Expert Answers about Subaru Impreza


  • How To Carry Carbon Fiber Bike On 2018 Subaru Impreza
  • Correct, you don't want a bike rack with frame contact with carbon fiber frame bikes. The only type of tire hold bikes are hitch mounted so you will first need to start with a trailer hitch, I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT24959. Then, you can pick out a tire hold rack such as the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes part # KU74FR which is what I recommend.

  • Lightweight Bike Rack Recommendation for 2011 Subaru Impreza
  • The lightest weight bike rack out there that is also very easy to use is the Kuat Beta # B202-114 which weighs in at 12.6 lbs. This is also a very high quality rack too which means it will be very reliable. Now you'll need a hitch installed on your vehicle so for that you'd want the Curt # C11315 for if you have a 5 door wagon with single exhaust # C11120 if you have a wagon with quad exhaust or # C11317 if you have a sedan. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Subaru Impreza with Best Ground Clearance
  • The EcoHitch part # 306-X7350 has the best ground clearance for the 2018 Subaru Impreza. While I can't get you an exact figure as we haven't had the chance to install the EcoHitch yet here I can tell that from looking at pictures the EcoHitch fits right under the rear bumper and the Draw Tite # 76209 hangs noticeably lower. What also helps the EcoHitch is that only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper which helps with ground clearance when turning into an elevation change like...

  • Roof Rack for Carrying a Canoe/Kayak on a 2014 Subaru Impreza with a Naked Roof
  • While we do have roof racks for your 2014 Subaru Impreza, the (discontinued) Custom Fit Kit WB-K473 you referenced is for various years and models of GM pickups and there isn't a Whispbar roof rack currently in production that fits your vehicle. If you like the higher quality of a Whispbar product then you'll want to go with a Yakima roof rack as they actually manufacture the Whispbar brand. From what you were looking at I'm guessing you have a Sedan that isn't the WRX. For this you'll...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for Towing Motorcycle Trailer With 1995 Subaru Impreza
  • For you 1995 Subaru Impreza, I recommend the Curt # C11497. The Curt model features a fully welded, gloss powder coated steel construction and a concealed cross tube. You will need a ball mount. You'll also need a trailer wiring harness, part # C59236 is recommended. Finally, you'll need a trailer ball like # 19256. Although the hitch has a 2000 towing/200 lb tongue weight capacity, you might be limited by the towing capacity of the vehicle, if it is less. You'll need to abide by the...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2005 Subaru Impreza RS

I have attached a link to all of the roof rack options that we offer for your vehicle. Simply choose your style of roof and a list of all compatible roof racks will populate.

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX Wagon
  • The 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX has different configurations and depending on which one you have will determine which hitch, if one is available, fits. If it has single exhaust, there is no hitch option available. But, if it has quad exhaust, you can use Curt hitch # C11120. I have included a link to the installation details for you. Curt hitch # 11317, fits a 2008 to 2012 Subaru Impreza Sedan, but not the STi models. It does not fit the 5 door model (wagon). Curt hitch # C11120 fits a 2011...

  • Recommended Trunk-Mount Bike Rack for 2014 Subaru Impreza Sport
  • For your 2014 Subaru Impreza Hatchback Sport, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2. This trunk-mounted bike rack is specifically designed for hatchbacks like yours that have a spoiler. The high-rise frame and multiple strap mounting options will prevent any damage to the spoiler or your vehicle. It is confirmed to fit your Impreza and can hold up to 2 bikes at 35 pounds each. The carrier features durable anti-sway cradles with soft rubber straps that will secure...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Towing Equipment for 2010 Subaru Impreza Hatchback
  • As long as it's not a WRX STi model, we do have a hitch available for your Impreza. I'd recommend the Draw-Tite Class I receiver, part # DT24959. A ball mount is not included and you'll need the # C56111 trailer wiring harness and the # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 19258 for the 2 inch trailer ball. The trailer coupler should have the necessary ball size stamped onto it. The hitch itself has a 2000 lb towing, 200 lb tongue weight capacity which does not necessarily mean that the vehicle...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2014 Subaru Impreza Hatchback
  • I have a trailer wiring solution for your 2014 Subaru Impreza hatchback, non WRX, non STI but the part # C56040 that you referenced is not confirmed to fit your vehicle so I would not recommend it for you. Instead you would want the Tekonsha tow wiring harness # 118573 as this kit is confirmed to fit your vehicle. This is a hardwire kit that will require you to test the functions of your vehicle taillights and wire them up correctly to the harness.

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Subaru WRX STi For Towing Two Motorcycles
  • I wish we had a picture I could show you of the underside of a vehicle with the Curt Hitch part # C11120 installed. The best I could do is have you check out the installation instructions link I attached to the right. You should be able to get a pretty good idea whether or not the exhaust you have is compatible with this hitch. As long as you stayed under the capacity of the hitch and your vehicle you should have no problem towing a small trailer. For trailer wiring you would want the...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Subaru Impreza 5-Door Hatchback
  • There are only certain trunk mount bike racks that will fit a 2012 Subaru Impreza hatchback and only if it does NOT have a spoiler. I have included a link to the bike racks listed as a fit. I recommend the Thule Gateway Pro, # TH88VR. I have included a link to a video review of the bike rack for you. With any bike rack you choose, if you will be carrying women's, children's or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the bike adapter bar, # TH982XT, in order to carry the bikes so that...

  • Which Hitch for 2019 Subaru Impreza Has Best Ground Clearance
  • When we installed the Draw Tite hitch part # 36644 on a similar 2018 Subaru Impreza as your 2019 model we found that it had right at 8-1/2 inches of ground clearance. I wouldn't call that great ground clearance but we haven't had reports of it being an issue. Instead a better option would be the EcoHitch part # 306-X7350 as only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper. This allows better ground clearance when turning into driveways or other elevation changes which is where you'll...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2012 Subaru Impreza to use a Bike Rack
  • The most economically priced options for a hitch on your 2012 Subaru Impreza 5 door Wagon is going to depend on whether you have a WRX/WRX Sti or not. If you DO have the WRX/WRX Sti then the hitch that you want is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11120. If you DO NOT have the WRX/WRX Sti then the hitch that you want is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11286. Both of these hitches are made in the USA, have a bolt-on, no-drill installation and will provide you with a Class I, 1-1/4"...

  • Bike Carrying Options for 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX
  • If your Impreza WRX does not have a spoiler, a trunk mounted rack would be the most convenient option. Although we offer many different racks that are a confirmed fit, I would recommend the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier # TH56BV. Typically, a trunk mounted rack would use straps and buckles that need to be adjusted each time the rack is installed or removed, which can be an awkward and time consuming process. The Raceway uses 2 retractable cables that allow the rack to be installed or removed...

  • What is Most Hidden Trailer Hitch Available for 2019 Subaru Impreza
  • The most hidden trailer hitch we offer for your 2019 Subaru Impreza is the EcoHitch part # 306-X7350. This hitch has a hidden crosstube which means the only thing you'll see hanging below the rear bumper is the hitch opening. This also helps quite a bit with ground clearance. I attached a picture that shows this hitch installed as well for you to check out.

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for a Leased 2017 Subaru Impreza 5-Door Hatchback
  • I did some checking and there are some trunk mount bike racks that you can use on your leased 2017 Subaru Impreza 5-door hatchback. For a 2-bike rack you can use either the Yakima FullBack # Y02634. For 3 bikes the the FullBack model is # Y02633. These racks will work even if the vehicle has a rear spoiler at the top of the hatch because the rack is positioned in such a way as to not put any stress on the spoiler. I included a picture showing this courtesy of Yakima. I have also linked...
