I had a 172 cup when they first came out.
Great fun....if you can live with the bus driver seating position and steering wheel. Lot of people change the seat for a lower mounting.
Took just a few weeks for the interior trim to start falling off, but mechanically it was sound.
I probably got one finished on a friday after Pierre had thursday night on the P*ss.

It just so happens I have my trophy up for sale, superb car, I've had no problems with it at all. I had it advertised up for £12,495 but Im really after a quick sale so I've slashed the price to £11,600.

Had my 182 both cup packs for a since christmas now, before that had two classic imprezas both over 280bhp!!
what i can say is mainly what most people will say, the car is simply amazing.
SUre you get horror storys but i can honestly say that ive not been to the dealers for maintenance once, well anything other than servicing.........
you do have to slightly work for the performance, certainly ive speak from experience owning 4 performance turbo cars previous to this BUT it certainly fast, people who say they are nippy are talking cack............
on the right road in the right hands these cars are more than capable of humbling machinery costing at least twice
as much
all this and it will do 35-40mpg with my driving.......
the driving position is lofty i will admit that, im currently sourcing the recaro trendlines as fitted in the trophy to reduce this.........certainly have no intention of selling it...............
