The classic is my absolute all time favourite car - I got nothing but love for it. Would pick it over any other car on the planet all day long.


The bug I nearly cried when I first saw the front end back then...

The blob grew on me over the years, now I own one.

The hawkeye was instant on me - no time needed.

The hatch.. well. For me it is not an Impreza, I would never buy one, never lust after one and I never get the funny feeling I get whenever I see any of the other models drive by or parked up. It still makes me a bit sad that the Impreza turned into that. Anyway...

The newest saloon - juries out.

All in all, since the days of Colin Mcrae on PS1 when I was 14/15 I have been fanatically obsessed and in love with Scoobies. The look, the sound, the feeling.
I would as I said already choose one any day over any other car on the planet in a heartbeat.

1006. Hatch

It is utterly bereft of any style whatsoever. The Impreza is and never has been a beautiful car, but they all looked purposeful until the hatch arrived which just looks like it was styled by a bunch of blind retarded baboons.

I have to be totally honest in that when I first saw the Hatch I thought it looked like the ******* child of a Kia Rio and a Ford Focus but the design has really grown on me, I prefer the current saloon shape to the hatch but I do like them both.

If you compare the Impreza hatch to the Evo hatch then there is no contest, as bad as you believe the Impreza hatch to be then it's a real looker when compared to the Evo hatch.

The design of any of the Impreza range has I believe always been 'purposed' rather than asthetically pleasing - I mean the classic has I believe never been the best looking car out there has it?

Time and markets move on, and perhaps Subaru no longer see the European market as important and will design a car that will please their major markets - has anyone seen the new Ford Focus?

What were Ford thinking with the current design - they are trying to appeal to as broad a range of customers in the world market as the R&D costs sky rocket they are trying to spread the costs across all their markets.






Now I prefer the original Focus to the current design, but I can see the need for Ford to market a 'world' car the same as Subaru have.

I may not agree with it but it would appear that a lot of the traditional Impreza owners are no longer important or relevant to Subaru as they have changed their 'core' market.

Oh, and by the way PSLewis and f1_fan I believe people, time and cars move on and perhaps it's about time you...

It's 2011 and you use the term ghayers as an insult and yet it is me who needs to move on.

I don't care what impression I give you as have no time for people who are homophobic!

I'm a big Hawkeye fan

Just don't like the weight increase over a Classic

But then I am an eighties child, low weight and no driver aids!!
