Subaru’s 2012 small car is value priced, careful with fuel

The 2012 Subaru Impreza five door is a pleasant looking, versatile and smart handling car whose standard all-wheel drive makes it unusual among small cars that typically are front-wheel drive only.

Better yet, the Impreza comes at a competitive retail price starting at $19,045. This base Impreza price is on par with the starting retail prices of some competing front-wheel drive cars.

Meanwhile, the Impreza’s top fuel economy rating of 27 miles per gallon in city driving and 36 mpg on the highway from the federal government confirms the all-wheel drive is not a drag on gasoline mileage. In fact, the 2012 Hyundai Elantra GT five-door hatchback, which doesn’t offer all-wheel drive, has the same fuel economy rating as the all-wheel drive Impreza.

Also worth noting: The 2012 Impreza is a recommended buy of Consumer Reports, where its predicted reliability is better than average.

The manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $19,045 is for a base, 2012 Impreza 2.0i five-door hatchback with manual transmission and 148-horsepower four cylinder.

The 2012 Impreza offers a wheelbase that is an inch longer and has updated exterior styling, richer-looking interior, increased passenger and cargo space and smaller displacement than its predecessor. The four-cylinder engine with CVT is also new.

Inside, the passenger compartment looks ritzier than before and the top of the dashboard even has soft-touch materials. Gauges and controls are easy to read and well placed.

The engine change is especially noteworthy, because automakers are loathe to make an engine smaller and reduce horsepower in a new model.

But Subaru soundly met its goal of improving fuel economy in this new, fourth-generation Impreza. The 170-horsepower, 2.5-liter four cylinder is gone from this “regular” Impreza, replaced by a 148-horsepower, 2-liter four cylinder.

Note that the performance versions of Impreza — the WRX and STi — continue in 2012 with the 2.5-liter engine.

The new, smaller engine still is a horizontally opposed, “boxer” design that has become a Subaru hallmark, but it’s lighter in weight. Peak torque is reduced from 170 foot-pounds at 4,400 rpm to 145 foot-pounds at 4,200 rpm.

Here's' what one of our customers has to say about Subaru World of Newton:

"Dealt with several different sales reps who called on regular basis to discuss used cars that matched my criteria. Spent some time negotiating a fair price and was a lilttle surprised by the add-on costs when it was time to sign the contract. In the end the Sales Manager worked with me. I would recommend dealer, but as with any car purchase, educate yourself before walking through the door of any dealership."

Here's the latest customer review on Subaru World of Newton:

"Buying a carat Newton Subaru was a pleasure. I had left Subaru of Wayne after a horrible experience. They just didn't want a sale that day I guess. I called Newton up and before I got there they had located the car I wanted. We had a great experience. They were friendly, not pushy in any way, and very accommodating. We got a good deal on the car, even better than the price from Consumer's report! The finance person was also excellent and did not try to push me into any extra deals. All people from the salesman on were great and very help[ful. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them."

Car Care Tip: Keep Things Clean

Here's a car care tip, courtesy of Reader's Digest: “Vacuum and sponge your interior every time you wash your car. Dirt particles are abrasive, and spilled liquids, such as soda, can be corrosive. Vacuum your interior thoroughly with a powerful vacuum (small cordless models are generally too weak). Use the appropriate wand heads when vacuuming. The bare metal wand can mar and scratch surfaces. Sponge vinyl surfaces clean with a solution of mild detergent and water.”
