2001 Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS review from North America
"A great performing car, that needs just a little getting used to"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car.
Reliability is perfect for the car, for it was still made in Japan.
General comments?
The car has great acceleration for its class.
When dealing with ice, dirt, or gravel it still clings on as if you were driving on a paved road.
However, when handling the car you must use EXTREME caution, the brakes do not match the power of the car. This is one car that does not "stop on a dime."
The car took me 1 month to get used to the braking system.
