Subaru Impreza 2.0 WRX

Got involved with this car as a bit of a joint venture with my brother-in-law. We bought it new at the start of 2004. The finance behind the whole thing are a bit strange, but that's not too important right now, essentially I own everything from the rear seats backwards! Confession at the outset - I'm quite "into" cars, but I'm not a car freak. I can tell you: * What I like to look at. * What I like to drive. * How reliable I want it to be. * How comfy it is. etc But I could not tell you a double overhead cam from a pair of rear bushes! If my car breaks down I may as well look in the glove ... more

I've had two Subaru Imprezza Turbos now, a 2000 model (x-plate) and the newer-styled WRX from 2001 on a y-plate. Despite the newer model feeling slightly more tame than the old one and being a little easier to drive on a daily basis, one thing remained constant between both of them: you become a different person behind the wheel of this car. Normal human beings, people who'll buy you a pint when they see you in the pub, stop to say hello to you in the street, be there to help out when you're in trouble, become hooligans behind the wheel of either of these models. The Imprezza, in either guise ... more

This was a 1996 Japanese import that spent its life as a Japanese street racing car. It was the race altered edition of the WRX STI. This meant it had no sunroof, no electrics in the front ie. windows and wing mirrors, no ABS and no air con. It did have a double din stereo and it did have a 5.5" straight through stainless steel exhaust. It was stupidly modified in the engine department and it did have creedy boost gauges. This car was brought from a garage in Stoke. It was a Japanese import. It is a very rare car I have only ever seen 1 other like it. However, due to more imports coming into ... more

unless your names Julian and you work in a hair dressers the only model of Impreza you'll ever contemplate is the mk1 WRX STI Turbo Acceptable modifications to this model include *Evo type spoiler (If not already fitted) does restrict vision of cars in rear veiw mirror but its not as if they'll catch you anyway...... you've got an Impressa! * Full exhaust system (magnex a clear favorite for impressa) *Dump valve To complement the wirring of the turbo (check out the range from bailey as thease squeeze out a few extra BHPs!) *Short Shift Gear changer for that easy down shift on that 120 mph ... more

SUBARU IMPREZA, say that to most teenage boys and they will drool longingly for they wish they could have one even near to them. I am lucky my father bought his about 2 years ago and we both have not tired of it yet. All i have to say to my friends is Impreza and they go and hide, crying for the day they can get one. This however can be a down side as Impreza often goes before who is driving it, yes you can go quick, ludicrously quick if you want too but it really is more of a car than that. The boot is enormous we used to have a Range rover and the scoobies boot is bigger than that!Helpful as ... more
