5 reasons to buy the 2015 Subaru Impreza

1. Nice driver assistance features 

This version of the Impreza gets a rearview camera. The 2015 Subaru Impreza 2.0i Limited sedans and 2.0i Sport Limited hatchbacks have the option of Subaru’s EyeSight Driver Assist Technology package, which adds low-speed automatic braking. This package also has pre-collision warning, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control. 

2. Fuel-sipping performance 

If you’re a driver who wants a car that’s better on gas, consider the 2015 Subaru Impreza. The 2015 Subaru Impreza AWD and the wagon trims both get an EPA-estimated 36 mpg on the highway and 28 mpg in the city. The continuously variable transmission (CVT) ensures your gear changes are as frugal as possible without impacting performance. 

3. Lots of options 

Before you click to buy the 2015 Subaru Impreza, check out all of the trims and options available. It’s available as a four-door sedan or a five-door hatchback. Each with three trim levels: 2.0i, 2.0i Premium, and 2.0i Limited. Check out the hatchback in the 2.0i Sport Premium and 2.0i Sport Limited trim levels. They all feature the same four-cylinder engine and standard AWD. 

4. Comfy cabin 

 Not only is the 2015 Impreza comfortable for the front-row crew, but your rear passengers will be delighted once they climb into this vehicle. The rear seat is plenty roomy, too. You'll get 43.5 inches of legroom in the front, with 35.4 inches in the rear. Its well-tuned suspension helps prevent passengers from experiencing every bump in the road.  

5. Solid driving experience 

If you’re looking for a passenger-friendly vehicle with great handling, confident braking, and precise steering, consider the 2015 Subaru Impreza. It’s a good car for highway commuting and relatively quiet inside at higher speeds. With AWD on each trim, the Impreza does well getting out of snowy conditions.
