Yes but using it and it becoming a rallying icon by winning the WRC are two very different things. You could use a motorhome for rallying, but it wouldn't win very much.

Why would you want air in the cabin , do you not have windows or air vents in the dash , or maybe you go to work or tescos in a helmet and multi layer nomex suit
Or live in the one area in the uk that has the same climate as southern Spain

So who's worse the guy with the fake rally car or the guy who thinks he's a rally driver lol

they all have wheels,exhausts and vents, spend your money buying the real version instead and not the wrx

you will find the 6 speed box and brembos far more usefull than a sticker on the door

I would think rally cars have the roof vent because the heater/blowers are removed. Can't really see the point in a road car as all it will do is let in unfiltered air and exhaust fumes.

Did I buy my car because of Colin Mcrae ?
.
The man who piloted a helicopter without a licence and without the skill to carry out the manoeuvres he tried in a wooded area, ending up killing himself and even more sad, his young son and two family friends

So no, I bought it because I liked the look of it and it sounds nice.

it has a similar effect as a sunroof, lets a lot more cool air in without the buffering you get from opening a window

With the subaru build quality i'm surprised the rear window doesn't get blow out when you open the roof vent If i want "cool air" without buffering i just turn on the air con.
