Amazing cars mate, the box just makes it a dream to drive. A lot of so called performance cars are let down by the box because it's a compromise betweem performance and driver comfort/economy. The RA is a no compromise rally slag!!

Soom people on here say it's the poverty model - I am guessing they have never driven one or if they have are pretty clueless when it comes to driving a very very good B road blaster.

Add a few choice mods and you have a beast of a car. Just take care when buying as people try to sell all sorts as RA's.

Quicky please - Type-RA.co.uk - Forum for Subaru Impreza WRX Type RA, WRX STi, Spec-C, S202, Type RA-R

check out view my scooby.

the are very raw though. no creature comforts to speak of. well most have aircon. no central locking, no electric windows, very little sound deadening. but you are rewarded with a superb drive. by far better to drive than my last wrx and better than the sti's i've driven.

they are a real drivers car. and can be bought fairly cheaply now. i would advise anyone looking for a good driving car, not just an a to b to get one. if you're buying one to do a lot of motorway miles, forget it. the ratios at motorway speeds will see you filling up with petrol like it's going out of fashion. but around town mpg is better than a normal box.

i noticed it when i removed mine. but with a few handling tweeks and a setup, you don't really miss it. just don't stand at the boot when someone uses the inside release.
