    I don't know about an Impreza, but I know my '07 Audi A6 Allroad could easily take on this level of water. I'm fairly sure that a Subaru Outback could as well, they tend to be about the same height (US spec ones are even higher I believe - I owned one, it was about 2 cm taller than any EUDM ones of the same generation I've seen)
