Dodge Challenger vs. Subaru Impreza WRX STi Review

Utility
Neither the Subaru Impreza WRX STi nor the Dodge Challenger has a marked advantage regarding seating capacity.

Dimensions
The Subaru's tank is about the same size as the Dodge Challenger's, though the Dodge Challenger's is a tad bigger. The Subaru fits in smaller parking spaces than the Dodge Challenger. The Dodge Challenger's longer wheelbase will result in a smoother, more stable ride; on the other hand, the Impreza WRX STi may give a nimbler feel in daily traffic.

Convenience
You will quite certainly have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Subaru Impreza WRX STi than with the Dodge Challenger.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs almost the same to get the Subaru Impreza WRX STi to the dealership as the Dodge Challenger. The Subaru Impreza WRX STi won't save you much money at the pump compared to the Dodge Challenger. When it comes to gas mileage, the Challenger is a bit better than the Subaru Impreza WRX STi, but not by much. When it comes to MSRP, the Dodge Challenger costs substantially less than the Subaru Impreza WRX STi.

Handling
With their comparable turning radii, the Dodge Challenger and the Subaru Impreza WRX STi most certainly handle almost the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Dodge Challenger has a larger engine than the Subaru Impreza WRX STi. Keep in mind that smaller engines typically get better gas mileage, but smaller engines can be stressed more. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the Subaru is substantially more powerful than the Dodge Challenger.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Subaru Impreza WRX STi offers a bit more head room than the Dodge, there honestly isn't much of a difference. While the rear of the Subaru provides a bit more head- and leg-room than the Dodge Challenger, there honestly isn't much of a difference.

Warranty
The Challenger and the Subaru have the same basic warranty.
