The emergence of "hot" versions of the Subaru Impreza meets the growing demand for production sports cars. Numerous technologies inherited from Subaru World Rally cars are embodied here. The basic architecture - rigid body, both independent suspensions, permanent four-wheel drive - is complemented by the symmetrical mechanical arrangement and the underlying powerful 2.0-liter horizontally opposed turbocharged engine for unrivaled acceleration. After restyling in 1996, the top-end Impreza was slightly updated along with the base version.
Cars of the Impreza Turbo series are always more aggressive in appearance than the standard model. The cars are equipped with an aerodynamic body kit and a rear spoiler, 16-inch alloy wheels and 205/50 R16 tires, ventilated disc brakes are installed at the front and rear. The equipment includes: full power accessories, air conditioning, sports seats, radio preparation. The car could have been fitted with a high-quality six-speaker audio system, a powerful radio, some carbon interior trim, a gear knob, pedals and a Momo steering wheel. In practicality, the Impreza turbo station wagon is not inferior to the usual five-door version - the rear seats fold asymmetrically in parts.
The power of the 2-liter boxer turbo EJ205 with multipoint multipoint injection in the Impreza specification that was offered on the Russian market is 218 hp. from. (at 5600 rpm), and the torque reaches 290 Nm (at 4000 rpm). With such characteristics, the station wagon is able to accelerate from zero to "hundreds" in 6.5 seconds and to a maximum speed of 228 km / h. The engine is connected to a 5-speed manual transmission, consumes about 13.7 liters of gasoline in the urban cycle and about 8 in the suburban cycle. The Subaru Impreza offers the best driving performance in the compact class. Ideal road handling is ensured by fully independent suspension, power steering for improved agility, and permanent all-wheel drive. If we talk about the dimensions of the body of the station wagon Subaru Impreza, then they are: length 4350 mm, width 1690 mm, height 1440 mm. The wheelbase is 2520 mm and the turning radius is 5.2 meters. The boot capacity of the first generation Impreza station wagon is 365 liters according to the VDA standard. The asymmetrically folding rear sofa increases the trunk of the 5-door Impreza to 1282 liters.
The following safety systems were offered for the Impreza 1996-2000: two front airbags for the driver and passenger, 4-channel anti-lock braking system, three-point seat belts in the front and outer rear seats. The all-wheel drive is also an excellent support for confident and safe driving on slippery and muddy roads.
The first generation Subaru Impreza attracted by high quality workmanship, good aerodynamic performance, decently trimmed interior with comfortable front seats, as well as an optimally tuned, moderately stiff suspension. There were also downsides: not enough rear space, little storage space. Owners of used cars note some difficulties in finding spare parts and in servicing a boxer engine.
