johned Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 If you are worried about fuel consumption then forget a petrol impreza in my opinion as you buy a petrol impreza for the fun of driving and not fuel economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesJDMwagon Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Pretty sure it's not as simple with a wrx to convert think to make them last the need head work I.e harder valves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_uk Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 i dont think anyone will ever buy an impreza for mpg apart from the diesel maybe, even in a NA 2.0 the petrol makes my wallet cry, but for me it was the AWD and i always wanted a subaru even if it is a baby for now, could have gone for something else with the same power and alot cheaper fuel easily but i imagine we all have our reasons for getting one. but it feels solid, so far completely reliable and the engine grumbles along nicely no matter what i do to it. never once lost any grip either. wouldnt even consider changing. out of the 2 options i would go wrx without hesitation. hopefully i will be moving onto a wrx or sti in the future, soon as possible. never seen someone look unhappy driving one. just my opinion :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I have the 08 wrx hatchback so the 2.5 engine. Mpg is an issue for me as a do mileage for work. I get at best 27 mpg after a few little mods. I do love the car for everything other than distance. I keep thinking about a second car for distance. But when I think about it I enjoy the Impreza to much after all life is to short to drive boring cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beags Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Wish I got 27 mpg my Sti gets 24ish. But has got the prodrive upgrade and I drive it like I stole it. Sent from my SM-G357FZ using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muziqaz Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Haha, yeah, since I bought mine, I am 100% sure I bought it not for MPG as it drinks like a fish and does not like being driven softly, so I have no other options than to just enjoy it :D I just wish there was an option to switch off MPG gauge on the dash.

And when I'm out of traffic I just drive it like I stole it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
