Sport works really well for me. I want a manual trans lighter than the EX, don't want the sunroof or lanewatch and I'll pull the head unit out for my own stereo system anyway.

The list of missing features in the Sport is a mile long. Unfortunately I'm used to torque, and the Impreza has none.If that is your reason to buy an Impreza..... I feel bad for you lol
The parts catalogs are available online already, and show the hatch having a spare.Chances are they'll give you a fix-a-flat kit, and no spare tire at all.
its the same as the accord sport. Its supposed to be a "sporty" LX we've been used to this since what? 2013? 2012?The list of missing features in the Sport is a mile long. Unfortunately I'm used to torque, and the Impreza has none.
and thats why they offer it. some people don't want the "luxury" features of the EX.Sport works really well for me. I want a manual trans lighter than the EX, don't want the sunroof or lanewatch and I'll pull the head unit out for my own stereo system anyway.
Which is what a lot of us would buy if there was a 6MT EX Civic hatch. Hopefully they're just saving that for the Si.its the same as the accord sport. Its supposed to be a "sporty" LX we've been used to this since what? 2013? 2012?
My choice was always the EX for the accord, you can still get manual in an EX and has more better features I think and rides nicer but is still just as "fast"
The GTI Sport is a nice trim. Everything you need, nothing you don't. That said, I'm looking at dealer inventories, and it isn't exactly cheap. Why would you be cross-shopping this with a Civic Sport hatch? Maybe you can wait for the Civic Si? I mean, I wouldn't blame you for pulling the trigger on the GTI. It sure is nice.UUUUGGHHH, I had my heart set on a sport with the 6 speed manual, but a 4 speaker audio system and no variable windshield wipers? Really Honda? I'm definitely buying a 2017 GTI sport now.
Wheels. Those 18s are likely heavy and contributing to a large decrease in efficiency. And the wider tires contribute as well.Not sure why there is such a huge efficiency penalty from the sedan touring to the sport touring hatch.
The 2017s are also being tested to tougher government standards vs. the 2016s. Someone else guesstimated a one or two mpg hit from that.Wheels. Those 18s are likely heavy and contributing to a large decrease in efficiency. And the wider tires contribute as well.
The 2017 sedan will drop the same amount, due to more stringent EPA testing. The Accords dropped as much as 2 mpg in 2017 models.Not sure why there is such a huge efficiency penalty from the sedan touring to the sport touring hatch. Clearly CVT gearing must play a role. Sedan is 5.5L per 100km highway and hatch is 6.6. This is 20% worse. Then add 10%+ for premium fuel and you are 30%+ worst cruising down the highway for 6HP gain which you won't even benefit from. 60-70 LB heavier hatch might play a very small part. Not a commuter's hatch.
