Subaru Impreza 2.0Turbo

Every kid wants one, no one under the age of 40 can normally afford one, but yet, we all seem to still have this desire and hope that some day we will get one. No, I?m not talking about a wife, I?m talking about the Subaru Impreza WRX. Since I moved to the States, I have been lucky and managed to get my hands on one. With a little wheeling and dealing, and the British touch, I am now the proud owner of a 2003 WRX. Yes it is a US version, and there are slight differences, but the car itself is the same, and I will talk about the UK version, as that?s really more useful than the US to readers on Dooyoo. So the WRX. It?s been a while since I wrote an opinion, ...  Read the complete review

The Subaru Impreza Turbo is a car that I had aspired to ever since I was 15 years old and the late Colin Mcrae won the World Rally Championship. In 2004 I bough myself a UK spec Impreza Turbo, year 2000 model. In standard form it produced 215bhp and it's all wheel drive provided great traction. Because of the typical British weather I ran the car on Toyo Proxes TR1's which provided great handling and grip in the wet, and a decent amount of grip in the dry. One of the first thing I did to the car was to fit an Afterburner Vortex back box, which in my opinion is one of the best sounding back boxes you can buy. You can hear the distinctive flat 4 burble coming ...  Read the complete review

There are many words that you can use to describe the Impreza WRX. Boycy, ugly, insane, pointless, tacky, you name it. The sceptics will say that the interior is made of plastic so thin that it'll melt in the sun, and that you'll never pick up girls with it. There are few words, however, that describe the drive. In fact that makes for quite a difficult review, because that's the best thing going for it! All I can say is, yes, the interior is a bit tacky (it's not that bad, just a bit old fashioned), but seriously, it's so good to drive that you really won't care. I drove the 2.0 WRX, 2003 model for the record. Put your foot down and this thing ...  Read the complete review

I bought my Scooby from new in Jan 1999 & kept it for nearly 3 years. One test drive sold it to me, it's a reasonable price for the level of performance & it's cheap to run - apart from the 20mpg on super unleaded & new tyres every 6 months! However, it's VERY reliable! An essential purchase for every enthusiastic driver! Interior ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The seats are excellent, very supportive & good over long distances too. The cloth material covering has got little loops in it, so be careful that you don't catch it with zips. I pulled a loop with the ring binding part of a road atlas. The interior is cheap ...  Read the complete review

Ever since I'd seen rally racing on the TV and played Colin Mcrae Rally 04 on the Playstation I'd wanted one of these cars. The sound they make is great, I had my mobile phone at the exhaust when viewing the car, showing off to freinds. Thats how excting this car is. The speed is truly amazing for such a cheap car, the handling is out of this world. You really feel like there is no need to brake on corners with the super grip of the 4 wheel drive steering. The only reason I would brake is in case I couldn't turn fast enough, not in case the car couldn't handle it. After driving a BMW which is of course more luxourious, I never regretted changing. ...  Read the complete review
