The turbo is reserved for the WRX. The WRX used to be the Impreza WRX. Now, the WRX is its’ own model. The WRX comes standard with the 6-speed MT.

I still dislike the hvac controls in the touch screen. Personal opinion is it's a deal breaker. Didn't like it on a wrx test drive, but everything else on these new platforms are done so well.

Temp, defrost are physical buttons, fixed fan speed buttons and AC on the bottom of the screen are always there and easy to pop, an infrequent venture into the main HVAC is easy to fat finger any function in a second.

That CVT drone just kills the fun. If Subaru was willing to introduce something like VW's DSG transmission, this car would probably be more fun to drive. Thanks for the review!

A solid review to say the least! Really appreciate a very detailed and easy to understand overview of features, driving dynamics and components. Do you feel that this RS will be able to do a quick pass(other cars) on the freeway if need be or is there lack of power?

I appreciate that this model hasn't been covered w/ so much cheap side cladding like their other models. I like the tablet layout. This may be tempting in a northern, heavier snowfall state. I would like to see MSRP w/ sunroof & audio package. Here in the southeast its is priced too close to Mazda 3 or Civic Touring/hatch where AWD is wasted just adding weight & burning more gas.

As an owner of a 2016 Imprezza, I've found that jamming your foot on the gas and just leaving it down isn't the way to drive a CVT (a Subaru one at least). You put the gas down and then let up to allow the CVT to catch up to the engine, and then put it down further but not all the way down. It's almost like playing a video game in real life. You'll get a faster response than just jamming the pedal down.

Oh yeah, that infotainment is nuanced, alright. As much as I want to like this car, the infotainment (not to mention it's vertical instead of horizontal), only black/red and only cloth interior, and poor mileage despite having a cvt compared to an awd 2.5 mazda 3 with a traditional auto, along with no spare tire just sours my taste for this. I'd rather get mazda3, or a civic hatch which I have been eyeing. I don't HATE the car, but I'm not particularly really interested in it unless I wanted to offroad this more than my regular camping trips. Nice video, though.
@jasonmoyer
@jasonmoyer Год назад
I still don't know who this car is for. People who want a cheap AWD car with a CVT are just going to get a regular Impreza or Crosstrek. If it had a stick, I could see it being a nice all-weather enthusiast daily for people who don't want to drive a WRX or BRZ to work every day.

Sam I've watched many reviews on the 24 Impreza RS and I really like the newer body style and added HP. My big complaint is the " No Spare Tire " ???? What happens when you hit debris or tear the sidewall while in the middle of nowhere ? I don't think the provided inflator kit would be much help. I have commented about this on other blogs and people say if you want a spare, just throw one in the rear hatch. Are there any provisions to have a spare in the RS ? It's a game changer as I don't want to be on a long trip without a spare and guess I will keep my 2020 Impreza premium as it has a nice matching spare.
