1999 Subaru Impreza Turbo review from UK and Ireland
"Performance car bargain of the century"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car developed a juddering clutch on take off, and was replaced under warranty.
General comments?
This really is a car you can fall in love with. It has looks, pace, people and luggage carrying capacity and is cheap to run to boot.
Everything you read about it is true, it will turn an average driver into a good driver, and a good driver into a God. The feeling of invincibility is worrying sometimes, but we are yet to have even the mildest scrape together.
Where else can you get a 5 door estate for this money, with this performance? As far as I can see nowhere.
The one major downside is the road noise. It all seems to be tyre related, but fortunately the whistle of the turbo can still be heard!
