Very good balanced review that, though I think the 2nd paragraph sums up the risk Subaru are taking......

"Yes, it still has a flat-four engine and four-wheel drive, but most mainstream hatchback buyers don't care about that. So Subaru is in danger of alienating its loyalists with no guarantee of bringing in newcomers. And if that's a questionable move for the mainstream versions, it could be doom for the hottest one."

sounds very much like a failed atempt to broaden the market for the impreza. and in doing so they have even put off the loyalists, very silly of them

I still think we'll get the saloon in Europe when this one flops.

The best review so far...

Would you want to pay £400 road tax on top of that as well....
