2003 Subaru Impreza WRX EVO SPEC 7 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Disappointing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission/suspension noise (improved under warranty)
Faulty LF window switch (replaced with warranty)
Hard flat leather seats improved, but shaped badly.
General comments?
Reliable, fast, excellent steering, excellent in wet, quality fittings.
I liked the sports shift option of auto or manual with sequential style shifting. This suits my wife and myself and is a good compromise.
Dash rattles {never fixed) and poor flat, hard leather seats with poor lateral support spoilt this car. My previous WRX did not have these problems.
Regretfully this car has to go and with no WRX auto option I will give Golf GTI or Golf R32 a try with their 6 speed DSG (Direct Shift auto box) and excellent seats.
