Ever wondered what it would feel like to slip behind the wheel of a compact that breaks the mold? Buckle up, as we take the fully redesigned 2024 Subaru Impreza RS for a spin, a vehicle that's tossing its sedan legacy to the curb in favor of a hatchback — or should we say 'hot rod compact wagon' — revolution. Let's just say the traditional hatchback has been given a run for its money with the Impreza's sharp new look, complete with a lower front end and lights that dare you to look away. And for those with a need for speed and style, we muse over the dream that is a WRX-infused future for this blue beauty.

Inside, we get cozy with the Impreza's interior, where comfort isn't just a feature; it's a promise. The RS trim cradles you with color-enhanced seating, while the back seat boasts enough legroom to make your adult passengers forget they're in the second row. Performance-wise, we're talking about a 2.5-liter boxer engine that feels just right, though the siren call of a potential WRX version teases the thrill-seeker in us all. And whether you're sizing it up against the Honda Civic or the Mazda3, we cover every angle — from its dream-like ride to its fiercely competitive stance in the market.
