Is this a 'feature' of the newage Impreza?

I've had a few classics and never had a weak fan blower, but the one on my 02 STI makes all the right noises but blows out a really weedy amount of air!

Or is there a known fault that may have occured? Had a search and couldn't find anything.

As I said above, turn the **** and you can hear the motor going faster but the air being blown out is pathetic really.

Of all the cars 13 cars I've owned (none newer than 1995 M reg), I'd place the Impreza's (a MY93 Classic though) as "better than average/good", if that means anything to you.

Your anecdotal description suggests it's playing up... or that New Age ones are simply just worse/crap.

Oops sorry - just seen you've already owned Classics, so I'm telling you stuff you already know. That'll teach me to speed-read the post.

behind the compartment on the passenger side of the dash, there is a filter that stops the dust and leaves and so on going through. check that because they can get really crapped up and stop air getting through.

Excellent choices!

The new RS in White - and indeed a 3-dr Sierra Cossie (get it in white too - you just gotta! ) - are two of my, many, all time favourite cars!

NOOOO!!!! You MUST make the missus get the RS!! There's a colossal ulterior motive "carrot" in that decision... for YOUR benefit!

Have you checked the pollen filter isnt blocked/dirty?

Will be purchasing a new pollen filter tomorrow as I'm pretty sure that's what it'll be then, especially as you can hear the motor going hard so I'd assume it's clogged.
