Step Drift : Subaru Impreza WRX Type UK Review
The range of Subaru Imprezas has been vast, usually involving two or three random letters thrown on after Impreza such as 22B, P1, STi, WRX, WR1 and the list goes on. So here we have another variant of Subaru's classic rally car for the road - the WRX Type-UK.Yes the Impreza WRX Type-UK is an edition just for us Brits. Mechanically identical to the WRX but offering greater value with a security tracking system, touch screen satellite navigation and a Bluetooth hands-free phone kit.
That's not all though, available with free servicing for the first five years or 50,000 miles and an extended warranty taking that cover up to five years or 50,000 miles too.Available for the same price as the standard WRX, the Type-UK starts from £20,945 with the higher-spec SL version costing £22,445. The new 2.5 litre engine used throughout the WRX range provides more torque lower down in the rev-range making the performance more accessible in everyday driving.
Power is up to 230PS and you can feel the improvement behind the wheel, sixty appearing from rest in 5.9s on the way to a maximum of 143mph with a trade off in fuel consumption - from 30mpg to 27.4mpg. Standard equipment levels are high, including air-conditioning, CD player, driver, passenger and side airbags as well as new HID headlamps with pop-up washers. Plus power steering, air-conditioning, remote central-locking, a hill holder clutch, spoiler kit and 15" alloy wheels, so the WRX certainly doesnt want for standard equipment.
Factor in a Category One remote alarm and immobiliser, sports seats and four-channel anti-lock brakes, and it looks good value. The engineers at Subaru have spent most effort fine-tuning the engine, suspension, bodyshell and steering making the latest generation Impreza a more complete package if not quite so exciting as the original first generation model.The Type-UK deal is for a limited period.Hill Holder - A small rear brake that, after being set by the brake pedal, whilst the clutch is depressed the car will not roll back.
