1994 Subaru Impreza WRX Import review from UK and Ireland
"4K for THIS? Why have I never owned one before??"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing as yet. No bad smoke.. No noises that shouldn't be there. Looks like a got a mint example.
General comments?
Well what an awesome vehicle!!!
I have owned many cars and driven hundreds, but this is by far the best out of the lot. The shear speed of the car 0-60 4.9 seconds and 240 BHP as standard still shocks me when I floor it!
The overall handling of the car is in my opinion is overrated. People seem to confuse grip with handling. The grip is phenominal in the dry and in the wet. The suspension is far to soft and needs uprating.
Brakes are truly scary and should be uprated ASAP. They fade almost instantly which is not nice when driving hard into a corner.
Interior is red and black with the sports seats and isn't a bad place to be in. AC, EM and 4x electric windows ain't to shabby for a 1994 car either!
Make no mistake this car DRINKS optimax like there's no tommorrow if you drive it like it should be. Keep it under 3K revs all the time and it will not be as bad as you think. I have a full decat japanese exhaust on mine and it is loud, but only on the move. It sounds like Godzilla is coming down the road, but helps the car breath better so it's staying.
Insurance was a problem, but Elephant were there to help.
