The latest model Subaru Impreza has been in our market for quite sometime now, but I don’t know about you but I have yet to see one on our road.
Perhaps I’ve just been in the wrong places at the wrong times. The previous generations on the other hand can be seen nearly once a day and it’s a joy to hear it burbling past, thanks to its turbocharged boxer engine.
The Subaru Imprezas that we get here in Malaysia is unique in the sense that they are European spec models brought in from Europe instead of the JDM models that the grey importers bring in. This means no speed limit!
But I’m just curious on why has the takeup of the Impreza been slow compared to its arch-rival the Lancer Evolution? Is it because the Impreza has traditionally been viewed as a hot rally-going sedan instead of its current hatchback incarnation?

There are of course sedan versions of the car. Personally what do you think – do you prefer the sedan variant of the Impreza WRX or the hatchback version? Do vote above and share your opinion in the comments section – I’m pretty sure the people from Motor Image are watching.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments reveal a strong preference for sedans over hatchbacks, citing a more muscular and cohesive appearance, as well as tradition and practicality. Many feel the current Impreza sedan maintains a classic, aggressive look, while the hatchback's design is viewed as less appealing or "feminine." Enthusiasts argue that the sedan's form better suits the Impreza's rally heritage and performance image. Several users criticize the new Impreza's aesthetics, calling it unremarkable or ugly, with some favoring older versions or alternative models like the Evo or Mitsubishi Lancer. Others mention issues with brand perception and warranty service from Motor Image. Overall, there is a consensus that sedans are more attractive, practical, and true to the Impreza’s identity, though some still appreciate the hatchback for its sporty appeal.
