A 1.6 impeza with a full WRX kit and interior?? does anybody know the BHP? What the handling is like? Is it a flat 4 in a 1.6??

 

Buy a TURBO!!!

 

well dunc im only 19 i would if i could afford it. so can anybody help a poor lad and give him some info??

 

Questions and answers

- Is it the 2WD or the 4WD version ? (they did both for a year)
- It is a flat four as far as I know (drove one last month)
- Handles very well to be honest, as light, stiff'ish chassis
and good steering
- Won't all the mods push the insurance up too much ?

If not and you don't mind the lack of grunt (its about 88bhp I think) then it could be a low-price street-cred lifter !

 

I GOT A 1.8 WRX LOOK-A-LIKE MATE!
I'D GET 1 IF I WERE YOU THEN TRADE IT IN FOR A TURBO WHEN THE INSURANCE COMES DOWN!
JUST TURNED 20 WITH NO NCB SO I'M IN A SIMILAR POSITION!

HOW MUCH IS IT GOING FOR?
REG? MILAGE?

 

My sister has just bought a 2.0 sport with all the sti kit to get around the insurance

 

I'm 20 with a turbo. Comes down to how much money you want to waste, and on what. I waste mine on insurance and can't afford mods, whereas yours will go on mods.

If you're going to spend a whack on mods you may as well get at least a 2.0 sport.

The turbo brings waaaaaay more grins and i reckon its just about worth it. If you can scrape the cost DO IT

a ha i have the very car!!!!!!!

i have an L reg impreza 1.6 sport. i'm just 21, i have had the car a year i know what your going through.

mine looks like a wrx only difference - rear drums! just had brake conversion done on the front to wrx brakes so i'm half way there.

performance....average. it's a heavy car designed for a turbo engine.Or at least a 2ltr. i think thats why subaru stopped making them lol

you can get them in 2wd or 4wd, if you want more speed get a 2wd mine is 4wd and the transmission holds the car back. but i do have the handling.

performance... keep up with a fezzy xr2i or somthing similar - which is good for it's size/small engine capabilities

i know everyone will laugh at this but i dont care, i am now looking for a wrx, but it's hard when your young and doing things by the book.

at least i'm not driving a corsa/saxo/fiesta.

it's up to you really, i drive quite a distance to work so i like a spacious reliable safe car. that is also good round corners. It is a softer feeling car than a turbo but that is because it is completly different underneath i.e suspension etc.

a bit slow off the start...but once it has momentum it's ok.


let the laughing comence

 

The one my sister has bought has already been done that's the cheap easy way

 

oh yeah i forgot.

it is a flat 4 looks a bit different though. if someone can put a pic of a sport engine up it looks like that.

and the uk model is around 88 bhp

mine is apparently more near 100bhp for some reason ( jap model )

hope this helps

 

didnt someone have a white 2 door 1.6 on here the other month???????

come forward please i wanna know how your getting on with it

 

Keep up with an XR2i????????? Are you kidding?

 

Is it red. If it is a m8 of mine has been looking at it. In the trader i think.

 

the guy with the white door 1.6 is called money iv been speaking to him with emails but his is very rare.
