It supposedly can accelerate better than the current base model, which gets considerably worse mileage. Of course, the interior would have to be more usable/comfortable than her current Jetta, but I will definitely be checking that out when it hits the showrooms.

If that pans out, it will indeed be an impressive change from 2011. In 2011 the best mpg Impreza was still only rated at 27mpg highway. An improvement of 9mpg would take a complete redesign from the bottom up... which it needs if it wants to compete.
