2026 Subaru Impreza review
Subaru Impreza: a sensible pick with a few compromises. Illustrative review
7.6/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Subaru Impreza is a reasonable choice if the price is right. Efficient in mixed driving; comfortable front seats on long trips. Base engine feels adequate, not quick and road noise on coarse pavement, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $24,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.

Bought it for the a long commute and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.
