1999 Subaru Impreza RB5 review from UK and Ireland
"25,000ukp to show up a Porsche, enough said!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Some problems occured that were very hard to track down after the car was repaired, the talents of a motorsport mechanic specialising in WRC Imprezas (Ian Bishop) was required. But as routine the car has been faultless.
General comments?
Zenon Headlamp bulbs as are good idea even in 1999 cars, PZEROs are £150 a corner, 20mpg as a general rule.
