1999 Subaru Impreza WRX review from Australia and New Zealand
"Utterly brilliant"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing from Subaru went wrong - aftermarket satellite tracking/alarm was troublesome.
General comments?
The WRX was a wonderful car. Fast, reliable, but your Mum could drive to the shops and back.
All wheel drive made it a joy in the wet and a hoot in the dry.
The cabin plastics are below par and the stereo was cheap and nasty, but the handling, engine and warp drive were all worth it.
