Since its inception in 1992, the Subaru Impreza has been garnering popularity and discussion among car enthusiasts due to its compactness, ingenious exterior design and easy handling. It is especially a hot commodity item in the UK where it is often the center of subject and conversation among car hobbyists. Previous Impreza models are only available in the UK as an import, so it’s no wonder then that they always get heads turning when they zip by the road. The emotions generated by the sight of one on the street are often of awe and envy.
The Subaru Impreza is not available at your ordinary Subaru dealership. As mentioned, it is only available via import, and the ones that do make it on the streets of UK often come heavily modified to accommodate superior speed, handling and function. Japanese vehicle import is a huge business in the UK, and every year, car enthusiasts anticipate the release of the new vehicle lineup. The 2015 Subaru Impreza WRZ is one such car and has already been featured in several prominent car shows.
For the 2015 model, the five-door model, which has been available in previous years, will not be released this year, so that leaves only the Sedan version available. It has an impressive power output of 268 ponies with 258 pound-feet of torque. The stick-shift model will also have a six-speed manual transmission available with an additional cog over the 2014 version. Despite the array of features, the WRZ is just a negligible 60 pounds heavier than the previous.
Other features expected for the 2015 Impreza WRM includes the following highlights:
* Torque-vectoring system reduces understeer
* Turbo Boxer engine with 2.0iliter-injection and 268-HP
* A price tag of slightly over $26,565, the price of the 2014 model
The Impreza is one of the most beloved rally cars in racing circles in the UK. If you happen to be one of the lucky few that have one of these babies in your garage, then you will obviously need auto insurance for it just as you would with any other vehicle. However, most insurance companies will not even consider covering an import vehicle much less one that is heavily modified.
You will need to specifically speak with a Subaru car insurance agency with a solid background and history of providing coverage for import models. As with coverage for an ordinary car, premiums will depend on multiple factors, such as geographical area, driving history and mileage covered. Regardless of whether you use your Subaru for daily commute or just occasionally as a recreational vehicle or for competition, import auto insurance companies have a plan that is right for you.
There is a reason Japan is considered the head of the pack in the automobile industry. Every sector from superior engine dynamics to sleek interior and exterior design make companies like Subaru the top of its field. Models that are only available outside of Japan as an import require backing from a modified car insurance group.
