    What a cool car! Drove a W reg one years ago and loved it. Just reminds me of the rally legend Colin Mcrae evertime I see a blue Mk1. The price you bought it for seems brilliant and it can only go up in value. I also prefer the Subaru over the Evo. There's just something about them. Great vid as always.

    Heard the 2.5 L Hawkeye WRX has reliability issues. 2.0 L Bugeye/Blob eye better. But Bugeye WRX’s have shitty transmissions. Blobeye the better package.

    The silver Hawkeye 38 seconds in, to my surprise I recognize it...I ended up buying that car and did a full colour change, added STi bits, new interior etc...was this a car you owned at some point?

      Sounds like a winner so long as it’s not too rusty. Last one I sold was a 55 plate on 102k miles back in Feb 22 for £7995 👍 It was a lovely example with history, keys etc etc though

    Cover the covid from the pictogram by making it into a circle blob as a sun with sun shinelines without making them curved so the darkness can eat all my lace bubbles so the Phoenix can go free 😂 then making Shiva my ear as a half sharp curve to the left which covers my brain swelling 😂 so 8 can detach from 7 and making it into a 4 ear 😂

      They’re all much like that though. The prestige come from their bare bones rally pedigree I think

      You can get an SL trim with leather seats, sun roof and heated seats. I had that model and it was pretty nice 👍

    You saying about the sound of these is the exact reason I don't like these. Yes it is unique and cool, but no matter what you do to the exhaust system of these, they still sound practically the same. I like a car that leaves you guessing by sound. Don't get me wrong, overall, I don't mind the Impreza or Subarus in general, but the sound is one thing I don't like because of how monotonal and obvious it is

    • @ShiftingMetal
      @ShiftingMetal  Год назад +3

      Fair enough, we can’t all like the same things. I think it makes it sounds far more powerful than it is

    • @nedkelly4999
      @nedkelly4999 Год назад +1

      It’s the uneven headers that give the sound away. Some people even length headers on and it sounds totally different.

    • @EducationalSnipers
      @EducationalSnipers Год назад

      Thats wrong you can put equal length headers on and it changes the sound of the car totally
