Subaru Impreza Estate 1993-
  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Due to sales of new version, this model has depreciated, but it is worth the money if you find one that has been treated well, stay away from chipped ones.

    Costs

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Expensive, excessive fuel costs if driving in town, motorways ok, but really struggle to get 22-26 mpg from this firecracker.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Forget BMW for ultimate driving machine, value, performance, looks that tell other drivers in their rear view mirror to pull aside, this car is aggressive.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    0-60 in under 6 secs… need I say more from a 4wd no wheel spinning performance car...+ 145mph where possible i.e. M74 Carlisle to Glasgow.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Have you ever seen one broken down by the side of a road, nope i didn't think so either! Japenese buzz machines, not British rust buckets.

    Wolf has shown it's claws and teeth, watch out for it's bite, it'll rip BMW's 330ci's.

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very secure, however immobiliser and alarm on keypads tend to go out of synch, need to get them re-pointed to start car over.
