Subaru Impreza reviews
Total 11 Subaru Impreza owner reviews
Pros: Stable, easy to drive thanks to AWD, will drive all roads and off-roads. Under normal conditions of use, the running gear of the machine is practically indestructible.
Cons: Of course, fuel consumption depends on the weight of the leg, but this is a matter of course for this type of car. Like the Japanese, they like to rust in different places on the body. Maybe for someone expensive to maintain, because this car, in my opinion, is for enthusiasts and "gasoline heads". The oil level and oil changes must be closely monitored.
