2003 Subaru Impreza WRX SL PPP review from UK and Ireland
"For £20,000 the Performance cannot be matched"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The 4th gear syncromesh failed after 9500 miles had problems, namely crunching into fourth gear from third.
The boot release cable has failed, so I have to use the key in the boot lock.
General comments?
I love this car. I didn't expect the gearbox problem after 9500 miles.
It has also begun to baulk when changing into first while driving slowly despite the clutch depressed to the floor.
I think the gearbox is not up to the Prodrive Performance Pack.
Also the brakes are not up to the extra performance given by the pack although a prodrive pad upgrade is available.
