Rally legend, roadgoing performance icon, practical family transport, reliability champion: how many things can one car be? Well, the turbocharged four-wheel-drive Subaru Impreza really does have it all.
Many cars are described as 'iconic' and 'legendary' but few have such solid credentials as the Subaru Impreza. Still fewer can claim to be both practical family transport and performers at a supercar level.
Since 1992, Subaru's Impreza has occupied the cutting edge of affordable performance motoring. It has brought epic turbocharged performance to more than virtually any other car and, thanks to its four-wheel-drive system, brought a fresh appreciation of what handling and grip a saloon car could offer.
The Impreza's credibility was also consistently bolstered by years of stunning victories in World Rallying with the likes of Colin McRae and Richard Burns.
Subaru Impreza Turbo provides the definitive history of Subaru's road and rally star, from its birth in Japan right up to the modern-day hatchback. Impreza Turbo, WRX and STi are all covered in unprecedented detail, including models sold in Europe, Japan and other world markets. Befitting the Impreza's status as arguably the most beloved car of a generation of enthusiasts and tuners, there's plenty of advice on maintenance and modification too.
