2011 Subaru Impreza 2.5i Premium

It's known for confident all-weather grip, and the steering and brakes feel reassuring in snow or rain. The cabin is roomier than the exterior suggests, and the hatchback version swallows a surprising amount of cargo. Stepping up to the Premium adds the hatchback body style and a few extra comfort touches over the base 2.5i. The 2.5L I4 makes 170 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque, and with the five-speed manual and all-wheel drive you get that confident all-weather grip for 22 mpg combined. This trim opens up options like a power moonroof and all-weather package that the base 2.5i doesn't offer.
