It was as well in 1993 that the smaller Impreza took over from the Legacy. Again the stage times were promising, the Impreza managed a 2nd place on its debut event, but it took until halfway through 1994 until it could win an event. 1995 was probably the most stunning season for Subaru. The season started off with a Monte Carlo win for Carlos Sainz. With two events to go Subaru was still 3rd out of 4 manufacturers entered in the WRC. But on that penultimate event Toyota was disqualified from the entire season and Subaru managed podium lock outs on both the last events of the year. Subaru won their first makes WRC title and followed this up with two more titles ahead of Ford and Mitsubishi. Subaru’s 3rd makes title happened in the new WRCar era, however before this era had a chance to improve competition. It has to be said that Subaru won their titles at the point when competition was at its weakest and in all those years they never actually managed to beat a serious Ford, Fiat/Lancia, Citroën and Peugeot team in a straight title fight. From now on the competition became stronger in quantity and quality and Subaru is fighting on to add a 4th makes title to their tally ever since the dull mid-1990s.
