The 2008 Subaru Impreza

The 2008 Subaru Impreza could have been more better if the manufacturer would have care to put some more viable changes to the engine and other features. The affordable small car is ranked quite low for its outdated power train and uninspiring style. However the Impreza could only impress the drive when it comes to fuel efficiency and some amount of safety features. Subaru counts this car among the sporty vehicles of time but to be sporty small car it requires some quality.

The all new Subaru Impreza is a all wheel drive car which is ranked low because of its failure to provide good engine choices. The newly redesigned car could not match the new designs of today's needs. Subaru also provided Impreza wagon and Impreza WRX which are performance oriented cars. The performance of WRX is somewhat reliable but the Impreza midsize car could not impress the critics and auto lovers much.

The car can achieve 20 miles per gallon in the city and 27 miles per gallon on the highway. This is not so impressive because there are other affordable mid size cars like Toyota Camry and others which have more powerful engine and can do the same.

The Subaru Impreza WRX which is performance oriented car has been able to offer impressive performance with its 305 horsepower, 290 lb-ft 2.5 liter four cylinder engine. This car can achieve the milestone of 60 mph in just 6.1 seconds.
