"Best in its class, actually, the only one in its own class!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing yet! I have not babied my car at all past the 500 mile mark and it has ran like a champ!

General comments?

The car runs great, and the power is awesome! The clutch is a little weak for a car with this much power and AWD, but nothing really serious that could not be resolved with a good aftermarket upgrade.

The looks takes a bit getting use to, but it gets a lot of looks on the street because people don't know what it is.

The Honda and Integra crowd knows not to mess with you, and even the one's squeezing 50 shot NOS could only see the Impreza's tail lights.

The interior is sub-par, I expected something more for $25K, but I could live with it because I didn't get the WRX for luxury.

The AWD grips like it has claws, go into a corner hard just let off the throttle and the tail with give, and then apply the throttle again the car tracks like it's on rails!

There will be tons of aftermarket support for this car, expect to see streetable WRX's roaming in your hood running 12-13 second 1320ft and 0-60 under 5 seconds.

In Australia we have WRX's running low 11's and high 10's on totaly street legal tyres with street legal specs. No nitros either. I have also seen a 500kw twin turbo WRX also street driven. Plenty of potential for mods, this car.
