    Just wondering has anyone on here driven/owned a 00-02 1.6 Impreza, and what are your general opinions on it.

    slow, not terribly good looking, and cashing in on the success of the proper Impreza.

    Oh, and they're very thirsty too.

    The only reasons I can think of buying that particular model Impreza was because of the ability, performance and pedigree of the WRX/STi versions.

    If Gormley had an Impreza it would be the 1.6 version. Enough said...

    Hi - not sure if you are talking about the original Impreza or newer version. The original 1.6 was front wheel drive the newer one AWD. I have never driven the newer one but have a 00 "old" model. It's not a performance car by any means but 0-60 is nowhere near 14seconds - somewhere between 11 & 12 I'd say and will do an average of 39 to 40mpg. All depends what you want out of a car but I'm happy with mine.
