Subaru Impreza diesel 2010

4 star review

My wife and I bought this car last year. We love cars, and we wanted something a bit different from the usual, with good handling. We got the diesel and I have to tell you it was a great choice. In spite of the weather you know this car sticks to the tarmac. The engine is efficient, refined and it’s got some sporty feeling though it’s a diesel; it revs fine. Sometimes you may think this is a V6 the smoothness is so great. Take into account that this engine is not isolated in a bubble like other diesels, and it is still is very quiet. The dashboard probably doesn’t feel as well finished as those found in European cars, but everything is well put together and you know it is going to be like that for a while, with reliability being a strong point in Subaru.

Subaru Impreza WRX sedan 2010

4 star review

I recently bought the 2010 WRX sedan version after having owned and loved the 1997 model, and find it quite a different machine. The striking differences are the extra power and reduced turbo lag - other than that, the handling was the same - still magnificent. The pickup is really funny actually, the time spend in first gear is so short its almost unusable - hilarious zipping around ensues. The dash visuals are also brilliant, love the red glow. The dash plastic is horrid though, its just a big lump of plastic and mine has since developed two vibration rattles. Fortunately Subaru offer a 1-year rattle fix guarantee, so I got the first one fixed perfectly for free - the second, new one is very rare and I can live with it. But, the build quality dash on the older version was much nicer. The steering wheel is also quite low and forces me to sit with it between my legs like a go-kart, tall people should test drive this properly first! As for the appearance, I like the more spacey look as opposed to the previous model’s aggressive style which didn’t really suit me. Hate the tail lights and rear spoiler though.

Subaru Impreza Diesel RC spec 2010

5 star review

Recently bought a 2010 Impreza diesel - RC spec. I’ve had an old petrol Impreza and a WRX before and loved them both but fuel consumption and insurance on the WRX meant high running costs - awesome to drive though! I ended up buying a Toyota RAV as a "practical, economical" car with 4WD but in spite of the fact that they get decent reviews I hated it. About as exciting to drive a sliced, white bread and 3 mths after 3 year warranty expired it developed an engine fault which Toyota couldn’t identify but may have been the catalytic converter. I had clear criteria for the replacement - 4WD or AWD to cope with muddy fields and snow, reliable. not too large, cheap to insure, tax and fuel and fun to drive. Extensive research kept bringing me back to Subaru and the diesel Impreza ticked all the boxes. The expert reviews I’ve read mainly say great car, great engine and handling but some query the premium compared to other diesel hatchbacks such as Golf and Ford and wonder is it worth it for AWD? Well trust me if you like driving and appreciate how a car handles then it’s worth every penny extra. Love it.
