oil pick-up pipe issues were related to a "batch" from what we have seen, and is the same sump / oil pick-up pipe used by ALL Impreza's from MY06>

Seen some decent priced last editions around but was always concerned by the 2.5 engine issues and things I’d read. If I could I’d have a wide track blob but expensive. higher mileage and rust concerns me.

you can’t beat a 2.5 for torque v a 2 litre in a fairly standard tune , not all fail , and if it does go then get it forged , i’ve still like the 2 litre , but i’m running three 2.5 sti and it’s a more capable quicker car

I thought this might be a fun addition to the thread. We have collected lots of these photos over the 16 years that we have been making aftermarket pickups.
