This car's buying proposition will depend on your perspective. Before it arrived, those wanting or needing all-wheel drive in a family-sized car were limited to fashion-conscious crossovers or clunky off roaders from budget brands. For a small but significant band of buyers, this Subaru will be a much more palatable option, priced directly against mainstream Focus-sized family hatches but, with 4WD and a lot more equipment like auto transmission included, offering much more as part of the deal. Of course, if like most people, you don't especially need that kind of package, then the charms of this car might pass you by. Such a person might question this Subaru's slightly higher running costs and less cutting edge driving dynamics - though would surely still value the winter peace of mind and dry weather grip of all that extra traction. In other words, it'll be horses for courses which, in all likelihood, will make this model a rare sight on our roads. For its likely buyers, that'll suit just fine. They'd prefer this car to be a well-kept secret, a supremely sensible choice in a country where rain is forecast on over 160 days each year. So what if it's a non-conformist choice with a cabin that fights the fashionable trends and a distinctive Boxer engine spinning away beneath the bonnet? What matters is that ultimately, there's nothing else quite like it. See the best Subaru Impreza Lease Deals at LeaseLoco below.
