The Thule Pulse cargo box # TH614, is listed as a fit for a 2013 Subaru Impreza Sport if it has the factory installed crossbars that run side to side. With this box installed it will NOT interfere with the rear hatch when opened. I have included a link to a video showing the features of the box for you.

If you needed crossbars, and for a sleek, low profile look, I recommend the Thule AeroBlade Edge roof rack, # TH7502-TH7503.

And a third option would be to use a cargo bag on the roof like # RL100S30 which will fit with just factory side rails, no rails or rack at all, or with a factory roof rack. This bag has the same 13 cubic foot capacity as the Sonic cargo box you referenced. If you go with a bag be sure to clean the roof and the bottom of the bag and/or use Non-Skid Roof Protection Pad, # RL100650, to protect he vehicle roof.

Whenever carrying items on the roof, be sure not to exceed the roof carrying capacity.
