looking for a family-friendly vehicle. The hatchback trim has 22.5 cu-ft cargo space with all the seats in place and 52.4 cu-ft when the rear seats are flattened. There’s plenty of space for sports equipment, friends, pets, and big shopping hauls. 

2. You want all-wheel drive 

You might be looking for AWD capabilities to help get around in the snow or crummy weather conditions, or maybe you’re looking for a car that can handle moderate off-roading. In either case, the 2014 Subaru Impreza is a good choice. The standard AWD gives you plenty of options, no matter what the road throws at you. 

3. Good steering 

The Subaru Impreza has steady handling, meaning it'll be easy for your teenager or your senior parents. Precise steering and a secure ride—even over bumpy pavement—will help you feel even more confident behind the wheel. If you're looking for a dependable car that will go the distance, look into a 2014 Impreza. 

4. Frugal performance 

If you're looking to reduce your time spent at the pump, a more economical vehicle like the Impreza is good to consider. The 2014 Subaru Impreza AWD and the wagon trims get an EPA-estimated 35 mpg on the highway and 27 mpg in the city with a 2.0L four-cylinder engine.

The continuously variable transmission contributes to the Impreza's fuel-sipping credentials. 

 5. Plenty of options 

The 2014 Subaru Impreza comes in quite a few trims with manual and automatic transmission options. Trims include sedan and hatchback versions in 2.0i, 2.0i Premium, and 2.0i Limited trim levels. The hatchback additionally comes in 2.0i Sport Premium and 2.0i Sport Limited trims. Be on the lookout for Premium, Limited, and Sport Limited trims, which can be found with an optional sunroof and a navigation system package, a rearview camera, voice controls, and more.
