2009 subaru Impreza reviews

Subaru Impreza wrx turbo 2009

Went into dealer originally to buy the new diesel version but as grunt did not match looks tried turbo petrol wrx, made me realize what I had been missing in my driving. Besides effortless power what struck me most was the wonderfully absorbent suspension, uncanny stability and engine smoothness. Running costs higher than my old Octavia Vrs diesel but insurance only slightly higher at around £300 and fuel consumption around 30 most of the time. Being wider and with a longer wheelbase than the Skoda interior has useful volume. Seats v.good but dash could have been designed more attractively though the big central rev-counter maintains the performance image. Car relatively cheap to buy but first drive leaves you in no doubt where the money has gone- the wonderful engine and drivetrain.
