1998 Subaru Impreza WRX review from Australia and New Zealand
"High performance bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
- Cable came loose and was bouncing off the firewall.
- Lost pressure in the window water sprayer.
General comments?
The best value for money car available in Australia (performance car or otherwise). Superb reputation; good road presence; excellent reliability and goes like the clappers.
However the insides are a little bland and I'm getting a bit older where niceties are sought (eg CD player, less road noise, softer suspension) and I'm sick of young teenagers attempting to drag you off at every stop light.
Having said that, it is the best road car I have ever bought.
