You should see the size of Shreksta I don't know how he even gets in an Impreza, he's fahookin huge and could probably reach the pedals from the back seat.

They bend their arms!
I'm 6'2", I don't have a problem, and I don't have the seat as far back as it can go, nearly but not quite.

That hawkeye looks a stunner :-)

OP, I've had similar issues with getting comfortable in cars with non adj. reach at 6ft 3.

The impreza is no different assuming the later cars are still non adj. (I've only had classics) the issue for me is I like to have my legs quite straight but my arms bent, to get the right position for my legs I then end up with out-stretched arms which ultimately pulls my shoulders forward in an attempt to correct, leaving me with neck pain and not making the most of the support from the seat back.

It's easily fixed however.. but it all depends how much you value your drivers airbag!! In my classic RA i've simply fitted a 60mm steering spacer between the boss and the steering wheel, there are loads of these available including adjustable ones by the likes of OMP which essentially gives you adjustable reach.

So it may cost you the price of an aftermarket wheel, boss and spacer, but you will be able to get the right position for you :-)
