For Fort Walton Beach, FL Drivers, the New 2018 Subaru Impreza is the Definition of Confidence in Motion

The compact Subaru sedan and hatchback duo isn't just any small car. Nor does it tick just a few boxes on the list of what Panhandle drivers are looking for in a new one. From base 2.0i and 2.0i Premium trims through the agile 2.0i Sport and luxurious 2.0i Limited, the new Subaru Impreza is nothing less than the whole package. It's energetic, offering a spirited ride, yet efficient for the extra mile. Moreover, it's reliable for the long haul, built safe to a tee, and exceedingly comfortable, yet not everyday when it comes to versatility and forward technological thinking. But we wouldn't take the expert word of a Fort Walton Beach Subaru dealer for it alone. Step inside and see for yourself!

Your choice of cloth, sport cloth, or leather seating surely captures attention first, available heated and power-adjustable in front to make the drive through Navarre and Gulf Breeze over to Pensacola a relaxing and enjoyable one. In five-door body styles, you can even take advantage of up to 55.3 cubic feet of storage space with rear seating lowered, making plenty of room for the essentials of the road.

Before you sprawls a selection of cutting-edge infotainment systems, depending on trim, ready to provide entertainment and settings control at your fingertips. For one, a STARLINK 6.5-inch Multimedia model, standard in the base and showcasing Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for smartphone integration, a USB interface for peripherals, and Bluetooth tech for hands-free calling and wireless streaming. Secondly, you can find an 8.0-inch Multimedia Plus system available in upper trims, offering SiriusXM All Access Radio, Traffic, and Travel Link capability as well as the convenience of voice command. Finally, an 8.0-inch Multimedia Navigation option presents at the top of the new Impreza line to make heading up in Crestview or down to Panama City a matter of course. Plus, a choice of four- and six-speaker audio systems becomes an eight-speaker, 432-watt-equivalent Harman Kardon system in select trims. With Pandora and Aha support in the mix, you and your road-trip soundtrack can take off.

Of course, that owes to a standard 152-horsepower, 2.0-liter, four-cylinder SUBARU BOXER engine, opposed horizontally and with laterally moving pistons to provide that balanced feel and efficient power delivery enthusiasts crave. Start up and hit the road, and you can look forward to a capable pairing with standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Together, with the sporty feel or a fully synchronized five-speed manual transmission of the ease of use of a Lineartronic® CVT, they offer a pro's command of traction not found in other electronic AWD systems. Of course, factor in a four-wheel independent suspension, tuned in 2018 Impreza Sport for high performance, along with Active Torque Vectoring, and you'll find the car just as nimble for the cruise as around corners. That's with respectable fuel economy to boot. Count on up to 27-28 mpg around Panama City and up to 35-38 mpg down the highway to Navarre depending on trim, according to EPA estimates.

En route, you can expect Impreza to live up to the Subaru promise of high-way-to-driveway security. Vehicle Dynamics and Traction Control systems join forces with Incline Start Assist to help keep the ride dependably sturdy, while available EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology simplifies keeping a safe distance from other motorists, correcting and maintaining course, and remaining clear of collisions. Available Blind-Spot Detection and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert assist here, too, providing awareness of your surroundings. But should the worst occur, know that Subaru has you covered. Its STARLINK Safety & Security suite, standard in higher trims, can contact first responders and roadside assistance, remotely perform numerous service functions, and more.
