2002 Subaru Impreza WRX review from North America
"It's a fun car with out breaking the bank, or your back to make it fast"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission has already been rebuilt.
Vacuum line to the boost controller came off, and over-boosted engine. I have yet to take it back to the dealer to have it checked out.
General comments?
The car is unparalleled in performance for price.
The turbo has a nice sound with the resonator box removed.
It's more than a blast to drive.
Traction in snowy, rainy, or dry weather is impeccable.
Transmission is a little shoddy though. I would recommend upgrading the gears if you want to pump the power up.
