The Subaru Impreza sedan exists in the shadow of the WRX, which is unfair. It is a different car for a different buyer. The S trim, the range-topper for the standard sedan, asks around $35,000 for all-wheel drive, a respectable safety suite, and the kind of reliability record that keeps residuals honest.
Simone reviews it as a daily proposition. The AWD system is the main reason to pick this over a front-wheel-drive competitor, especially for buyers in Victoria and Tasmania where the roads get slippery. The engine is not exciting, the styling is conservative, and the cabin materials are functional rather than premium. It drives tidily without inviting enthusiasm.
The Impreza sedan is a hard car to fall in love with but an easy car to live with. If AWD traction and long-term reliability matter more than design flair, there is a reasonable argument here. It will not make headlines, but it will not cause problems either.
