Subaru Impreza Sedan
 The first model Subaru Impreza appeared on the market in 1992, it was based on a modified platform model Legacy. And a year later the new car replaced the Legacy of the World Rally Championship. After the Subaru Impreza repeatedly won in the championships, the Company Subaru has decided to start mass production models of Subaru Impreza WRX STi, whose technical characteristics have been close to the cars sporty Subaru World Rally Team.

At the international exhibition in New York in April 2007 the world was presented a new model of 3rd-generation Subaru Impreza. This event was a breakthrough in the history of Subaru. Manual Subaru decided to abandon the station wagon and the car appeared in the back "hatchback". Also changed and design of the machine itself. Eighteen months after the exhibition in New York, premiered Subaru Impreza sedan in Moscow. Compared with the previous upgrade car Subaru Impreza 2008 lengthened to 11.5 cm, the wheels have grown to 9.5 cm in the fight for the security of the developers abandoned the frameless doors.

Thus, we consider more in detail the model Subaru Impreza sedan, designed not for the rally, but for everyday life, with an engine capacity of 1.5 liter and automatic transmission. It is a regular, the average car sedan. No hint of a sports body kit, 17 inch wheels, air intake, is responsible for cooling of the turbine engine is also available. All fairly simple.

Sam salon is decorated with a dull gray plastic, hard plastic on the front panel, climate control and audio system designed without the frills. Marvelous psevdotitanovye look inserts on the doors. On the dashboard of all the ergonomic, clear, clear, in their places and nothing is superfluous. Easy steering and being within reach of all major appliances are more than offset the absence of any clear design. Normal, no outstanding ordinary saloon car in the sedan.

With regard to comfort in the cabin, one of the disadvantages is a small and uncomfortable armrest. In principle, in the backseat of a car can hold three adults, but a long ride this can cause discomfort to passengers. One could make the salon and spacious. If you seem inadequate amount of luggage, you can increase it, folding rear seat back (60:40) with special handles.

Horizontal boxer engine capacity of 1.5 liters and power 107hp, automatic transmission Sportshift not provide decent acceleration dynamics. If a sharp push on the accelerator, the car significantly, thinks, and only after that start. If we compare this model with the same Subaru Forester, power of 230 hp with the same parameters, such a delay when driving did not arise, therefore, it is connected with the motor itself.

When driving automatic transmission works smoothly and clearly. For overtaking, and sudden jumps in engine power is clearly not enough and the maneuver is necessary to think in advance. If we translate "automatic" mode sporty driving, the situation is changing, automatic transmission keeps the desired to the last, but when you press the gas from the engine more sound than the speed. On the other hand, this model Subaru Impreza was designed specifically for normal, quiet ride on urban roads and cope with these just fine. Fuel consumption at a quiet ride, approximately 9 liters per 100 kilometers, which also speaks in favor of these machines. With the passage of superelevation on the verge of demolition is necessary to add gas and the car immediately take the right course. Smoothness of movement, great, cobblestones and tram tracks Subaru Impreza goes smoothly and without problems, good steering wheel has excellent feedback, and completely passes into the hands of the driver control the situation on the road. Brakes beyond all praise.

Summarizing all the above, we note that the Japanese company Subaru as always at height, producing not only racing race cars for daring riders, but also quiet cars that are intended for normal driving, characterized by good handling and a high level of comfort. And the presence of symmetrical all-wheel drive and a tuned suspension system give their owners the confidence to any roads.
