1993 Subaru Impreza WRX 240ps 2.0 16v Turbocharge from UK and Ireland

Summary:

True sports car

Faults:

First day I purchased the car I took the batter off to reset the ECU, when I connected it the rev counter didn't work, no dash lights were working and car wasn't charging, was down to a split in the circuit bored behind the clocks, a column fault, was easily fixed.

Needed a new battery, old one had a dead cell £36 for a new battery.

Top radiator pipe split, another column fault, £10 to fix.

General Comments:

This car is amazing, once you drive one, you WILL want one.

When I bought the car it was 100% standard, since then I have added a 3" de-cat down pipe and de-cat system with 4" back box, the car now has that lovly flat4 noise.

I've fitted a Baileys twin piston dump valve to pro-long the turbo.

Its stupid how quick these cars accelerate, so far I've had 130mph on private track, still had more poke.

I own a 94 import subaru and it does not compare to other true sports cars I have driven, i. e Mitsubishi GTO which I have owned and an EVO and both have walked all over the scooby. Petrol on my scooby was outrageous, I used to have a Esso petrol tanker on call as I was never sure if I would make it anywhere. Basically, poor layout inside, cheap plastic and light panels all over. Not very good for passengers. WOuld not recommend to anyone who wants a car that is practical.

GTOs are like fake Ferraris, and Evos are over rated. I have a 93 rally spec 555 Subaru and its power is out of this world, sounds awesome, and goes great. Anyone buying one of these cars shouldn't complain about fuel costs, as it is inevitable that more hp means more fuel consumption. if you worried about fuel, buy a Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic.

1993 Subaru Impreza awd l 1.8 ltr boxer 4 from North America

Summary:

Great car for commute or even long trips

Faults:

Nothing really. Blown CV-boot, but this was my fault driving her off road.

General Comments:

This is a great car- runs really strong even after 200,000 have rolled over. I have the wagon and it holds quite a lot of stuff, plus who doesn't love a 4-wheel drive car?

1993 Subaru Impreza L 1.8L from North America

Summary:

Love it

Faults:

Minor - but burns oil.

General Comments:

I was looking for a commuter car and bought the impreza. I am the third owner and I have put 15000 miles on the car. I immediately put new brakes and tires on the car and have had NO PROBLEMS with it. Very reliable. I get about 26-27 mpg which right in the range its supposed to get.

The only "bad" thing is that it burns oil. I have to add about a quart a month. I put 2000 miles on the car every month.

Sorry - I wrote the review and failed to mention that I bought the car with 72000 miles on it and wrote the review at 87000 miles.

1993 Subaru Impreza Base from North America

Summary:

This car is off the charts - good

Faults:

Very little has gone wrong with this auto. It truly lives up to the Japanese standards of excellence. If anything, I would not fully recommend the ride as it is a tad rough, but for the money, it is well within reason.

General Comments:

Without a question, this is the best car I have ever owned in terms of reliability, durability and total satisfaction. Coupled with owning the worst car I have ever owned (Plymouth Voyager) I guess I've broken even, but only due to the extraordinary resilience of this car.

I would buy another (and plan to) in a hearbeat.

A bit cramped if you have more than 2 kids, but a perfect all-around commuter car.
