I didn't think I would ever say these words in my life but the new gen CVT tranny isn't any slouch either. Of course at 152HP it is no speed demon but for a sporty and fun grocery getter it works just fine.
The quality, fit, finish and appointment of the interior and body panels is so far ahead of the previous gens that it can be hard to remember that it is a Subaru.
The appearance is a bit mundane from the sides and rear but no doubt that will be beefed up a bit when they make the upgraded version.
A WRX or STi version will be very popular I am sure (even if they will be marginally bigger yet again).

That's nice to know. My wife and I will probably be test driving one soon along with a Forester XT. She's had her Focus ST for 4 years now and it's just time for something new. The new Impreza has a lot of nice tech in it and the interior is a nice improvement from the looks of it. The Apple CarPlay is nice because it means you don't have to spend the money for Subaru's subpar nav system, because you just use the maps on the iphone.
I love that it's standard too. BMW charges $350 extra for it on their cars, because apparently they can't include it on a car with a $50,000 price tag
