THE hatchback variant of the Impreza WRX has always been the poor sales relation of the sedan, which in the old generation evolved into quite a wild looking machine with its surfboard rear wing. However, in the new generation the milder hatch actually is the better looking vehicle with its much more homogenous style. It even has hints of that new automotive fad, the cross-over vehicle thanks to its five-door design and all-wheel drive. The hatch seats five, the front passengers in sports seats, headrests and lap-sash seatbelts are standard all-round and there's a 60/40 split-folding rear seat to improve luggage space.
