2015 Subaru Impreza 2.0i Premium

It's a smooth, sure-footed ride, especially in rain or snow, and the steering feels direct enough to make corners fun. Inside, you get a roomy cabin for a small car, with a big trunk and fold-flat rear seats that make it easy to haul gear. Owners report few issues, though some mention road noise at highway speeds and stock tires that wear out quicker than expected. This Premium trim adds alloy wheels and a better sound system over the base 2.0i, making it the pick if you want a bit more comfort without stepping up to the Sport. The 2.0L I4 paired with the automatic transmission and all-wheel drive delivers predictable power for daily driving, with enough punch for merging and passing.
