Paris Show : 2007 Subaru Impreza 1.5R

Well it might not be the typical Impreza you've got in mind but nevertheless, one cant only rely on WRX's & STi's to make money in Europe's mainland. So, Subaru Europe decided to present a poor mans -or more politically correct, a new basic version of their mid-sized Impreza at the Paris International Motor Show, which by the way is officially named, Mondial de l'Automobile. Tres chick, don't you think ?
Back to the basic Impreza version, it gets a brand new 4cylinder 1.5 litre boxer engine that delivers a "whopping" 105 Hp at 6.400 rpm and 142 Nm of peak torque at 3.200 rpm. No turbo thrills here but at least Subaru's logistic department didn't cut off the 4wheel drive system... (performance figures will be announced at the show)

Scobby should do well in this segment as their care are some of the safest according to the ratings in the US. If I were is that segment I would buy one of these over a yaris or fit crap in a heartbeat.

A great entry level car for Subaru,that has got the looks and probably the usuall Suabru driving experience as well.
A great move.This will sell and probably will become the class leader soon.

105 hp out of 1.5 liters is okay. Most of the competition has 1.6 liter engines so direct comparisons are hard to make.

Rubbish car.

The Impreza is a cheap car, cheap interior, tinny doors, and it's ugly.

Now without a powerful engine to make up its shortcomings, this 1.5 Impreza is a joke.
