2018 Subaru Impreza vs 2018 Honda Civic

• While this is a nice feature to have anywhere, in Boston it's especially important to have the standard AWD of the new Impreza, compared to the Civic that doesn't even make that an option. While still earning impressive fuel economy figures, the standard AWD in the Impreza makes driving around during the worst winter spells much safer and adds more confidence to your travels.
• Both the Impreza and Civic are offered as four-door sedans or five-door hatchbacks, and the Subaru starts off with a lower price in both setups. Additionally, when selecting the hatchback version, the Impreza boasts a considerably larger cabin space for passengers compared to the Civic's interior dimensions. Furthermore, roof rails are optional with the Impreza hatchback, but aren't offered in any level of the Civic five-door.
• While both small cars offer optional safety features, the Subaru EyeSight suite found with the Impreza is far more comprehensive than Honda's selection of driver assistance systems. For example the Impreza comes available with LED steering-responsive headlights and reverse automatic braking, both of which aren't offered with the Civic.
• Finally, the Impreza is rated as lasting much longer than the Civic, making purchasing the Subaru with a loan for the long term a much smarter investment than with a higher priced Honda.

2018 Subaru Impreza vs 2018 Toyota Corolla

• While it was clear the hatchback version of the Impreza is better than the Civic five-door, the new Corolla isn't even offered as a hatchback. The cargo and passenger space dimensions of the Impreza hatchback far exceed what's offered inside the new Corolla, so choose the option that better accommodates fellow riders and all your stuff.
• It's kind of like beating a dead horse always mentioning the standard AWD in the Impreza, but that's an important feature to have during snowy and icy winter weather Boston regularly experiences. The Corolla, like pretty much every other small sedan on the market, doesn't even offer AWD as an option.
• Even with the standard AWD, the Impreza, in its sedan setup, earns better fuel efficiency than the Corolla. Every mpg matters when you're commuting daily, especially in the Boston area where starting and stopping constantly can put a strain on your gas tank.
• Finally, the standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder found in all Impreza editions will give you a far more pleasurable driving experience compared to the Corolla which comes with a 1.8-liter four, producing only 132 horsepower, compared to 158 hp for the Subaru small sedan or hatchback.
