Good Points

Performance and handling.
Sound.
Comfort of seats.
Rally car looks.


Bad Points

Harsh ride.
Fuel consumption and availability of 98 RON fuel. (garages have often run out)
High insurance (forget it if under 25!)
Dashboard quality poor....but thats not why you buy this type of car.


General Comments

The Subaru Impreza WRX STI Type is a very fast car and lots of bang for your buck.
The STI is a very sure footed car and is a great base to modify. Over 300bhp is easily achievable (although mine is standard 265bhp).
Bought from a main dealer who were not very good.

    Agree with the majority of that and I'm pleased you are happy with your Subaru!!
    I currently have one for weekend fun and it never fails to put a smile on my face. Mine is the UK spec car 04 STI but with quite a few modifications, including wheels, suspension, exhaust, clutch, ECU, etc... Running 348bhp and 356lbft, so it is relatively quick to say the least and very sure footed on the road.
    If I was to scale-up my weekend entertainment I would probably have to go along the route of getting a Skyline R34 GTR, Noble M12, Ferarri 430 or Porsche 911 Turbo to make any significant improvement over the Impreza!
    It also has 4 doors, a big boot and sounds beautiful.... Shame the stereo is rubbish as standard and the dashboard a bit tacky... Oh well, I listen to the exhaust/engine rather than the stereo!
