2011 Subaru Impreza Review
The 2011 Subaru Impreza is an ideal vehicle for running around town while still being comfortable on the freeway with trucks and big SUVs. This Subaru is a superb car; the Impreza offers good value, considering its all-wheel-drive. The sedan and the hatch each have their merits. The 170-horsepower engine can handle all the needs of a car like this. The 2.5GT model is easy to drive and very entertaining. It's solid, safe, and simple, with the added attraction of all-wheel drive, so it's ready for any road driving condition. For the Impreza's major change in 2011, Subaru will drop the color Newport Blue in favor of Marine Blue Pearl and Sky Blue Metallic, so all you Newport Blue fans are out of luck. The fuel economy rating for the 2011 Subaru Impreza is quite impressive among its class. It can produce an average of 19 miles per gallon and 26 miles per gallon while driving on the city and highway, respectively. This one is also equipped with a wide range of safety features such as stability control, front-seat side airbags, side curtain airbags, antilock disc brakes, and front head restraints.
2011 Impreza Lineup
The Impreza 2.5i sedan offers a four-door model with a 170-horsepower, 2.5-liter boxer four-cylinder, along with a five-speed manual transmission. A four-speed automatic adds an extra $1000 to the price tag, while opting for the four-door hatchback body style runs an additional $500. The base 2011 Impreza 2.5i sedan carries a base price of $18,290, including a $795 destination fee. That
Pricing for the 2011 Impreza 2.5i Premium starts at $19,290, while the hatchback adds an extra $500 to that figure. Premium models include aluminum wheels, a leather-wrapped shift knob and steering wheel, with the latter featuring integrated audio controls. Those switches control a new standard audio system, which incorporates Bluetooth phone connectivity and audio streaming, a USB audio input (which can control iPods), and six upgraded speakers.
The Power Moonroof Value Package adds the all-weather package (which throws in heated seats, side mirrors, and windshield wiper de-icers), fog lamps, and heated front seats.
As for the mechanical features, Subaru Impreza 2011 is equipped with a 2.5-liter V4 engine that can produce up to 170 horsepower. The transmission option comes with both automatic and manual options. The manual transmission offers five-speed setting along with a hill-start assist, meanwhile the automatic transmission offers up to four-speed setting. The acceleration capacity of this vehicle is quite impressive as it can reach sixty mph within 4.5 seconds. The Impreza has a smooth highway ride and responsive cornering, thanks in some part to its relatively long wheelbase (103.1 inches), and the low engine placement, possible because of the horizontally opposed position of the four cylinders. This lowers the center of gravity and improves the balance, contributing to agile cornering. What's more, the Impreza shares the quick WRX steering rack, with 2.8 turns lock-to-lock, and a tight 34.8-foot turning circle.
The Impreza comes in 4-Door sedan and 5-Door hatchback versions. The styling of the five-door is edgier, while the four-door sedan looks more traditional. The hatch is a bit sportier, shorter in overall length, with a shorter rear overhang. Short overhangs suggest better handling and the shorter overall length is useful in tight parking confines. The hatch is also much more practical with its large cargo capacity.
Inside the '11 Impreza, there's good headroom, front and rear and hip and shoulder room are decent. Rear-seat legroom at 33.5 inches is a pretty slim stat. The rear seatback angles are reclined, and the rear doors open wide, 75 degrees, so ingress and egress is easy. Rearview vision is adequate for a hatchback but by no means great. The interior has a businesslike austerity to it. Metallic inlays flank the center controls, and the center console houses an optional navigation system. All models come with a 60/40-split fold-down backseat. The hatch gets a cargo area cover and tie-down hooks. Cargo capacity after the 60/40 rear seats are dropped is excellent for a car of the Impreza's size, although not nearly as spacious as a longer Subaru Legacy wagon. Because the sedan is 6.5 inches longer than the 5-Door, it has a large and deep trunk.
Safety equipment on all Impreza models includes the Subaru Advanced Frontal Airbag System featuring side-impact air bags, as well as full-length airbag curtains. Active safety features include ABS with Electronic Brake-Force Distribution and Brake Assist, electronic stability control with traction control, all-wheel drive. The Impreza earned Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) with the highest rating in frontal offset, side and rear impact tests. The 2011 Impreza's most notable edge is its distinctive powertrain, as this model has always been available with all-wheel drive. This provides it with extra traction in slippery conditions and, on higher-horsepower models, works in combination with the Impreza's well-sorted chassis to provide entertaining handling. The Impreza has always been powered by its unusual horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine, which emits a distinctive growl during acceleration. Competitive in most other respects save fuel economy (blame all-wheel drive for that), the Impreza is an excellent choice for a small sedan, wagon or hatchback.
