What's the Modern Equivalent of an Impreza Wagon?
Discussion
Been perusing Autotrader and nothing tickles my fancy.
Thinking about it, I want something small, hatchback or estate and ideally 4 wheel drive. Lightbulb moment: and Impreza Wagon.
But given that they're all old and knackered or messed around with, what would be the modern day equivalent?

Suzuki S-Cross Boosterjet.
Off-brand Japanese marque, lightweight, 4wd, turbo, manual, cheap.
Can be tuned to 170-180bhp which doesn't sound much but power to weight is reasonable.
Plenty of tuning parts shared with the Swift Sport.
You can probably buy lowering springs if you want to slam it down.
Probably closer to the Impreza in character than a more refined Leon Estate for example.
Of course, there is still the Levorg from Subaru which is basically an Impreza estate, 1.6 turbo engine has decent power, but CVT gearbox is unappealng.

That Suzuki is a great suggestion. I didn't even know that it existed. Off-brand Japanese marque, lightweight, 4wd, turbo, manual, cheap.

Or how about a Subaru Levorg? probably as close as you can get to the Impreza Wagon.Hyundai Kona GT might fit the bill too, 170bhp, awd and practical.
