Starting your sedan research? Considering the Subaru Impreza vs. Toyota Corolla is a great place to begin

Conflicted over the tough choice of the next sedan you will drive for years to come? It happens. But thankfully, the team here at Suburban Subaru has your back. We decided to help you narrow down your research by comparing two different models, the Subaru Impreza and Toyota Corolla, to see which vehicle best suits you and your driving needs in Vernon, CT. We're happy to share with you the results of our findings, which can hopefully provide a clear blueprint on what you should expect out of your next automotive investment.

All-wheel-drive

You may be surprised at the fact that a sedan come standard across the board in symmetrical all-wheel-drive, but the Subaru Impreza proudly holds this honor as a vehicle well-equipped to manage changes in the seasons. Here in Connecticut, we can expect variations of snow, rain and slush to impact the roads we drive on throughout the year, and this rare traction commodity in the Impreza certainly elevates it to an elite status among the sedan segment.

Interior Space

Space in a sedan is everything. Some sedans can feel very boxed in and crammed, making you ready to get your drive over with instead of relishing in the experience. The Impreza prides itself on spaciousness and a comforting interior that is welcoming, featuring more front leg, head and shoulder room than the Corolla so both the driver and front passenger stay content in the moment. Seating three in the back isn't a problem either, with more rear hip room helping provide you plenty of your own room.

Performance

Engines are critical to success on the road, with the engine of the Impreza resulting in more burst and acceleration than that of the Corolla. With a 2.0-liter that offers more horsepower and torque for you to work with while navigating traffic, driving on the interstate, and commuting to work, you'll be satisfied with the capability of this Subaru model.

Safety

Sedans are great vehicles for families, which means that safety is an even more pivotal factor at play. The Impreza and Corolla both earned a perfect five stars in overall safety crash test rating, but the Impreza edges its opponent out in the rollover rating department.

   

Inform your Sedan Research with a Subaru Impreza and Honda Civic Comparison

Ever approach a decision in your life you have to make and just wish you had more information? It could be anything from the restaurant you're choosing to eat at for the night, up to something much more critical such as the college you choose to attend. Arming yourself with as much information in these instances as possible, however big or small, is critical to success in making a decision that is right for you.

Here at Suburban Subaru, we're dedicated to providing this level of useful information when it comes to the next sedan you will buy, so you can feel well-versed in every prospective vehicle's qualities and weighing the different pros and cons with precision. That is why we decided to take two highly sought-after sedans, the Subaru Impreza and Honda Civic, and paint a realistic picture of why we believe one of these models may be right for you over the other.

Interior Comfort

Front leg room, head room and a significant uptick in back seat hip room accompany the Impreza, but are noted at a lesser extent in the Civic. Stretching out over the wheel and with your foot on the pedal, the last thing you want to be considering are some aches and cramps in your legs, and this level of extended comfort that reaches back to your passengers in the rear can't be taken for granted.

All-Wheel-Drive

Seasons change at the blink of an eye here in Connecticut, and snow will be firmly planted on both the ground and the roads before you know it. To properly prepare ourselves, we need sedans that can firmly grip to the roads and deliver dynamic traction when prompted. The Impreza does just that, coming standard in symmetrical all-wheel-drive. This is a very unique characteristic to hold for a sedan, one perfect for the seasonal conditions we routinely face here in our state.

Performance

The 2.0-liter engine in the Impreza produces more torque than that of the Civic, an important distinction when considering the many times you need to get moving at a steady rate during your daily commutes. An engine with added support is an engine you can depend upon, and the Impreza certainly has one.
