The Subaru Impreza is a compact car that competes against cars like the Honda Civic and Mitsubishi Lancer but offers its own advantages. The Subaru name isn’t as well known as some of the other big boys but the Impreza is a rock solid vehicle. It combines sportiness with utility to create a car that can take the kids to school and then head straight to the track and put up some impressive numbers.
Unlike most vehicles in the compact car class, all 2010 Subaru Impreza models come stock with all wheel drive. This gives the car great handling but sacrifices a little on gas mileage. All Subaru Impreza models can be purchased in both Sedan and hatchback models. Overall, the 2010 Subaru Impreza has received favorable reviews from a variety of sources.
The Subaru Impreza WRX is technically an Impreza but deserves its own section. The WRX is a powerful sports car that comes stock with a turbo-charged drive train, wider tires, larger brakes and many more features. It can also cost up to $10,000 more than normal Subaru Imprezas.
All Subaru dealers in the greater Denver area carry the 2010 Impreza, and some 2009 Impreza models can still be found – for some great deals. 2011 models will not arrive for several months still, so the 2009 and 2010 models are the ones to get right now.
Also, there is a special 2.9% finance deal for 2010 Impreza models right now. For more information, read our Denver Subaru finance deals page.
