The 2024 Subaru Impreza RS is here to revive a forgotten gem. Ever since the Subaru Crosstrek arrived, it's become the vehicle of choice for many buyers in the price range under $30k. However the Impreza RS comes equipped with a more potent powertrain, aggressive looks, and new technology to make it quite the hot hatch in 2023. So let's see how it compares to others in this segment.
Huge thank you to Subaru of Wakefield for letting me stop by to film this 2024 Subaru Impreza!

I think you nailed it. A lot of reviews miss the point. It’s the perfect car all around. And people have no idea how good theses cars are in manual mode because no one tries to drive it that way. I have a 2016. And over 400 rpm’s in manual mode I can overtake any car on the road double time. I can’t imagine what this 2.5 rd feels like on winded forest roads.

@zergilli9719 Год назад

This is the car I'm saving for. Just want something nice. I don't get all the whining. I have a CVT impreza now and it drives fine.

Great review, thank you. More power, bigger brakes, better handling, better sound system, less road noise. I will trade in my 2021 Sport Tech for this one.

It’s a decent affordable vehicle. People need to stop being so damned demanding. If you want more in a vehicle. Spend more money. And stop being so damn whiny. 😤

Great review! Winner if they only would add a donut spare tire and fix the infotainment center to exclude the HVAC control add physical tactile dials. I'm looking to replace my 2012 Impreza within the next 2-4 years.

@msmarshall854 Год назад

Thank you for the great review, got a question: do you know if the rear headrest are removable?

@tpolerex7282 Год назад

All three are removable but the seats fold down fine with the tall, outboard ones in place. Visibility out back with them in place is still excellent, just the very extents of the rear hatch window are blocked at all.

@jvazquez7160 Год назад

I would buy it with 6 speed manual

@cass2303 Год назад

What colors do they have?

@ryaiariot 5 месяцев назад

While I really want this car, that infotainment is goofy and feels like a liability for distracted driving. It's even funnier when you mention that Subaru is adamant not doing a full digital gauge cluster, but makes its infotainment practically a tablet with very few physical buttons.

@gohan2355 Год назад

I can't praise this car enough. Alone this car is 10% off from being perfect and that's mind boggling. I really do love this car it's just my patience grows thin because I want my impreza rs already. They did an excellent job on everything they did to this car, I really really love hatchbacks, and this car from every single review I seen this is straight forward F.U.N my car impreza rs is in crystal white pearl, few STI parts because a subaru doesn't look right till you add STI parts then it looks like a subaru that I know of. (When i ordered this car they didn't let he have every single STI part possible and they shown the car off in Tokyo of 2023 at the car show with every single STI part that I know of and put it on the car, I wanted the whole thing when I was ordering it because that RS looks amazing with all the STI parts on it. I wish I got the strut bar but they didn't have the option available when I was ordering pretty bummed about it but I do have the STI spoiler so yeah. Glad I can say I have an official STI part on my car and love it.)

How long did they say it would take to get your RS once you ordered it?!

@theamazinggoldfish8713 Год назад

Just plan on placing an spare tire on top of your car because, you don't have one in the 24's.

@WES_5150 Год назад

Ive had probably a dozen cars in my ilfe and Ive never needed a spare tire. Knock on wood.

@thirstyprogram2605 Год назад

this will end up being a 40k car at the dealer. not really a budget car at that point.

@WES_5150 Год назад

I just bought one two days ago with the power package, etc... its the most you can get delivered, I live in Chicagoland, sticker was $31,696, I paid $30,696 (yep dealer actually took money off).

@@WES_5150How are you liking this car so far? Any downsides? How well does it do in inclement weather, since the car looks like it sits a bit low?

@WES_5150 11 месяцев назад

@@St23-sd9qr Its great actually. I have owned many hatchbacks and in the past was not impressed with the Imprezza so never had one before. They used to be very plain inside, but this 2024 model they spruced it up esp with this RS. Found the sweet spots to accelerate nicely despite the CVT - used to that from other CVT's. Its a great all around vehicle. Very comfortable seats, roomy in theback and lots of space with the seats down. The Harmon Kardon stereo sounds REALLY good. Its handling is superb. Again, got it July 1st, have 1600+ mostly local miles and Im at 28.2 MPG so far - All automatic / intelligent mode driving. No inclement weather here yet, will see about that in the winter

@St23-sd9qr 11 месяцев назад

@WES_5150 Awesome. I'm definitely interested in one also. Let us know how it does in inclement weather, whenever you get to that point.

@@ag3210 still not enough space for a full size spare unless you modify the cargo floor (which I did in my Impreza)

@davidthatcher8362 Год назад

@@dantoine0 I have recently had the spark plugs replaced in my 2018 Impreza. I don't think they dropped the engine as the labour charge was I thought quite minimal. This was from my local Subaru dealership so I guess they have the tools and experience to do the job in an efficient manner. And I have changed the spark plugs myself in a previous Legacy wagon.

@@dantoine0NOT true at all! I've changed the plugs myself on my wife's 2.5 outback and my own 2.0 impreza. Takes about 1.25 hours, and I'm not a mechanic and i am slow. It's not hard at all.
