2001 Subaru Impreza WRX review from North America
"A bargain compared to others in the class"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had the clutch replaced under warranty at 30,000 miles. It shuddered since the day I bought the car. I guess a few of the early cars had this problem, and now it's fixed and everything is great.
General comments?
I have modified this car heavily and it takes the abuse well.
Sway-bars made the car handle like it should. Now it handles amazingly.
Turbo boost is the only way to fly.
