Subaru Impreza

There are a variety of models with a rock-bottom base price, many of which also get good gas mileage — see our top 10 cheapest new cars on the market.

The redesigned Subaru Impreza enters the 2024 model year as a hatchback-only offering, as the sedan variant is discontinued.

Even as big SUVs and pickups continue to outsell their smaller counterparts, most of the new vehicles showcased at the 2022 Los Angeles Auto Show are compact or subcompact cars.

The 2024 Impreza leans into its sporty past while at the same time admitting something car enthusiasts have been screaming for years: Hatchbacks are fun.

The 2024 Impreza drops the sedan body style entirely, leaving only a five-door hatchback, while trading the fifth-gen’s Premium and Limited trims for the return of the higher-performance RS.

A common belief is that larger, higher-riding vehicles are better equipped to protect occupants in a crash, but the latest series of crash tests from IIHS challenge that viewpoint.

More than 188,000 Impreza sedans and hatchbacks are being recalled for damaged light reflectors.

The list of new cars with manual transmissions skews mostly to affordable models and those that are more enthusiast-oriented, but there’s still a decent range of choices.

Depending on the model, buying a car with a manual transmission can save shoppers anywhere from $800 to $5,500 (if it grants you any savings at all).

Subaru’s Impreza compact sedan and hatchback return for 2023 largely unchanged — except for their prices, which all increase by $525.
