Nabuhay ulit ang Impeza option!

We're leaning towards the hatchback. Actually, it's going to be my wife's car. Ok lang, conjugal. Flexible cargo loading and our youngest son's preference swung the vote. Will try to schedule a test drive soon. Salamat ulit!

Sa wakas, we've put in the order for the 2.0 sedan! It felt like there was a little more leg room for the rear passengers. Not sure if it was in my mind or the additional so many inches did make a difference. The cargo space was also weird when I did a last look yesterday. Though the hatchback can take taller loads thru the back, the sedan gave me more cargo space for the things we'd normally carry. I'm also a sucker for 2 tail pipes.

Will have to wait till end of June though. We want a white one. Thanks to Tsikot and everyone who gave their comments and advice.

yeah. even me, im having a hard time understanding why the cargo for the sedan is usually bigger than a hatchback.. hatches should be the one who is bigger in terms of cargo space. same scenario ito for the sx4 sedan and the hatch. bakit nga ba ganun?

2008 Model. The first one that came out.

equipped parin with 6 airbags yan bro.

The airbags can easily identified to eliminate guesswork.

I have a 2010 model.

Look at the A pillars, on both sides you will se SRS. Look at the C pillar, you will also see SRS. That's the curtains. 4 curtains.

Then you have usuall front airbags, driver and passenger side. That's 2.

Finally, you have the seat side airbags for both front seats. Look at the seats from the side when you open the front doors, you'll see SRS. So that's another 2 airbags.

8 airbags, AFAIK.

I've checked a 2008 way back, they don't have curtains.

Sorry medyo OT pero I'm interested in owning a Subaru particularly an Impreza but I'm hesitant. In terms of maintenance cost, kalevel na ba ng mga luxury brands like BMW? Or still around Honda Ford-level? Thanks!
