Both the Impreza vs. Civic are built to bring all of their value to the table for many miles because the jealous onlooker's gaze should last much longer than the first five minutes after you drive it off our lot.

If you're interested in cars that can get it done no matter what your schedule throws in front of its grille, you're in the right place. Our Subaru comparison features the 2021 Honda Civic as the challenger; let's break down the trim levels and get to the tale of the tape.

The Subaru Impreza vs. Honda Civic battle begins with the numerous ways you can dress your Subaru Impreza to impress. Eight model options offer a couple of different ways to build the Subaru hatchback or sedan model that's right for your daily drive.

• 2021 Subaru Impreza Sedan: With a starting price of $18,795 MSRP,¹ the base model comes with symmetrical all-wheel-drive and a SUBARU STARLINK® multimedia system that allows you to bring all your favorite songs and podcasts along with you.

• 2021 Subaru Impreza Premium Sedan: The Premium sedan comes with 4G LTE & Wi-Fi capability, an available power moonroof that glides open with flair when a night full of stars shining bright is just too good to miss out on. Enjoy it all for a starting price of $22,195 MSRP.¹
• 2021 Subaru Impreza Premium 5-door: The Premium trim also is featured on the 5-door model, bringing the aforementioned features and an all-weather package with heated seats up front into a bigger package that won't take no for an answer. Pull it in for the starting price of $22,695 MSRP.¹

• 2021 Subaru Impreza Sport 5-door Manual: The Impreza Sport 5-door has a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter handle to set the mood of a racecar cockpit, and body-color rocket spoilers take that go-fast feel and finish it on the back side. MSRP $22,995.
  
• 2021 Subaru Impreza Limited Sedan: The sedan models finish up at the starting price of $25,895 MSRP.¹ Step inside a cabin trimmed head to toe in leather upholstery, plop down into a power-adjustable, 6-way driver's seat, and enjoy an automatic climate control system that battles the elements as soon as your car wakes up.

Value You Can't Find Elsewhere

As the pursuer of schedule-conquering speed and hassle-free travel for more than a decade, the newest Honda Civic rides on a deep lineage of dependable sedans. However, the Subaru Impreza sedan and 2021 Subaru Impreza hatchback are designs that point towards the future. These cars push beyond limits and go for it, no matter what windy or dirt-covered road you've chosen today. The roads of tomorrow will be no match for a car that runs at up to an EPA-estimated³ 36 miles per gallon on the highway and 28 miles per gallon in the city. Passenger volume reaches up to 100.9 cubic feet in the five-door models, something the Civic simply doesn't offer.

An array of exterior and interior color and material options means you can craft your next car truly to your touch, and safety comes standard through SUBARU STARLINK® and EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology. The whole package is right here; come down to our location in Saco, ME, and test-drive any of our new Subaru vehicles today!
