I saw this yesterday at the Subaru stand at the Ploughing Championships.
I was talking to Derek Brady(?) from Castle Garage about it.
It's a 1.6 petrol with 114ps. It comes in manual or CVT. He reckons the CVT is a lot nicer to drive and the CVT is in a lower tax bracket.
This new model impreza wont come in diesel form. He said it has the same chassis as the XV, just that the XV is higher up, and if you want diesel, you'll have to get the XV.
I thought it looked well.
