I used to like Imprezas when I was younger (I guess in the 90s). They seemed a good tool for what they were (cheap plastic jap crap with a decent engine and running gear!). Didn't everyone think they looked great in action, in blue with gold wheels! :$

But I've been put off them for pretty much good now - a friend of mine had a Legacy B4 RSK (same basic engine as an Impreza, but with twin turbos). It went through two bottom ends in a matter of months! Seemed to be quite a common problem amongst some of the Subaru crowd. This was on a low mileage, impeccably maintained car that was driven with reasonable care.

TBH, I'd probably never actually have bought one, but they looked like a good fun 'tool' for the cash! I think the golden years were probably back in the 90s when Colin Mcrae (RIP) used to drive for Subaru. There's no appeal to me at all now.
