I looked up the online owner's manual for your 2013 Subaru Impreza and starting on page 8-14 it states that if you have roof rails then the weight capacity of your roof is 150 lbs but if you have a roof with the moulding then your weight capacity is 176 lbs. I recommend confirming this in your copy of the owner's manual.

You will be able to use the Rhino-Rack XTray Pro Cargo Basket # RRRMCB03 but since it weighs 48.5 lbs this will cut into the weight capacities that I just referenced so you won't be able to use the full 165 lb weight capacity of the basket itself as you are limited by your least rated component.

If you don't already have a roof rack just let me know if you have the raised rails, whether your Impreza is the Wagon WRX or not, and whether it is the Wagon or Sedan and I can help you find a roof rack that is best for your application.
