XE is the best car, by
far, that I have ever driven. i-PACE will

A
fantastic car, tarnished by 'Dieselgate' and them buying back TDIs.
Achieved 46mpg on long runs at 75mph. Averaged 43mpg overall. Superior
build quality. Quattro best 4x4 by far.
Top end V6s overpriced by a
mile. e-tron Sportback. 2018-08.

Adequate design, poor
iDrive ergonomics. 2018 touch screen distracting. Excellent paint
quality. Achieves, on average,
2-3 mpg better than EPA
mileage highway figures.
Achieve 34mpg overall. xDrive only
second to Quattro.

systems. Desperately lacking power and mpg. Not up to EPA

Imprezza / Crosstrek now built in USA have software crash issues.

Very
good design and build quality. Utterly tarnished by fraud involved with
'Dieselgate'. Six cylinder TDIs will come back and
bite them. Awful gasoline
engine design and mileage as a result, especially in V6s.

up killing the brand by becoming too expensive. Some models now
made in mainland EU. Cowley, watch out!
