Now repackaged right into a more solid, integrated looking body, the Impreza emerges as a sedan along with a hatch, both with four passenger doors.

Superb performance may come as standard, the WRX hot-shot version even more so and also the level of grip afforded through the four wheel drive system needs to be experienced to become believed.

The inside trim looks a bit cheap occasionally, but the looks can deceive; despite looking flimsy the inside panels are extremely durable.

A regular high flyer when it comes to ownership satisfaction, Impreza lives as much as its name – it truly impresses.
