I've owned both a ph.2 R5 GT turbo and ph.2 205 GTI 1.9..... Incredible, amazing fun cars of their time.
R5 reliability left a lot to be desired. Went through about 4 clutch cables snapping, (due to the tortuous route it took on the right hand drive cars). Plus turbo-IC hose would often pop off, and ultimately split over time. Prob went through about 3. But never had any engine issues, despite me giving that damn thing death virtually everyday.
205, nothing went wrong. Once again, showed it no mercy.

PowerWRX, nice choice of car. They handle extremely well and that shape is supposedly better screwed together than the last shape. I had the last shape and it was a extremely capable. Yes its French and yes things can go wrong but I can honestly say my previous BMW 330, VW polo and 2 VW Golf GTIs all gave me more problems than the Meg did in the 5 years I owned it.
