The Subaru Impreza and the Honda Civic Come Together in the Ultimate Faceoff

Trying to find the compact car that best fits your budget and lifestyle can sometimes seem like an impossible feat. With so many different small cars on the market, it can be hard to see where certain models lag behind and others stand out. Here at Don Miller Subaru West we often find that many drivers will just pick one of the most-popular models out there and cross their fingers that it is a good fit for them. Of course we don't really like taking chances when an investment as big as a new car is on the line, so we thought we would give you a little comparison between one of our favorite models and a very popular one from another large automaker.

Based on looks alone, it is obvious that the Subaru Impreza and the Honda Civic are two different cars. The Impreza is available either as a hatchback or sedan, and the Civic is offered in coupe and four-door forms. Both of these vehicles have similar standard features as well as multiple trim levels and special packages so drivers can select the amount of equipment and the exact price that best suits them. The Impreza and the Civic start to part ways once we get under the hood and look at the quality and reputation of their components.

The Civic is built standard with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that is capable of 143 horsepower and 36 mpg on the highway. The engine in the Impreza is slightly larger at 2.0-liters, 148 horsepower and 37 mpg on the highway. All impreza models also come standard with AWD for an added layer of safety and control.

In fact both cars have great safety reputations as well. The Civic has a TOP SAFETY PICK rating from the IIHS, and the Impreza has their highest honor of TOP SAFETY PICK+. Despite all these advantages that the Impreza seems to have over the Civic, it still has a starting price significantly lower than that of the Honda Civic.
