Towing	Towing a trailer- is not recommmended with an Impreza and no factory trailer is available. Unofficially, if you are going to tow with an Impreza anyway, check and maintain all fluids and tune-up specs, and keep weight and speeds down, and of course have a reputable hitch installer install it on your car. Warranties might be affected by towing. Towing the car- a flatbed is always recommended when towing your Subaru. A manual transmission can be towed with all wheels on the ground behind a tow truck or motorhome for example, but never with just 2 wheels on the ground.  An automatic can be towed with all 4 wheels on the ground in an emergency for a short distance (under 31 miles) at very slow speed (under 20mph). A flatbed is strongly preferred.
