I have run a Legacy for almost the last five years. A 2L NA estate. But now I find I have a real hankering for an Impreza. A really strong hankering. I want that bit more power and speed and poke and just fun.

But: I've also managed to coax a regular 36-38mpg from my Legacy on my 60-mile daily round trip commute, so while I want all the things I might get from a WRX / STi / w'ev, I also don't want to find I'm crying myself into work every morning at 40 miles an hour because I'm upset about the fuel consumption.

I know I'll end up spending more on fuel than I currently do, but I want to go into it with my eyes open and a genuine appreciation of what I'll be in for

So whatever Impreza you run, I'd really like to hear what fuel consumption you get, and what sort of driving you get it from. My commute is almost all free-flowing DC, with a mile or two of wiggling at each end, so obv it would be the closest comparison if that's similar to what you do. But I don't mind, I'd like to hear from you whatever.

If you've got any model of WRX or STi, saloon or wagon - please take a minute to put some figures up here if you can. Thanks loads!
