I guess in the end this Impreza is much more efficient than the prior version. But it's not nearly as efficient as advertised. And it's no more efficient than the CX-5 which has more space and is more entertaining to drive.

Just another thought. I know several people who own Outbacks and as much as I hate what Subaru has done to that car, the efficiency is remarkable. The Outback is big and AWD and the people I know repeatedly get mileage in the high 20s. I'm wondering if they're asking too much of the 2.0 L in the Impreza and maybe mpg is suffering (kind of the way the Explorer with the 2.0 Ecoboost has a hard time getting its advertised mileage.) I wonder how the Impreza would do with the 2.5 L from the Outback/Legacy?
