    That was an excellent sentiment "you should never meet your heroes" and its gotten me thinking. I've been lucky enough to own just about every car I've ever wanted to own, but the experience has been much the same for each one. I can't wait to get in it and drive it after having really wanted it or having aspired to own one for so long, but then after a few months, sometimes days, it becomes just another car. Experience has taught me that is pretty much the case with everything and that is the way the world rolls. There is no real joy in lusting after material items.

    I've been lucky enough to drive P1and an RB5. I did many miles in the RB5. For me, the RB5 just felt a little more composed when really pressing on. Not tried a 22B. For me the RB5 is the ultimate Q car for fun.

  • @machidaman

    That P1 owner is the right person to own that car. Daily drive it, still enioys it despite the value. I own a V5 STi RA, bought in 2006 when i was living in Japan and still regularly drive it today at 120,000 miles,; they are an absolute blast to drive.
    One correctio though - all GC8 cars (except the type RA/R) from V III/D onwards had ABS. It was only deleted for DCCD ewuipped cars after that.

    I have a WRX coupe in Rally Blue. First time I took my wife out for a drive on the freeway, the driver of a BMW nearly leapt out his window to wave and take pictures.
    My wife turns to me and says, “This really is a special car, isn’t it?”
    I could only smile and laugh.

  • @welloilbeefhooked4984
    @welloilbeefhooked4984 Год назад +5

    P1 was far from the best impreza, most engines went bang after 40k miles, it was based on a JDM Version 4 STi Type R, but the added ABS, and made it softer for the UK roads, personally it was probably the 2nd best UK impreza behind the 22B, but pretty much every JDM Impreza STI from that era was head and shoulders above anything the UK had to offer at the time.

      I've both a P1 and V4 V-limited Type R.
      I get a lot of hate on owners clubs for saying the P1 handles better. V4 has had several engine rebuilds and the P1 has had a complete underside resto before it turned to dust

      You might be confused by the fact that the 22B is based on the version 4.
      In terms of colour and interior the P1 is similar to the version 4 type r limited (Blue coupe with no roof scoop and momo wheel.
      However I’m certain the P1 is a modified version 5-6. It has the EJ207 (V4 has an EJ20K), version 5-6 front bumper, version 5-6 styled big wing. It’s also the same model year as the version 6.

  • @jameskerry5581
    @jameskerry5581 Год назад +5

    No dccd gearbox, so no not the best impreza. P1 understeers thanks to its uk spec log ratio gear box with open centre diff. Buy a JDM type R with the proper close ratios and adjustable centre diff control and you'll not be disappointed.

  • @Brickhazard
    @Brickhazard Год назад +5

    The P1 was nothing more than a V3 Sti import that was "homologated to use on uk roads". They removed DCCD to fit ABS and made the suspension softer. If you want the best classic that isn't a 22B you want a Version 6 Japanese import.

    • @Miiikeru
      @Miiikeru Год назад

      It’s got an EJ207 and an updated interior so it must be based on a V5 or V6 import.
      Years also match, P1 was sold in 2000 during the Version 6 model year.
      V3 has the older interior with no airbags and an EJ20K. Also sold 4 years before the P1 (1996-1997)

    Anyone calling P1 the best Impreza simply dont know what they are talking about. Performance, durability and handling is far superior in any newage sti, especually the jdm widetrack versions. Collectability and looks wise, there is no competition, it is 22B. P1 is just a watered down STi Type R.
