Subaru Impreza Sports Wagon (05-08) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 25 September 2006 Perhaps unfairly viewed as the poor relation to the Impreza saloon, the Sports Wagon estate isn't quite as glamorous as the rally-inspired STi. However, it still represents good value, particularly with the WRX, and the non-turbo 2.0R models. New for the 2007 model year is an entry-level 1.5-litre model that aims to offer Subaru's rally heritage and all-wheel drive traction for a few hundred pounds more than the cheapest five-door Ford Focus. Although all versions are good to drive and are well equipped, despite regular revisions and refreshes the Impreza is feeling its age on the inside, with an abundance of hard plastics and old-fashioned angular designs. 3.5 out of 5 Other Subaru reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 3 out of 5 Safety Front and side airbags are fitted to the Impreza, which is perhaps below expectations now for a car in this class. Remote central locking is standard, deadlocks and a Thatcham category one alarm. Sports Wagon is perhaps a little less desirable for thieves in any case.
