5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive Impreza Reference Book, 3 Aug 2003

By A Customer

This book in my opinion has taken over from the Chris Rees Impreza Turbo - You and Yours book as the definitive book for any Impreza enthusiast. It covers the history of Subaru, the cars that came before the Impreza and every aspect of the Impreza life cycle to date. If you want to know where the WRC team came in the 1997 Acropolis rally and the number plates of the cars used...it's here!

The book traces the history of Subaru from their origins in 1917 as Chikuhei Nakajima established the Aircraft Research Laboratory through to post war years when the company was renamed Fuji Sangyo Co. Ltd. It then looks at the 1980s, the decade leading up to the Impreza introduction and sets the scene focusing upon the RX, XT, SVX and finally the Legacy.

From chapter 3 onwards the book concentrates upon the Impreza from the initial concept through to present day. It is here that you see the depth the book goes into with a vast range of Subaru publicity material being beautifully reproduced including Japanese sales brochures. The text comprehensively covers model details and specifications and the collaborative effort with Subaru themselves shows through. The Japanese, UK, USA and Australian markets are all looked at in detail and the yearly changes are well documented even including colour availability! As well as the road car story, the book also follows the yearly progression of the official works rally team documenting every World Championship round.

What is extremely useful is that the Japanese market is covered quite comprehensively so information regarding the cars seen as grey imports here into the UK will be most welcome. Particular focus is made on the various V-Limited models that have been of much discussion amongst enthusiasts.

Unlike the Chris Rees book, Brian Long makes no effort to look at the after market ownership aspect of the Impreza and the book is much better for it as it would have diluted the information that is here.

My only criticism is that some of the information could have been more easily referred to if it had been made as tabular form rather than as part of the main body text (an example here is listing the gear ratio comparisons).

In conclusion...thoroughly recommended!
