Three Years, One Icon: Choosing the Right Subaru Impreza for Your Drive

At Saints Auto Sales, we know how important it is to find the right vehicle that matches your style, needs, and budget. If the Subaru Impreza has caught your eye, you’re already on the right track. But with standout options from 2015, 2016, and 2017, the next question is: which model year gives you the most value?

Let’s dive into the differences between these three Subaru Impreza hatchbacks and see how each one shines.

Shaped for Everyday and Beyond

Signature Subaru Style

The Impreza has always offered a smart blend of sporty looks and everyday versatility. Across the 2015, 2016, and 2017 models, you’ll notice consistently sharp body lines, aerodynamic profiles, and hatchback practicality. Whether it’s the clean, uniform finish of the 2015 gray model, the blue-accented 2016 edition, or the bright, silver 2017 design, you’re getting a car that looks good in any setting—urban or rural.

Each model brings generous cabin space, refined materials, and Subaru’s thoughtful layout. The hatchback format provides flexibility that sedan lovers sometimes miss out on—making these Imprezas just as comfortable hauling groceries as they are loading gear for a weekend adventure.

Under the Hood and Ready to Roll

Performance You Can Count On

Powering all three of these models is Subaru’s trusted 2.0L engine, known for its balance of efficiency and durability. The 2015 and 2016 Impreza Sport trims both push out 148 horsepower, while the 2017 Premium model bumps that number up slightly to 152 horsepower, giving it a small edge in responsiveness.

If mileage is your top priority, the 2017 Impreza offers the best efficiency-to-performance ratio, and at just 59,729 miles, it’s the freshest of the trio. The 2015 model comes in second with 63,661 miles, and the 2016 edition follows with 80,505 miles—still solid for a Subaru built to go the distance.

No matter which you choose, Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel drive system ensures that you’re equipped to handle Maine’s unpredictable weather and ever-changing road conditions.

Subaru Style Inside and Out

Color Combos and Cabin Comfort

Each of these vehicles has been well cared for and is finished in clean, classic tones. The 2015 version features a gray interior and matching gray exterior, offering a sleek, uniform aesthetic. The 2016 Impreza pops a little more with its blue exterior, which contrasts nicely with the neutral gray interior. Meanwhile, the 2017 model brings a fresh, modern vibe with its silver exterior and consistent gray interior finish.

Inside, you’ll find well-padded seats, easy-to-use infotainment controls, and great visibility—traits the Impreza has always been praised for. Whether it’s the Sport trim’s enhanced interior in the 2015 and 2016 models or the Premium trim’s updated tech in 2017, you’re in for a comfortable ride.

The Sweet Spot for Your Budget

Price Meets Performance

These Imprezas were selected not just for their condition, but for the value they offer. Here’s how the pricing breaks down:

The 2015 Impreza Sport Limited is available for $11,495 and offers balanced mileage, proven performance, and a premium trim. The 2016 Sport Premium, priced slightly lower at $10,995, is perfect for those looking to save a bit more while still getting a stylish, capable hatchback. The 2017 Impreza Premium is the newest and most powerful of the three, and it’s listed at $11,995—a small price bump for newer tech and lower mileage.

Every dollar goes a long way with Subaru, and each of these models has been inspected and prepared for its next chapter on the road.
