Subaru Impreza WRX Review

Reliability and Quality3.5 out of 5

All Subarus benefit hugely from the Japanese company's two-pronged heritage: years of World Rally Championship success, and even more years of building cars for farmers. The Impreza is a mighty tough car. They tend to get used very hard on road and track, and aren't indestructible, but they come out of the factory in very sturdy shape.

What's changed recently is the quality of the interior, which now uses a much better quality of plastics than earlier versions. The cars are well built and well finished, but don't expect German or even Swedish levels of material quality.
