What things have gone wrong with the car?

Radiator damaged, cooling system pipes corroded, front brake discs warped, exhaust needed replacing, blows out dipstick on very high revs, spark plug fouled by oil, suspect cylinder head need regrinding though car is running OK at present.

General comments?

A lot of fun to drive. Plenty of grip and plenty of feel through the steering. No body roll at all. Very quick indeed, esp above 4000rpm. Fuel economy poor (26 mpg). Dealers charge the earth for servicing. Hasn't been 100% reliable. Not the best built car but has a nice interior. Great stereo.

I owned an s16 and found the fuel economy appalling. I now own an imported WRX and its exactly the same on fuel and has 140bhp more!

I did enjoy the s16, it seemed great to drive at the time. But not sure what the fuss is about, they are a tad boring now.
