New 2018 Subaru Impreza 2.0i - Has anyone got one??

[rastapasta]

Morning All,

I was just wondering if anyone has bought one of these?? I am highly tempted to change the wifes corrolla for one. I have no interest in the 1.6 engine so would be 2.0i or nothing given the weight. I have a 2.5i legacy so i know the brand but just to hear peoples thoughts would be nice.

Thank you so much

Unless you're a diehard Subaru fan or need the AWD, I would look elsewhere personally. I've had a look at the new Impreza at a local dealer and while it's smartly styled, it's very expensive and the 2.0 petrol engine is claimed to be quite thirsty. If you want a Subaru I'd go for a lightly used Levorg personally.

Thanks alot for the reply. I am a diehard subaru fan and also j live in Switzerland so I need the Awd for the snow. Also I have a 2013 legacy 2.5 which likes a drink too but my wife needs it for the kids as it's bigger than the Toyota. So no point in a levorg as the legacy will probably be traded for one in a few years

If you need AWD but don't need or want an SUV, then there aren't many other options. However do consider the following:

Audi A3 Quattro
BMW 1 Series XDrive
Infiniti Q30 AWD
Mercedes A250 4MATIC
VW Golf R

Otherwise you're limited to small SUVs such as the Dacia Duster, Suzuki Vitara etc..

I'm not sure if all of these are available in Switzerland though, this is just in the UK market.
