1998 Subaru Impreza GT555 review from UK and Ireland
"Love the car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator cracked and had to be replaced.
Fuel pump gave up.
General comments?
This car has brilliant performance. I was a bit worried about the extra strain on my wallet, but it is so worth it.
The car has superb handling. The car gives amazing feedback when pushed. You can tell when the limit is, and its well out there!
It if effortless to drive at speed. I sometimes head back home late at night and your cruising at 95, never having to leave 5th gear.
I love the torque the car pushes out. It pulls from 2500 revs. It will pull hard till 6000 but dies away after that.
I do take care of my impreza. It gets an oil change every 3000 miles. Its normally only at weekends when I 'stretch its legs'. And the rumble... its music to my ears.
Modifications include
- 17inch alloys
- Forge dump Vale
- Quick Shift Gear change
- K&N Filter
- Magnex Exhaust.
- P1 Spoiler
I plan to buy a 2Dr next.
