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?
I had a SF5 2001 s turbo manual lost it too rust ! Tryna find another one or a wrxs thats not automatic is hard ! Rear subframe went half of it dissolved into thin air rear turrets were gone
@@ShiftingMetal Scotland weather nightmare its still on the road is it sad that am tryna buy it back lol followed you on Instagram that s turbo was amazing michellin all seasons 50 mph in deep snow felt like colin mcrae in that haah
Now watching this video makes me think I got a bargain on my scooby it's your favorite 2.5 wrx hawkeye 56 plate it owes me 3700 I think down side mot ran out what do u reckon its worth with 97k on the clock 🤔🤔🤔
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 😂 We still think we're in a position to dictate terms to other people 😂
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

Thanks for watching Phillip 👍
I think they are great drivers cars 👍👍👍
The 2.0 is the engine to have in these! Great buy 👌
Awesome, and I didn’t even know it! 😅
Why that mines a 2.5😯😯
@@flippingcarsrepairs just not as strong as the 2.0, the 2.5 is where all the memes and mickey taking comes from regarding the headgaskets
@@flippingcarsrepairs still a great engine though
@@danielmills4898 fingers crossed mine is big standard and engi es ri ning fine for now 😁
This car is on ebay now needing an engine rebuild
Beautiful car mate, bargain 👍🏼

yes the 2.5 engine suffers with headgasket issues its a shame those engines are not more reliable

No way! Yes I did. That picture was the first we took in the showroom when we moved into our current premises!
@@ShiftingMetal yep lol, small world! Did it white I believe it's back on marketplace up in Scotland now for 9k

That sucks, it seems to be the death of most Japanese stuff in the UK!

That interior is pretty woeful for such a prestige car.
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 👍

Forgot to mention is that the blob lines is to cover the eyelashes 😂

Fair enough, we can’t all like the same things. I think it makes it sounds far more powerful than it is
It’s the uneven headers that give the sound away. Some people even length headers on and it sounds totally different.
Thats wrong you can put equal length headers on and it changes the sound of the car totally
Nice looking Subie!
What sort of MPG are you getting out of yours?
Average says online of about 20ish
