Like most cars in its class, the Impreza will be offered with a choice of two transmissions, a manual or an automatic. And if you choose the automatic, there's no sacrifice in fuel economy. It gets 36 MPG on the highway. There's no economy pack, or extra bit of technology you have to spend another $2,000 to get. No, this is 36 MPG, right out of the box.
You need balance and an even distribution of power for maximum
traction, instead of the slip-then-grip alternative. Every Subaru comes
standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive for better stability,
efficiency and a quicker response to slippery conditions.
