  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    A blast to drive - spoils you for other cars (better than a Quattro).

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Stunning! Even with 113k miles, it's still hard to beat.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Never ever let me down - starts first time even in depths of winter.

    It"s not an Impreza

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Hard ride, hard seats - go-kart driving experience. Could use more legroom.
