Hi guys Was looking to get an RB320,but was slightly concerned about the engine being a 2.5 litre. Do these share the same engine as the new hatches that everybody seems to be having trouble with, ie with them blowing up. If not how do they differ. Can any of you recomend this car cheers.

 

yes buy one now they are great cars yes they have a 2.5 sti engine and if looked after you should have no problem with it its a rare edition and they should be looked after

 

I have an RB320 and love it. I've had no problems at all. They are a 2.5 like the hatch but have not experiences the same issues. I think the hatch issues were due to the map on that version.
If you do buy one join the owners club. We have several meets during the year and their a great crowd.

 

the rb320 is a tuned up sti, personally i love em the.
the 2.5 issues do exist on this model too but its a great motor still.

 

go for it mate, have a look on the ownersclub theres always one or two for sale

 

There is a cracker for sale in Scotland via a private owner, would you like more info? Pm me plz

 

Can't recommend having a look at the RB320 owners club enough! - http://www.rb320ownersclub.co.uk/

Had my RB320 from new, it's my daily runner with 40k+ miles.
It gets used VEY WELL!! However, as with every Impreza i've owned it gets a oil & filter change every 6 months/5k miles, on top of the standard service intervals!
It actually wants for nothing, no expense spared ;-)

Any questions, please ask..!
