2012 Subaru Impreza Review
![]() |
2012 Subaru Impreza |
Offered in base, Premium, Sport Premium, Limited and Sport Limited models, and the 2012 Subaru Impreza conveys a bolder, more confident design that emphasizes its sporty roots and standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive performance. In profile, the 2012 Impreza draws focus to its wheels with powerful arches, a theme that debuted on the 2010 Subaru Legacy.
Vehicle length and width remain the same as before for both sedan and five-door models, yet, thanks to redesigned door panels, the 2012 Subaru Impreza offers increased hip and shoulder room. Rear seat passengers gain nearly two inches of legroom.
All 2012 Subaru Impreza models add a new drivers knee airbag to the roster of safety features. All Impreza models for 2012 are equipped as standard with Vehicle Dynamics Control, which combines stability and traction control functions. Likewise, all 2012 Impreza models are equipped with a standard 4-wheel disc Anti-lock Brake System with Electronic Brake-force Distribution and the Brake Assist safety system.
Standard comfort and available amenities are increased across the Impreza line for 2012. The base model features a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, power windows, door locks and side mirrors, a 60/40-split fold-down rear seat, outside temperature gauge, a multi-function display with fuel economy information, remote keyless entry system, security system with engine immobilizer, tilt/telescopic steering wheel, variable intermittent windshield wipers and a low windshield washer fluid warning light. Even carpeted floor mats, often an option in many cars, are standard equipment in all 2012 Subaru Impreza models.
Impreza Premium models add 16-inch alloy wheels, steering wheel audio and Bluetooth control switches a rear stabilizer bar for crisper handling, adjustable console armrest, body-color exterior mirrors and chrome interior door handles. A power moon roof and a navigation system are available for the Premium models. The Impreza Sport Premium is a five-door model that combines standard 17-inch alloy wheels and the All-Weather Package with fog lights, roof rails, and unique seat fabric and rocker panel spoilers.
Topping the 2012 Subaru Impreza range, the Limited and Sport Limited models deliver the highest level of comfort and convenience ever offered in an Impreza.
