Good price, but too many mods for me. Im guessing as a scoobynetter its been driven enthusiasticly as well (though yes I know all of them have) nice thought though

They'er not mods, it's just the WRSport version of the RB5. i.e. the one worth having

As Andrew said there not mods it's just an RB5 WR with Eibachs and Bilsteins

And driven enthusuastically........I'd be lying if I said no but there is a huge differnce between being enthusiastic and abusing it.

I think it would be foolish to think that any Subaru has not been driven enthusiastically.

They're hardly the first choice for the pipe and slippers brigade!

:-)

They're performance cars designed to withstand enthusiastic driving.

I on the other hand prefer to thrash the living daylights out of my car at every opportunity. Hence it is still in the workshop having 2 new head gaskets installed.

Seem to be a few RB5 around.

I bought a UK car from the forum and save ££££££££ compared with the dealer price.

Seen the car you looked at. It just seems a lott of money although found a non wr for 1k more when i had n=my car serviced today.

ADP,

Get a favourable AA report and buy the thing. Undoudtedly,the BEST limited edition Impreza marketed in the UK (including the P1). Enough said!
