The Impreza RS has always carried a sharper edge than its base siblings, and this 2024 example in Pure Red makes that reputation easy to see before you even turn the key. Under the hood sits a 2.5L DOHC flat-four, the same horizontally opposed layout Subaru has refined for decades to keep the center of gravity low and the handling planted. Paired with Subaru's CVT Lineartronic and symmetrical all-wheel drive, this car puts power down through all four corners with confidence you can feel the moment you push through a quick bend or accelerate out of a tight corner. The exhaust note is not bark-loud, but the flat-four burble is unmistakably Subaru, and the low-slung engine gives the car a composure in corners that front-wheel-drive compacts simply cannot match. Four-wheel independent suspension and anti-roll bars front and rear keep body roll tight, and the 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS give you genuine stopping authority when you need it.
This RS rolls on 18-inch dark gray aluminum-alloy wheels that fill the arches the way they should on a sport-trim Subaru. Inside, the black RS cloth bucket seats are heated, the leather shift knob sits right where your hand wants it, and the 11.6-inch Subaru STARLINK Multimedia Plus system handles Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The car has 13,888 miles on it, one previous owner according to the Carfax vehicle history report, and it comes Subaru Certified with a 7-year/100,000-mile factory warranty. It passes state inspection, the brakes are good, the tires are good, and the AWD system is ready to earn its keep through every season New England throws at it.
Fuel economy comes in at 26 city and 33 highway, so weekend drives through the back roads do not punish you at the pump. Auto high-beam headlights, front fog lights, electronic stability control, and a rear camera round out a safety package that keeps you covered without getting in your way. Automatic dual-zone climate control, heated mirrors, remote keyless entry, and a telescoping tilt steering wheel take care of the comfort side. At $27,396, this RS gives you a purpose-built sport compact with full-time AWD and factory warranty coverage still well in front of you.
