2017 Subaru Impreza vs 2017 Honda Civic Sedan Comparison: Design
When you look at these two well-respected cars, one of the first things you're likely to notice is that the new 2017 Subaru Impreza comes with a more affordable price tag than the new Honda Civic Sedan. The exterior design of the Honda was updated for the last model year, and the all-new Subaru Impreza looks better than any that has come before it thanks to a complete redesign from the platform up. But, when you consider features like available steering responsive headlights and fog lights outside and significantly more room for passengers inside, it's clear that the Impreza was designed to provide you with more for your money.

2017 Subaru Impreza vs 2017 Honda Civic Sedan Comparison: Performance
It's one thing to look at performance numbers like horsepower and torque on paper, but it's an entirely different thing to consider how a car feels and performs when you're behind the wheel. While the new Subaru Impreza and the Honda each provide similar power, you're likely to notice a bit more pep under the pedal of the Subaru thanks to the slight torque advantage it holds. You do have your choice between a manual and automatic transmission in both models, but it's the all-new Subaru Impreza that comes standard with the legendary symmetrical all-wheel drive. This is a level of traction and safety that simply isn't available in the Honda Civic sedan. When the roads get slick or icy here in the Front Range, you'll be glad you chose a Subaru with symmetrical all-wheel drive.

2017 Subaru Impreza vs 2017 Honda Civic Sedan Comparison: Safety
It doesn't matter if your next small sedan will be used for the daily commute or the whole family, Colorado roads are no place to sacrifice when it comes to safety. While the redesigned 2017 Subaru Impreza and the new Honda Civic Sedan are each recognized as safe vehicles, there are a few distinctions to take note of. The new Impreza has been made even safer than the award-winning previous generations, but what truly makes it safer than the Honda is that it continues to come standard with the world-renowned symmetrical all-wheel drive system. This provides superior traction on wet and icy roads as well as clear roads. Combine this with the acclaimed Subaru EyeSight technology, and you've got a car that is far safer than anything the Honda Civic can offer.
