Overall Performance
The Subaru Impreza WRX STI Hatchback has a stock top speed of 259 km/h (161 mph) which is average for Class B cars. The acceleration is quick and strong but its nitrous output however is weak. The Impreza has sharp and responsive handling which makes it able to corner at high speed, however it lacks grip in higher speed corners.

For Pursuit Outrun and Team Escape the Impreza can perform well. Because of its responsive handling, it is able to dodge oncoming police vehicles such as Rhinos for instance. Its narrow body, also allows for it to easily thread through roadblocks. The Impreza is average in terms of weight, as it light enough to be brought to a halt when confronting a speeding Rhino, but heavy enough, to not be affected by sideswiping cruisers/ramming police. Also due to the acceleration that the Impreza has, it can regain any lost speed fast.
