3 out of 5 stars

For Practical bodystyle means this motorsport-inspired estate appeals to families

Against Running costs are high, and the Impreza's interior looks and feels cheap

Avoid… Hard-driven examples

  • 4. This hatchback's load bay is much more versatile than the saloon's
  • 5. The cabin is plasticky and has a low-rent feel
