2011 Subaru

The Impreza Spec C is one of our favourite cars to come out of Japan in the past 20 years. Lightweight, focused and hugely enjoyable to drive, there's few cars that offer as much bang for buck.

An Impreza Spec C Hatch makes a brilliant performance daily with a good amount of space, Isofix rear seats and a decent size boot. For lots of people, it’s a great balance.

When the opportunity arises, the performance and general driving characteristics are outstanding. Show it a B road or take it on a track day and, for this kind of money, there are few usable, reliable modern cars that will worry it.

This 2011 Impreza Spec C is a fine example, finished in the perfect colour—World Rally Blue. With genuine low mileage, it's exactly the sort of quality we look for in these Spec Cs.

This particular car remains untouched and nicely original and has recently been serviced in our workshop, which included the following:

Engine oil service

Air filter

Cabin filter

Timing belt kit

Front brake discs and pads

Four new tyres

The hatchback has often been overlooked, with earlier incarnations stealing most of the limelight. However, we've recently seen a surge in interest for the hatch—and it's easy to see why.
