Normally i don't like Impreza's ...

They are all driving around Durham with mahooosive bean cans on, seriously you cant go out without seeing 3 or 4

That first one is bordering on an ooof but the f6 one is damn hot!

You know the Impreza like the black F6 one was designed to run perfectly without a spoiler. It had a spoiler fitted to compete with the Evo.

My brother ran his Impreza (with a ProDrive Performance Pack, jeez that was quick) with no rear spoiler and it never affected the handling at all.

OOOOOOOF!

Just right (first one)

Love the wing, along with the WRX sticker too.



I definitely think they look better with the wing, they look wierd without IMO, although there are exceptions.

An Impreza 22B was the first car I ever REALLY wanted, I was about 6, it was Christmas day 2000, and I was watching Clarkson's Head To Head video that I was given as a present, and the 22B came on and I've loved Imprezas ever since.



I want an import STi Version 6 Type R 2 Door like this:



With some nice JDM mods and wheels and 22B arches, infact looking a bit like the one in the OP, and about 500BHP

I'd love an Impreza but after breaking my last one within 30 mins of buying it i'd never touch another. They're bloody expsenive to make good power out of too.

I've never been in one that handled briliiantly, far from it...

There far from reliable, especially the early ones, the crank is far far far to small to cope with the power...

There only realistically tunable if your chucking £10k+ at them, taking them for a map and thinking thats that will result in said chocolate crank issue...

That said i'd have another...
Oh, and if you take the centre diff apart, remove its internals then weld the casing back together its rwd, which is so much better...

I give you the Roger Clark Motorsport gobstopper impreza

Yep, classic impreza`s are my tip for a future classic. If you can find a low mileage, standard one, and keep it standard, or reversible mods only, then I think you could make a tidy profit in the mid-term. Various cars have gone through the same phases of desireability, cheapness and therefor falling into disrespect due to "chav" image, then regaining popularity and value with enthusiasts.

Same goes for early Evos - up to evoIII, before the electronics got over-complicated in the IV`s.

oooof indeedy. liking those alot, I'm still hankering for a bugeye imprezza though, imo they are brilliant but then again i always like an underdog

I had a low milage Classic WRX about 3/4 years ago. It never, ever let me down, went like stink and was an absolute pleasure to drive. Once I'd took the Firestone van tyres off which it was imported with and put some Goodyears on, it handled like it was on rails (suprising the difference a set of tyres can make on theses cars). The problems lie when you start meddling with the tuning (like I did )
I'd have another one tomorrow without doubt if funds would allow but insurance (grp 20 for imports) and fuel costs (sub 10 mpg if ran on full chat all the time) mean it's not viable at the moment.

Said car:



With the ex g/f's next to it



And unfortunately they do have a chav stigma with most people, but there are some owners that give them a good name as this thread from a while back shows.

And some others I had on the pc...
