BMW 328 vs. Subaru Impreza Review

Utility
The Subaru Impreza will definitely prove handier than the BMW 328 for those of you with frequent kid-cargo.

Dimensions
The BMW 328's tank is about the same size as the Impreza's, though the Subaru Impreza's is somewhat larger. The Impreza and the BMW 328 compete for the same parking spaces.

Convenience
You likely won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Impreza than with the BMW 328, because both offer similar ranges.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The Subaru Impreza is substantially cheaper to get to the dealership than the BMW 328. In terms of fuel economy, the BMW 328 and the Subaru don't differ much. The Subaru Impreza is significantly less expensive than the BMW 328 as far as MSRP.

Handling
With their comparable turning circles, the Impreza and the BMW most certainly handle almost the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The BMW 328's engine is substantially larger than the Subaru Impreza's. Bear in mind that more sizeable engines may use more gas than smaller ones. Torque equals pickup, and the BMW will have picked up and gone by the time the Subaru finally gets moving.

Comfort
Taller drivers will significantly enjoy the extra head room in the Subaru Impreza's front cabin compared to the BMW 328. The Subaru Impreza is not particularly roomier for your passengers than the BMW.

Warranty
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the Subaru Impreza isn't quite as generous as the BMW's.
