1999 Subaru Impreza GT AWD review from Israel
"Simply the BEST!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Coil broke at 25,000km.
Headlight motor stopped responding.
General comments?
The Scooby (Scooby Doo Subaru) will give you the best true & pure sports car bargain, no other car will provide you with such excitement for the same price!
Israeli service is poor though... their knowledge of the car is limited, took them 2 months to find out why my car started crawling after being a jet :-) And it was only a coil problem.
The Scooby is not too comfortable, but who cares actually.. it's a rally car!
One last thing, in Israel the Scooby is expensive to keep:
Fuel - the Scooby is hungry.
Tires - the Scooby burns tires very fast cause of its AWD system.
Parts - dealer's prices just go up :-( You really have to take that into consideration!
Personally I wouldn't change the Scooby for any other car! If you live in Europe grab it! I know for a fact that the prices are cheaper and service is fine.
