  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Its a bit all or nothing but it works very well with the 6 speed gearbox. The engines not particular torquey low down and you need to take to at least 4000rpm to really get going, but take it beyond 6000rpm and it pulls hard. The handlings good too, its no impreza but body roll is minimal and its comfy too. Overall tho its a great drive

    Easy
