Isoproturon Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 I had a MY93 WRX a few years ago and really miss the performance, so was looking into getting an '04 plate estate (AWD) WRX. Roughly what sort of "economy" could I get on a mixture of roads, including a lot of A-road driving? Cheers, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rill Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Bit like asking how long a piece of string is I'm afraid mate? So many factors to consider it doesn't bear thinking about. I consider myself to be doing well if I get 200 miles out of a tank! I didn't buy it for it's fuel economy though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isoproturon Posted June 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Well... not really; I can tell you how many MPG my old A4s did, and my 318i does, on this sort of journey. It is a pretty consistent figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rill Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Well if anyone can give you a more precise answer to the question Roughly what sort of "economy" could I get on a mixture of roads then their crystal ball is obviously far more powerful than mine. I WAS trying to be light-hearted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isoproturon Posted June 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I think you'll find I said a mixture including a lot of A-road driving. From that you can deduce I am not referring to "a lot of town driving". Amazes me that people have the time on their hands to reply with useless answers.

Sparticus Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 20-25mpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killban Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 I drive 15 miles to work on A roads, B roads and town driving. I get 21mpg average from my 2.5l 07MY Impreza. On a run down to the South Coast a few weeks ago, I got 27mpg. That was M40 -> A34, so constant 70mph stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] now now .. put your handbags away ladies Seems to me me that the original question was a fair one. Why for all we know, you may be the donut for even knowing what a pruis is (what is one anyway? ) I used to have a 2004 WRX "wagon" (5 door) I used to get around 22mpg miles from mixed driving, but this would plumet with some spirited driving. Absolutely superb car though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garcon magnifique Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I think the best thing about the Impreza is that it doesn't have a fuel computer telling you what mpg it's getting. So unless you're sad/poor enough to actually want to work it out you'll never know! Just fill 'erup with V Power when she's empty and enjoy! Seriously though, for a newer model (2003/4/5MY 2 litre or 2006/7MY 2.5 litre) you should expect somewhere around mid 20s for realistic mixed driving. Which (trust me on this) is alot better than the early ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
