Subaru Impreza Estate 1993-
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Supercar performance for Mondeo money.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Drinks petrol, even on a steady drive. Insurance can be horrendous.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Awesome driving experience, whether in a straight line or round bends/corners. Road confidence is incredible.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    The Impreza Turbo turns an average driver into an expert! Good drivers turn into driving Gods!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Not as reliable as other Japanese cars I've owned. Neglecting the Impreza can be very costly.

    Everyone knows the Impreza! Either classed as the new 'boy racer' car or a rally-derived road-monster.

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Comfort is on a par with your average European family saloon.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Standard manufacturer's security system does the job for insurance reasons only. A decent alarm system (or systems!) is a must.

    Service

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Main dealers are often lacking in parts(!), but are usually Impreza enthusiasts.
