  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Got a 5k discount on new. Where can you get this level of performance for 16k.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    You don't buy this sort of car for economy. Eye watering service costs and fuel consumption. 28mpg is easily achievable with mixed driving.

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Much better than I expected for a car with this performance, although it does get a little unsettled on poor country roads. The best car I have ever owned.

    Performance

    This car is fast. The STi must be awesome.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    Seems OK. Only time will tell, but Subaru have a better than most reliability record

    The Wagon is less lary than the saloon and does without the silly tea tray in the boot and the bulging wheel arches. Attracts less attention and is the better for it. You will also get the Scooby wave.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Seats OK as long as long as you don't have a large bum. Very huggy and supportive.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    Thatcham cat 1 alarm. Mine seems a little oversensitive and likes to embarrass.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Don't use Subaru dealers they'd have the shirt off your back. I use a specialist and very good too.
