I have a MY98 Reddish Blue Turbo with 52,000 miles on it, if you call that low, it does about 4to 5K a year and does not come out in the wet.
Cheers

My 99 sti ra with 38,500. would,nt call it really low mileage though..

Under 20,000 would be classed as really low i reckon.

My MY00 has 37k which I expect is lower than average.
If I keep it a few years though and continue with the current mileage, it'll be a seriously low average

I have a MY99 with 27k. Hows that?

It had 15k when I got it nearly two years ago!

I'm disappointed in that I've just clicked over onto 20,000 in mine I can't say it's in it's teens anymore!




Out of interest, why do you ask?

I try to avoid using mine for going to work (use my mountain bike instead) so I've done about 5,000 miles in the 6 months I've had it. Apparently the 1st owner also had a Porsche, Ferrari, and Merc SL-something. He did 4k miles between 2001-2005!

Well said These cars are meant to be driven, not to be parked up in your garages while you admire them in an **** sort of way!

Oh and MY99, with 84k

Thanks, looks like theres a few around, the reason I ask is that I am on the look out for a low mileage 99/00 Impreaza Turbo and just wondered did they exist. Cheers.

It's not that we don't use them; some of us just don't need them for the daily commute to work! They get used for the purpose they were intended; getting driven enthusistically, not stuck in a traffic jam 5 days of the week!

BTW made an error, mine has 25k, not 27!!

I misread the trip computer DUH!!! Kinda nice feeling though, like finding £20 under the sofa!

There are several, some quite highly tuned, with over 150k!

If they're looked after and driven properly and tuned by people who understand the engine and its limitations, there is no reason why they shouldn't survive into old age.
