1995 Subaru Impreza UK Turbo Wagon(5door) review from UK and Ireland

Faulty coolant temp sensor failed.

Part was £25 from a main dealer.

They fixed it for 1 hours labour.

Nothing seems to go wrong with these cars, and the dealers seem very knowledgeable and helpful.

As standard the car has a fair bit of turbo lag.

Very good performance once on boost and excellent traction in all weather conditions.

Handles like a much smaller car too.

All the controls are still tight and not sloppy, this is a sign of a well made car.

Bodywork is immaculate, but on the tinny side.

Beware of expensive running costs, insurance, petrol and consumables (brakes and tyres) Also 2 services a year (cheap at around £100 each time)

I use it everyday to work and see 20 ish mpg, it doesn't use much more when pressing on a bit.

I used the car for a camping trip to Cornwall last year. It swallowed all our camping gear, clothes and 2 mountain bikes attached to the rear.

It drove faultlessly and was perfect for the trip.

I took it easy all the way (over 700 mile round trip) at 60mph on the motorways.

I managed a superb 31mpg!!!

I can't think of another car for the money I would replace it with.
