It's lashing rain down. Night closed in hours ago and the torrential weather is pure El Nino. The humid day has given way to a wet and windy night as the Impreza's headlights struggle to penetrate the darkness, lightning a perilous path home.

It's lashing rain down. Night closed in hours ago and the torrential weather is pure El Nino. The humid day has given way to a wet and windy night as the Impreza's headlights struggle to penetrate the darkness, lightning a perilous path home.
Welcome to the Impreza GX. This model won't get even half the attention of its limelight-basking WRX big sister. Yet the GX represents a greater improvement over the car it replaces than does the WRX. Let's just say that the GX contributed more than any other model to the Impreza range.
Blessed with a whole raft of changes, both underneath and cosmetically, the Impreza GX offers plenty. It now stands alone as the entry level Impreza, filling the gap where the LX once sat. Anti-lock brakes, in-dash CD player cruise control, driver and passenger airbags and driver's seat height adjustment are all standard, with sports seats and sports suspension also thrown into the mix.
On paper, the GX should stick to the road like kids stick to their version of the truth. It does better. The firmness of the ride can be harsh on the smaller lumps and bumps, but it doesn't cause discomfort. Think WRX ride quality and tone it down just a fraction. The GX feels dynamically secure, too, tracking sweetly across bad roads and maintaining a neutral handling balance.
The steering is direct and nicely weighted with good feedback. The pronounced side bolstering of the front seats holds you tighter than a drunk accountant on a Friday night.
For your money, the Subaru GX offers an impressive package that, this time around, has taken more than a few cues from its big sister. And it's a much better car for it. Big sisters aren't all bad either.
Why not try it yourself.
