Subaru Impreza Saloon RB5 Prodrive Turbo 4WD 4d (1999/T) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Good performance for the money, bit thirsty when driven hard though.
Costs
Costs are low if they are looked after. Parts from dealers can be expensive, usually worth buying aftermarket parts. As I said, you'll make some friends at the local petrol station if your foot is as heavy as mine. Expect 18-22mpg.

Driving
Pretty good fun, handles well, potent.
Performance
Great fun to drive, responsive and very fast (At least I thought it was until an old Ford Sierra absolutely wiped the floor with me, twice!)

Living with it
Reliability
I've heard they're ok generally, I'm on my second engine and third gearbox though.
Image
Pretty hard to beat.
Comfort
Not really a long journey car, but then it's not designed to be!

Security and Service
Security
Invest in CAT1 or your pride and joy will become someone's getaway car!

Dealers are friendly on the whole, but parts are a little overpriced.
