Subaru Impreza Estate 2.0 Sport 4WD 5d (1999/S) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
A great deal of 4x4 car for the money (after first 2 years depreciation).
Costs
Reasonable on a 'per mile' basis, easy to insure as well at reasonable cost.

On the road
Driving
Great whatever type of road (not so good if pot-holed).
Performance
0-60 average, but road-holding and midrange superb.
-
Living with it
Reliability
After a new gearbox, brake caliper and alarm, seems ok!
Image
Assuming it's in the 'right' colour with the 'right' wheels.
Comfort
Good for the driver, ok for front passenger, poor for those in the back (unless they are children).

Should be better for the type of car.
