Additionally, the Impreza begins at a much lower starting price than most, making it an excellent option as a gift to yourself or someone you know.

• Finally, while both sedans were chosen as 2018 Top Safety Picks by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the Subaru Impreza made more prestigious list of 2018 Top Safety Pick+ due to its exemplary ratings in all categories including crashworthiness, roof strength, seatbelts, front crash prevention and the effectiveness of the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) system. The Mazda3 received high ratings in most of these categories except for its LATCH System's effectiveness and the strength of its headlights.
