Pit the 2015 Subaru Impreza at Mike Shaw Subaru in Thornton Against the 2015 Mazda 3 and Decide For Yourself

If you've ever rented or borrowed a car that just didn't fit right, you know that there's just no replacement for the perfect car. And, if you spend a lot of time driving in the Denver area and Rocky Mountain Front Range, it's clear that the perfect car is the 2015 Subaru Impreza. Sure, every vehicle has its benefits--but driving in Colorado demands the kind of road-gripping traction, convenience, and safety you can only get from a Subaru. Read more to find out why, despite its own upsides, the 2015 Mazda 3 is no match for the 2015 Subaru Impreza when it comes to Colorado driving.

Compare the Design and Dimensions of the 2015 Subaru Impreza and 2015 Mazda 3

The driving experience starts with the design, and the design of the 2015 Subaru Impreza is better suited than the 2015 Mazda 3 for Colorado driving. Both the 2015 Subaru Impreza and the 2015 Mazda 3 are available in sedan and hatchback models; however, luckily for Colorado drivers, the 2015 Subaru Impreza models offer more overall space. In fact, the Impreza hatchback offers 52.4 cubic feet of maximum cargo space over the 47.1 available in the Mazda 3. While adventurous Coloradans need cargo room, space isn't the only concern--there's also the weather, which the Impreza accounts for with heated mirrors, a windshield wiper de-icer, and heated seats; you won't find a windshield wiper de-icer on the Mazda 3. You also won't find roof rails or cargo tie-downs on the 2015 Mazda 3, but you'll find these features and many more when you pick the 2015 Subaru Impreza.

Compare the Performance and Capabilities of the 2015 Subaru Impreza and the 2015 Mazda 3

When you compare the performance of the 2015 Subaru Impreza and the 2015 Mazda 3, you'll notice another glaring difference. On the surface, the efficient and agile Mazda 3 seems like a good pick--that is, until you remember what it's like to slide into an embankment on icy Colorado roads. If you prefer to drive with confidence even in rough weather, go with the 2015 Subaru Impreza, which comes equipped with Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive as a standard feature. Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive delivers impressive traction, taking the stress out of snow storms and gravel roads alike. Don't risk your safety on unpredictable Colorado roads--choose the 2015 Subaru Impreza with standard all-wheel drive.

Check Out the Safety Equipment and Features of the 2015 Subaru Impreza and the 2015 Mazda 3

Safety on the road starts with the basics of design. Because the Subaru Impreza features the well-balanced Subaru Boxer engine, a high-tensile strength steel ring-shaped reinforcement frame, and standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, it gets an inherent safety advantage over the competition. Those fundamental features and the optional EyeSight system with forward collision mitigation earned the 2015 Subaru Impreza the IIHS Top Safety Pick+. The 2015 Mazda 3 offers a lot of new-fangled tech but lacks the fundamental safety you get with the Boxer engine and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive design of the 2015 Subaru Impreza.
