Subaru Impreza sedan test drive since 2012 sedan

Under the hot

Our people do not go to a bakery in a taxi! So that the bread does not cooled along the way from the store to the house, use the new Sedan Subaru-Ereza, Maxim Sachkov advises. Photo: George Sadkov.
Always treated sedans as large bags on wheels. Consciousness opposes the fact that a four -door car can have a sports character. What if I change my opinion? After all, in front of me, as they said in bakery, still hot, fresh novelty from Subaru Sedan Impreza with a 2-liter engine in the sport version. Even the prices at the time of preparation of the material are unknown (for the guideline I give the cost of the sedan with a 1.5 l engine in the basic configuration of 590,000 rubles).
The sedan is practically no different from the hatchback (ZR, 2007, No. 11). Behind, a person of medium addition feels quite comfortable both in the legs and in the heads of freedom is enough. And additional millimeters of length added a useful volume of the trunk. Look, this is perfectly included in a weekly supply of products purchased in a supermarket and sorted at small packages. There will still be a place for another luggage, alas, small -sized: the cargo compartment is long, but low, and the opening is modest. Moreover, part of the space eats the inner loops for such a design infrequently you will find in modern cars. But under the floor of the trunk, a full -sized spare wheel.
In the configuration of sports, convenient front seats with integrated head restraints and developed lateral supports. With such chairs, you hope to choose a landing by itself, the benefit of the range of adjustments. But no: decide to lift the pillow higher, and the rim of the steering wheel begins to block the devices. It would be chosen to raise the steering column, but its move, it turns out, has already been chosen. Involuntarily sitting down of course, it tunes in the corresponding fret in the sporting, but you see no more than a small child suitable for the checkout in the store.
Now quickly deliver the products to the table so that the baking does not cool, and the dumplings do not thaw. Please, a two -liter engine can easily cope with this task. Only the machine gun holds back its beautiful impulses, so if you want more quickness from the aggregate, use the manual mode. In accordance with the engine, a suspension and steering operate. Impreza changes the direction clearly and clearly, but without straining sports sharpness and rigidity. Sometimes her behavior leads, but you have to restrain yourself, every time recalling that you are on a public road.
However, if in the trunk something beating, like bottles or chicken eggs, your leisurely style will calmly accept the car. Under the control of phlegmatic, the engine does not behave at all aggressively, the machine is smoothly sorting through the transmission, and the suspension does not shake the soul. True, on small irregularities, a small trembling runs through the salon, this is the wine of low -profile wheels with a dimension of 205/50R17, set in the configuration of sports. Such a shaking is unlikely to drive oil from milk, but delivers some discomfort to the driver and passengers.
While driving home, the bread still cooled a little. Probably, a more powerful version, such as WRX, would have come better for ambulance. But here you have to be more accurate so as not to burn ...
