General Comments:

Nice car.

Got it for $9900, good for a NZ new and 62000k.

Came with fuel, warranty, reg, warranty, and AA inspection.

Love the car. Have been able to get it down to 7 litres per 100 kilometers, which I'm very happy with for a 2.5.

Was sold with a faulty battery, but this was covered by the warranty, so all good.

Insurance was more than I thought at 1500 dollars a year and a 900 dollar excess for a non turbo, but I am under 25 and a male, so it's probably right.

Definitely will buy another B4.

Summary:

The king of the pocket rocket hill

Faults:

The Subaru stock turbo went into remission at 10000km's.

The brakes needed upgrading almost as soon as I bought it.

The fire extinguisher was in an unusual position.

General Comments:

The car is one of the least known models by Subaru, and is factory modified by VenoM.

The halogen light inside the cabin is a little bright.
