2007 Subaru Impreza 2.0RX Sport review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent performance and handling with modest running costs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car. I am disappointed with the quality of the audio system.
General comments?
This car is a UK right-hand-drive Impreza fitted with a 160bhp quad-cam engine and electronic VVT. The chassis, body and interior are similar to the WRX.
The car drives absolutely great. Cornering is like its on rails. The engine is very smooth and will rev easily to 7000rpm.
Seat comfort is good. Steering, braking, clutch, gearshift are all excellent.
There is a little more tyre roar than I would like. I don't like the 'fish eye' ventilators on the dashboard. The boot (trunk) is plenty big enough.
Fuel economy is surprisingly good for a four-wheel drive car and even with hard driving I easily hit 30mpg. Insurance and repair costs are lower than for the turbo version, which was the main reason for buying this particular model.
