Help!!! How long might this car last?
It has over 274k miles. They're asking 1k! Asking for a friend. I believe it's a melon.

Overall very happy with this car. It was my first ride ever, so it'll always remain near and dear. Like any car, keep up with maintenance and it will reward you. If you live in an area with snowy winters, I would recommend a subaru over any SUV. May 02, 2012

This car is frighteningly fast not for the faint hearted. All the mods and money spent really make this a very very special car. It will be my toy for many years to come happy days. Cant wait to play again some more yipeeJan 01, 2011

This car is great fun to drive the performance and accelaration are second to none. As hopefully you will agree i have modified this car in a tastefull way. Every where i go i get comments and looks from every angle. The only down side is the cost of fuel, not because of the amount i use, because of the extautionate price due to the greedy government and fuel companies. But i still love her all the same no matter how much she drinks.Jan 01, 2011

It was a solid car with cheap interior, If I could have built it it would have been one of the best cars I've had, Gas mileage wasnt to hot. AWD Was different from what I was use to but I adapted...Jul 31, 2010

Reliable and AWD for awsome all year around driving. With the EJ18 it is very under powered but still looks good. Even though the car is slow it is still find to drive on back roads and in the snow.Sep 13, 2009

absolutly amazing car to drive easily the best handling car ive driven put it into any corner any speed the dash board lights up and the computer wizardry sorts it out and off it goes
takes a hell of alot to get this car into a drematic state.
interior is very bland is my only critisisAug 27, 2009

a good car to own, with a sound that is unmistakable to any other car on the road, would get you anywhere in britain quicker than most cars on the road in any weather condition, the performance was awsome and even keep up with cars 3 times the price tag..
the build quality was good if a tad on the plasticy side inside,, appearance wise it looked fast even when standing still but the but the big boot spoiler did look a little boy racerish, the cost of ownership was a little high for a 2 litre car, servicing needs to be done every 6,000 miles or 6 months whatever was first and insurance is high due to it being a car thief's trophy, but fuel ecconomy is not the reason you buy this car,
this car has fun factor definatly as you watch the smile fall of porche driver faces from your rear view mirror!!!!Aug 15, 2009

Subarus in general have a lot going for them in my mind. They have the boxer engine and the beautiful rumble. The grip from awd. They aren't super common. They are reliable. Overall great car, mine had the 2.2 liter engine which made decent power, not as sporty as the 2.5RS, but way better power than the 1.8 liter version.Jul 30, 2009

this car is pretty amazing because it is very reliable and the awd on this car blows me away every time i drive it. I know my next car is going to be another subaru, I never knew they could be such a great car.Jul 29, 2009

Quick car. Great acceleration. Holds the road well. Sucks gas but who cares if it's quick. Had very few problems in 5 years of owning it and most outlaid was for new tyres. Stupid is as stupid does said Foreest GumpJul 18, 2009

It needs a paint job and some adjusties. Not to hard to fix however can be a little expensive to fix. Costs about $300 for road worthyness and is fun to drive. Can handle high speeds and goes around corners like a dream. I have some mean rims on them which have the effect of oil in water.Jun 24, 2009

It's a nice family car but does not have alot of foot room and just fits me, my husband and 2 kids in car seats barely. I wouldn't suggest more than a 3 hour drive. It has enough trunk space for your dogs or taking trash to the dump. Apr 12, 2009

If you love cars, i class these as a big go cart!
4 doors makes it a practicle family saloon with a bit of oomph. Look for the limited 2 door p1s if you want that little badboy toy. Dont forget they all crash the same & old bill magents so be careful.Sep 06, 2008

Its a Subaru Impreza Series Mcrae, its pretty unique, the dashboard was signed by colin himself.
Reliable, fast, loads of fun and its unique.
Uses loads of petrol, but you get your monies worth.
This car has been on top gear, I had it from new and I love everything about it.Aug 16, 2008

Kyseessä siis GT mitä tuo lista ei antanut vaihtoehdoksi, laatuhan on japanialaikseksi oikein hyvä, mitä nyt peltien paksuudessa ovat tinkineet painon eteen. Turboauton kanssa nyt aina on pieni pelko koska paukahtaa mutta elämä on:) Tällaisella ajan koska en halua hukkua prisman parkkikselle niiden tuhansien harmaiden farkkujen sekaan, niin. kuinka paljon tähän pitää kirjoittaa?Aug 13, 2008

Impreza Turbo 4WD.
Great car to own.
Great handiling after new shocks and springs, very practical as there are 5 doors and just enough room for 5 people. Fast too.Jan 14, 2008
