Subaru Impreza Saloon (2000 - 2005) 2.0 GX Sport 4WD 4d (2002/52) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

GX Sport looks similar to the turbo models (although wheels and spoliers are smaller) so it has a 'boy racer' look that the 125 bhp engine can't match.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Looks a like a turbo model, hence a looks a bit more expensive and quicker than it really is.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Possibly.

What are you likely to buy next?

Would consider another Subaru 4WD with more power and a better spec: Impreza/Legacy/Forester. Much cheaper and more reliable than VW/Audi 4motion/quattros.
