    Advantages Advantages Fast, reliable, so much grip

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Plastic interior

    It has to be said that the Impreza Turbo, as a rally car, has rewritten the record books in the past decade, but I'm here to talk about the road car. Just like the rally car, the road car has had its fair share of success. 1999 saw the Impreza take the JC Power/BBC Top Gear Manufacturers' Gold Award for the second year running. Now this has to say something about the car and the potential that comes with it. As well as this it has won Japanese car of the year many times over. The Impreza Turbo shares the same flat four 'boxer' engine and the perfectly linear All-Wheel Drive system with the ... more

    5 Stars Banzai ! Grey Import WRX 04/11/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Sticks to the road. Embarrasses Porche and 3-Series owners.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Drinks petrol at a ferocious rate (anywhere from 12-25 mpg)

    I got the Impreza WRX STi Version 5 after having a spin in my friend's wagon, which was an Impreza WRX. I remember him informing me that WRX meant "World Rally Cross" and a half hour later I could see why. This car loves to be driven hard - at 2000rpm the boost starts to kick in and, unless you're a total boring sad act, you'll have an emotional - almost religious experience. This is a car that just brings me to tears of joy. The steering is perfect, two and a half turns lock to lock, not a trace of understeer and yet it still isn't nervous at the back. It looks fantastic too. They're both ... more

    5 Stars BUY ONE now - I MEAN NOW 02/12/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very, very, very, very quick!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Basic interior

    Let's put this into context. This car was voted best car of the year in the JD Power survey last year, and second the previous year, after Subaru's Legacy. This shows that people think that it is good. Having driven one, good isn't the word that i'd use to describe it - STUPENDOUS is. Looking at the car, it looks quite nice, especially with the 17" alloys, the rear spoiler is wicked and that vent on the bonnet looks stunning! Starting to drive from a set of traffic lights, starting slowly into second gear and then flooring the throttle. The acceleration until 2800 rpm. was reached was good ... more

    5 Stars Oh how I miss it 20/03/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Awesome speed, great car for the money

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Incredible fule consumption

    The only thing worse than never having driven the Scoob is to have driven one and have it taken away. I spent 7 glorious months at the wheel of this monster and I loved every second. Yes, it cost a bomb to feed but when you floor it, you fight to stop yourself laughing at the sheer power and the sound of the jet taking off. People who know cars trun and stare. People who don't laugh and point at the spoiler on the boot. Once you get in, you know you are at the heart of something special. You don't plonk yourself in, you ease yourself in gently making tiny adjustments so you are ready for what ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages pratical but mine blowing!!!!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages interior styling leaves abit to be desired

    Well when i was younger, a passenger, the sound of one of these motors would have my head spinning trying to view the beast which was giving off such a raw, ear trembling exhaust note. then the relatively normal, but sporty looking car would fly past. At this point i was a little dissapointed as being a young boy i expected it to be space craft or something of that wild nature to be creating that noise. As i grew well into my teens i respected the engineering which went into these cars, the preformance which they are capable of is out of this world! i had to get one!! Now i sit here writing ... more

    5 Stars It Goes Like Poo Off A Stick! 10/09/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Speed, Looks And Power!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Miles To The Gallon Can Drop To 9 If You Drive The Car Hard!

    Well, The Impreza That I Went In Was Fully Modified By 'Prodrive UK' It Added 100BHP (So It Now Has Approx 280BHP, And 280 LB Per Foot Of Torque) Driving An Impreza Is Really Comfortable, Firm And Very Quick Off The Mark! The Engine Spec: 2.0L Flat 4 Turbo The Inpreza Looks Better With 17 Inch Alloys On It, A Low Hard Suspension Kit Is Essential, A Induction Kit (Ramair For Example) Its Good For Performance And A Big Exhaust To Let Everything Out! The Exhaust Sounds Great Too. A Fully Kitted Out Impreza Can Do Around 180mph. The Low Rumble of An Impreza Coming Along The Road Is Enough To Turn ... more

    5 Stars How could you not want this 01/01/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Babe magnet

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    The fact that this is a rally car speaks for itself. It's reliability, performance and safety features would be second to none against another road car plus the fact it has been voted best car of the year two years in a row! What about the colour, there's only one. The famous subaru metallic blue, superb. In fairness i wouldn't regard subaru as a top manufacturer however the one really good car that they make is an absolute gem. My mate has a subaru and the number of chicks he's pulled just for having it is unbelievable(he's ugly!!) The impreza is quite pricey at 26 grand but boy she's worth ... more

    4 Stars Cracking Car - Shame about the Styling 02/02/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Engine

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Design

    What could have been a wonderful car is merely a good one. Even though Subaru have greatly improved the ride and handling of this boy racer's dream, i do feel that the attention to detail on the new Impreza towards the front end of said dream is greatly lacking in innovation, taste and sheer class. I mean, who designs these things? Stevie Wonder? A great piece of automotive genius, betrayed by a travesty of design. The people have spoken and the people say "Forget the new look Impreza, because the original is here to stay." ... more

    Advantages Advantages goes like shit off a shovel

    Disadvantages Disadvantages lights

    once upon a time there was this incredibly sexy road goin version of an even sexier rally car. they changed it and made little tweeks to it to make it even better, un til one day they decided to change the lights. this is where it all goes wrong. i mean, what happened, did some1's pencil slip on the drawing board, or did they mean it to look like a big girls car? i used to long after the impreza wrx, now im firmly converted to a misubishi evo 6 or 7. sorry to flame you like this guys, but i mean, come on, it ruins the shape completly, no smooth lines, just a big bolbous ugly front end. neve ... more
