Why it stands out

The 2014 Subaru Impreza WRX stands out as a practical performance car that still feels purpose-built for enthusiastic driving. In this generation, Subaru gave the WRX STI a more refined body style and, by 2011, brought back the four-door sedan alongside the hatchback. The car’s appeal comes from its combination of all-wheel drive, a six-speed manual transmission, and a chassis tuned for serious cornering, while still offering enough everyday usability to work as a family-friendly vehicle.

For 2014, the WRX STI carried over with minimal changes, and the main update was that the navigation system now featured Aha smartphone connectivity software. It also retained the features that define the model: a turbocharged 2.5-liter boxer four-cylinder engine, Brembo performance brakes, Super Sport ABS, and a standard all-wheel-drive system with a Driver Controlled Center Differential. The cabin included a 7-inch navigation screen, Bluetooth, automatic climate control, and aux inputs, but the tradeoff was a stiff ride, a tight back seat, and an underwhelming sound system.

That mix of strengths and compromises is a big part of what makes the 2014 Subaru Impreza WRX distinctive. It delivers serious performance on pavement and gravel, yet it remains usable enough for daily life. Buyers drawn to it are usually looking for a fast, engaging car with rally-bred character, but they should also be prepared for the rough ride and the reality that many examples have been heavily used, abused, or modified.
