2003 Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS review from North America
"A high performance lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission has had to be replaced twice.
General comments?
It's been driven fairly gently in the first 1000 miles so it's odd that we encountered this kind of problem so early.
Exterior is cheap, thin, easily dinged tin-like material.
Handles incredibly well.
Drinks a lot of gas.
