only issue I had with the car was that the prodrive GT1 alloys were badly balanced.

After various trips to 3 garages and 4WD alignment it was agreed that it wasn't the car but that the GT1 alloy was shockingly built

you notice it around the 75 to 85 mark, no matter how much balancing you did static or dynamic it was always there. Theer was a likewise thread on here where somebody else had the same issue same wheels diff car.

I think they must be touch and go the GT1s, but the car its self is a very good one.

I think Lord Hardings would be a great buy as I seem to think its quite tricked up and looks very nice for the oil burner version

The WRXd 48mpg is his real world mpg, checked over his ownership via fuel receipts and then calculated the correct way for 4yrs I believe.

I recon he's gone and bought a hyundi or honda diesel.
You dont mean....PSLewis world ?

Well I like them, they look really well in the flesh, not sure about the wing mirrors, but the inside looks nice, it's a thumbs up from me.

Is it 4wd and what's the rfl.

Where have I heard "known fault with Subaru engines' before. The funny thing is that the press, Top gear etc still chant that Subarus are bullet proof.
