Faults:

Cracked brake disc.

Throttle body sensor lead makes intermittent contact.

General Comments:

I have had a lot of performance cars, but nothing comes close to this - it would be a very brave (or foolish) driver of any other type of car barring a VERY select few who could live with a WRX.

The handling is beautifully balanced on its 17" F1 shod wheels, with only a hint of under-steer in extremis. Wet weather barely affects it either.

The performance is brutal, but highly accessible. A quicker point to point car on real roads doesn't exist.

Don't buy for economy, shiver at the cost of insurance and buy shares in a good tyre company.

Ride comfort is on the filling rattling side of firm - your dad wouldn't like it, though creature comforts aren't bad - air con, decent ICE (I think - I don't use it much - prefer the sound of the glorious flat four...), cosseting seats.

Nothing at all, it's wonderful!

General Comments:

Drinks fuel but who cares. We only live once and driving an Impreza is something everyone should get the chance to experience!

Faults:

Power engineering remap resulted in a new turbo, valve stem seals and manifold, as well as new pistons, rods and crank.

Power Engineering of Uxbridge London say it is an oil supply problem. A shame, since the car only lasted 600 miles since they remapped it!

22B are fantastic un-modified, come to http://www.22B.com

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

Superb car, turbo lag a problem below 3000rpm, STi VI filter and exhaust system have improved mid range pick up. Front seats are the MOST comfortable ever! Front brakes need uprating - I'm told AP pads, racing brake fluid and new discs are the answer - the brakes work as they are on the 98 spec but the feel is non existant - and they fade quickly when used hard. Odd! but I've never wanted to do stuff and add bits to a car till I got the Scooby!

Members of the general public's eyes have gone green with envy.

208 b.h.p.

4 wheel drive.

Very able and agile car. Resale values excellent for UK cars.

For the asking price nothing can touch the explosive performance and "s**t to a blanket" handling.

Got 20K? Get one.

Faults:

Severe backfiring leading to ignition of the car behind (flame throwing capabilities).

General Comments:

Very good perfomance all-round.
