Guest dangerousandy Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I have just driven the new shape Impreza. After the initial shock of the looks I decided to give the car a fair chance. I have driven all previous models of the Impreza, from standard 1.8 models to full blown P1's and most other models, so I have a fair idea of what they should feel like. The model I got to drive was a base model 1.5, so this probably is not a fair review but who cares! It was really really gutless - a lot slower than a Astra 1.4 Club!! it also looks rediculous:( on the plus side it does handle really well and the boxer engine sounds great at full revs. Maybe the WRX and STi versions are better...... watch this space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Not good, the bug eye version was also fugly but at least it went ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the cover for that mag in Tesco's (other supermarkets are NOT available) whilst I was looking at Banzai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Sorry but that is a horrible, horrible car. I'd rather have my dad's Astra. The latest Impreza is going to ruin Subaru. Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I have sen some half decent pics of the new ones, however, the 1.5 is gutless... the wrx and stis shoul be a lot better. But not the best looking cars, which is a pity, as I ued to like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 They ruined it when they decided to change it to a hatchback!! I thought they were dropping the boxer motor in favour of a inline 4 pot like the evo this time around. Guess nt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Saw a new WRX demonstrator on the road last week... What a crap looking car What were they thinking....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 They went hatchback for the rally, getting hammered by the other hatches too much. Wheel base and weight limits... However, I think they should have done what was done in the past, 2 door whore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 The latest Impreza is going to ruin Subaru. Gaz. A bland car for the masses and like many Euro box.....It might make Subaru more $$$$ Also, does the complete change make a difference to insurance groups too ? Just thinking how many scoobies have been robbed in the past by chav's etc.... I hate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
