Worst Impreza?

Hi,

I've seen many threads about what people consider to be the "best" Impreza...22B, P1, R, RA, JDM...and so on. All seems to be down to personal taste to a certain degree.

However, what do people think is the worst Impreza? UK 2000 Turbo?
Edit: OEM car...not a modified one.
Edit 2: Turbo Impreza

Nooooooooooo The UK Turbo is a great model if you want a car that goes well has permanent 4 wheel drive and stands out from the crowd a bit. The trouble with whats best and whats worse is everyone will have an opinion. I would like to be in the camp that driving a Subaru is better than driving most computer assisted bland boxes you see on the road now.

I agree with that...I suppose it is a difficult question. Even with the best of the best of any product line there will always be a "worst". Doesn't mean it's a bad product though.

I was hoping the UK 2000 Turbo sticker on the back of my car meant "Don't steal me, I'm not worth it, there's an STI round the corner"

A hearse!
Although I was more aiming at Turbo models, but so far that wins in my books.

You could pick up an STI with low miles etc but if it hasn't been looked after then it could be the worst car because of all the issues you could have..........I have had a Turbo 2000, Classic v2 WRX and now a Classic Version 5 and have loved them all despite any niggles etc - To me no Impreza is a bad Impreza.......Now if we were talking about owners then don't get me started lolololol

Yeah why not

mind you that would've been quite spectacular with a nur spec R.

Think that Casa Blanca has won this thread tbh although the Operetta runs it a close second (all be it as a complete oddity).

It's a GC8 with different front or rear lights and grill. A bit like many of the abortive attempts at modding frequently gracing the pages of SN and SIOC.

Probably get shot down for this, but as the Cassablanca is N/A then I would vote (for looks)
1) S201
2) anything by Tommy Kaira...
3) WRX bug

Mechanically it is a toss up between a P1 and the 2.5 sti lump. I don't know many cars where you are blessed to get to 50k without a rebuild.

Of the turboa I agree, except I think I'd actually have a bug over a hatch...

Half expected someone to mention the chocolate engine cars...but a P1, now that I was not expecting.

This is like whispering an in-joke

Url Linkage?

I find it hard to believe there's something that looks worse than the hearse.

S201 all day long, they may be fast and limited edition but it looks like it was styled by someone on drugs. They didn't even make the bodykit the same colour as the car, the car was silver and the add on pieces were grey, a disgusting car really.
