In order to use CarPlay, I need to plug my iphone into the USB socket, but my size ten hand full of sausage finger won’t fit into the dainty Japanese knick-knack cubby holes. It is about now that a few little annoyances became apparent.

The many other warnings are not meant to take the place of driver awareness, but on a long trip these gadgets become life savers. If you do neither, it bongs at you to alert you to the moving traffic ahead. It tells you that you need to press the accelerator, or press “resume”. A little foot appears on the driver’s instrument panel display. The system might not see a B-Double about to run a red light at a 4-way intersection for example. A human is smarter than most systems and Subaru says the driver will want to confirm the way is safe. If you don’t move off in a few seconds the system goes to stand-by mode which requires the driver to blip the throttle or the cruise control button in order to move off again. The smart cruise also uses the cameras to keep a respectful distance from the car in front and will slow you all the way down to a stop in traffic, all without fuss. This lofty perch affords good views of the way ahead and will see brake lights and pedestrians, and slam on the anchors if needed. The system sits above the rear-view mirror in the top centre of the windscreen and monitors the road ahead. Try finding another brand with stereo cameras. Even high-end Euro brands use radar-like sensors, with very few having cameras. Subaru have every right to be proud of this innovation. Many of these features are provided by Subaru’s stereo cameras Eyesight system.

On the top models, you can expect lots of goodies like: Adaptive Cruise Control with queue assist, Lane departure warning, Lane sway warning, Lead vehicle start alert, Pre-collision braking system, Pre-collision brake assist, Pre-collision throttle management, Pre-collision steering assist, Brake-light recognition, to name but a few. We listed the price and trim level details in our launch article. It feels like it costs far more than it actually does. It is hard to get across in words, but the car looks solid and expensive, and premium. The pert rump sports a smart set of tail lights with LED running lights up front. As handsome as this profile is, the sedan does it for me. The hatch implies a coupe form with a sweeping roof meeting the nipped up waistline at a kink on the “D” pillar.

Not only were our initial impressions confirmed, but Impreza excelled. This is one of the most thorough tests we’ve done and spent a week in each of the three grades. īut what feels great at launch can often feel different when you’re driving it for a week, or three. We were impressed with the new Subaru when we took a turn in it at the local launch (read about it here). To top it off, the Subaru Corporation, nee Fuji Heavy Industries, wrapped a glamorous exterior around a classy cabin, and hey presto, Impreza is reborn. Subaru is the only one in class with AWD making it unique. They took the new Global Platform, glued a 2.0L boxer engine in, attached all 4 wheels to the road via a CVT transmission and symmetrical AWD system. KISS, aka Keep It Simple Stupid, is exactly what Subaru did with the new Impreza. Not so much: stupid menus, difficult to access USB We love: handsome exterior, extensive equipment, Eyesight, single drivetrain option
