SUBARU IMPREZA Used Car Review
Subaru was renowned for models such as the Leone and Jumbuck until a new small car appeared in 1993.
The Impreza would take Australia by storm during the 1990s, and a turbocharged performance model called the WRX continues to be a huge cult car (and now its own, separate nameplate).
Across several generations, however, regular versions of the Impreza have proven to be sensible compact family cars - with a segment USP of standard all-wheel drive and their distinctive horizontally opposed 'boxer' engines across the range.
Pros
Cons
- All-wheel-drive system provides assurance on wet, slippery roads
- Roomy cabin, and particularly practical in hatch form
- Improved driving experience from latest model (2016 onwards)
- Build quality and mechanical reliability
- 'Boxer' engines short on low-down pulling power
- Extra weight, complexity of AWD hurts fuel economy
- Design not as distinctive as it once was
- Older autos short on gears; newer (CVT) auto can take acclimatisation
