1999 Subaru Impreza RB5 review from UK and Ireland
"The RB5 is, in my view the best Impreza ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine blew up 3 times. Replacements were given under warranty.
The gearbox was rebuilt after 4th and 1st gears started to crunch/grind.
The engine management was replaced as this was thought to be the underlying problem with the engines blowing up.
