Subaru Impreza (Old)

Overall Average Rating - 84.51%
Position in the Top 100 cars - 64th

It’s the preferred choice of Subaru loyalists, but the old-shape Impreza still knows how to thrill. Fifth in the handling chart, and second for performance, prove that few cars can match the Impreza’s engine and chassis combination. But high servicing and fuel costs put it below the Porsche 911 and Land Rover Discovery in terms of running costs.

Manufacturer Verdict (Position - 6th)

A jump of two positions here is a great achievement given the big bills Subaru owners face – the range got the lowest running costs score. Top 10 finishes in six of our categories helped to offset this.
