How's the MY07 Impreza 1.6i sedan?

[Nehsiew]

how's the car? ani1 own it here?

[Carcraze]

Interior is basically the same as the bug-eye version. Find it too dated.

 

The car is rather noisy on the move (one of the reason is its AWD). Power wise, nothing to shout abt.

 

But handling is excellent!

[Nehsiew]

u own 1 of it? the handling realli veri good ar? how come?

If the interior is the same the bug-eye version then it probably has one the smallest rear cabin size among 1.6Ls.

No, I don't own one.

 

My friends dad bought one (the bug eye) for overseas client usage. The car has since been sold thou.

 

When the car was not in use, my friend would drive it when he's sick of his auto car. He brought me to the kallang "track" and the car really handled very well. It took the corners (both sharp and long bends) without any difficulties.

 

the handling realli veri good ar? how come?

The wonders of AWD.

[Azarael]

agreed. noisy boxer, not the quickest on acceleration, but AWD does help in handling cornering and winding roads if u drive fast. interior is okay la, but i think other jap makes are slighty better

the one thing i dont like is subaru changes the look of its impreza o so often....

[Picanto]

but the interior super dull looking.somemore its black colour?

[Russ]

Very small inside.

Esp rear seats.

Noisy, yes, esp. compared to Legacy (super quiet) - nothing to do with AWD or boxer - just poor insulation.

 

Handling - you will be amazed

[Vesfreq]

The previous legacy 2.0I was a sohc. I didn't know too, until the salesman told me.

[Porche]

a 5dr hatchy impreza will be nice

[Duckduck]

looks dam ugly from the front IMO.

boxer engine has higher maintainance. for eg. it will take more effort just to change the spark plugs. the advantage is stability since the piston movement is at a lower position. be prepared to spent more on maintainance and fuel. handling is its strong point

[Jaffa]

Remove airbox (left) wiper solution container (right)

Viola thats abt all. Install mine in a brisk .DIY

[Toyo]

good to know tat. but i find it a bit troublesome. yours probably not the WRX where u need to remove the intercooler. maybe just change to the longer lasting iridium plugs then can save some work
