Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Subaru Impreza than the Toyota Prius. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Toyota Prius, the Subaru Impreza may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Subaru Impreza as you will with the Toyota Prius, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Based on MSRP, the Subaru Impreza is clearly a better financial choice over the Toyota Prius.

Dimensions
The Subaru Impreza is about the same width as the Toyota Prius. The Subaru Impreza is slightly shorter than the Toyota Prius, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Subaru Impreza has about the same turning radius as the Toyota Prius, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Subaru Impreza is significantly less powerful than the Toyota Prius. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the engine of the Subaru Impreza transmits a bit more power to the wheels than the Toyota Prius.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Subaru Impreza and the Toyota Prius.
