What do you think of 22B?
The ultimate Subaru or a over priced STI 4 thats
had its day?

Cheers

The ultimate (but overpriced)

The ultimate, but don't crash it. Parts can be a nightmare to get hold of.

Agreed but have my I on something close

Probably easier to drive on the Track than day to day on the road. There again not done either for long enough to give a good opinion

Yeh, from comments made, always thought that the P1 was the better option for our roads, but when you see the 22B in the flesh, it's just soooo much meaner looking, I think I'd put up with any of its short comings.

it really does look awesome, those flared arches at the front and back somehow make the car look shorter and altogether meaner.

never driven one though - one day!

I'd say it isn't the ultimate in engineering or ability, thats for sure, but it's still my favourite.

I think in terms of looks they are the business, and nothing comes close externally. The dash / interior is a little.....dated

I went in a Import 22b and was shocked at how planted and stable the car felt, although I wasn't driving. They are so quick, with the extra torque....Made my mod'ed RB5 feel really slow.

As mentioned above, don't crash / hit anything in it, they are bloody expensive to repair, if you can get the parts. Engine parts are the same Try find a head gasket for one!!!

I do feel they are far to expensive for what they are!!

they are awesome. so much more presence on the road than a standard scoob. every time i see one i think **** me they look good!!! only down side is the price to buy one. i went to grade A breakers and they had one with a busted front bumper and no front wing and still wanted £18000 for it!!!!!

22B's are a bit long in the tooth now, from memory they are at least 5 years old now. If its for a 2nd car for weekend use then I would go for a well cherished 22B, if its your daily driver I'd go for an STi 8.
