I dont know much about Holdens and if its a reliable car, at least when you buy a Impreza you get realibility as well, not only performance.
This new generation of VE Holden Commodor/HSV are solid built, and the interior doesn't feel as cheap as an current generation Impreza. Holden reliability slightly below average with their pervious cars. The previous generation Commodor the VT, VX, VY, and VZ have solid engine gearbox realibilty, but the cars do suffers from minor issues such as water leakage, alternator malfunction, faulty electrical window switch. The HSV version of the previous generation of Commodor sufferd from excessive engine oil consumption, engine oil leakage and rear diff+wheel bearing failure.

This new VE generation is much better engineered than all the previous generation so hopefully these issues won't occure anymore
