Had a 3rd gen GTA before this, and sold due to the gas prices that where rising, now I regret getting rid of the car, and I'm willing to trade my fuel efficient Subaru for another 3rd gen Trans Am or Formula, due to the fact my new job would supply me enough cash for fuel once more.
My car.
1998 Subaru Impreza, AWD (2.5 RS everything)
Engine and transmission: Originally a 2.2 litre, it was replaced with a 70K mile EJ25 and drivetrain. The EJ25 is a 165hp 2.5 litre, same engine that was in the 2.5 RS. Transmission is also an automatic. No leaks of oil, doesnt burn oil, runs smooth starts up and drives like new, take the car anywhere you want, extreamly reliable and dependible. Engine has a CA carb legal Injen cold air intake, as well as a set of pullys on the crank and one on the alternator. front and rear differential also perfect and do not leak a bit.
Suspension and brakes: Better then new. Suspension has been redone. I do not know to what extent, however after a few friends have looked at it they told me it appears it has aftermarket shocks and springs all around, front and rear sway bars and strut tower braces, struts, bushings, the works. The car is very stiff, and handles exceptionally in the turns. The brakes up front where redone before I picked up the car, as where the rear drums. The car stops perfect, and doesnt experience alot of brake fade on the track.
Wheels and tires: WRX wheels and new tires (as of April). Wheels are good, no scratches or bent lips. Car has a set of Ray's lug nuts installed, they are blue, however they are not in the best condition so I am going to also include the stock nuts with the car.
Interior: The interior is tan, and is very very clean. There are no rips or tears, or any obvious signs of wear what so ever. The front seat and drivers seat are very clean, however one is out of another Subaru, same year, look identical except for the pattern, don't know what that's about, but I didn't know this tell about 3 weeks ago when a friend noticed it first, I didn't notice at all. The car has an old school form of Navigation, it's a N.E.W.S. device that shows altitude, temp, etc. Really old school. A Kenwood CD and mP3 player take place of the OEM tape player that once sat in it, along with Infiniti speakers in the rear, sounds good for having the rest of the speakers stock.
Body: Body has one minor dent on the front left fender, other then that's its completly straight and clean, no noticeable dings and dents. The car was repainted once in it's life, would not hurt to have another one, but I like the car just the way it is.
City about 24 mpg, Highway about 28-31 miles per gallon.
Looking to trade for a nice clean 3rd gen, 5.0 or 5.7, auto or 5 speed, does not matter.
If you like the look of a old school WRX, this is for you. The suspension in the car is better then the newer model WRX cars, all you need to do is add a turbo, and you have a nice fast d/d.
