Default My GX Sport

Been a lurker on this forum for quite a while, dreaming one day I'd own an Impreza - However trying to insure a turbo at the age of 21 is rather difficult, so until then I have had to settle for a GX Sport.

Here's a few pictures, only took from an iphone so not brillant quality!

Opinions welcome




Exhaust has since been changed.

Looks the part, what are the wheels - are they multi fit or is that part of the design? they look mint btw.
Only ask because I'm pricing up a refurb and wondered what they cost you.

Thanks It was fairly quiet when I got it, so I had a custom exhaust fitted with new back box and straight few pipe - Sounds hell of a lot better! I think the Zunsport grill will be next on the list to do! I was wondering if I might get a negative reply about sports, but everyones been kind so far

I have a turbo and I'm 22, and yes insurance is a joke: but that's a nice sport!

I've been looking at insurance prices for when I turn 22, which has dropped considerably so hopefully next year if it stays that way I can replace it for a turbo!

Hi from a fellow girly with a black GX. Yours looks lovely and gives me a really good idea of how mine could look after a few tweaks

May I ask if you know whether or not it is sitting on the std. GX suspension? It looks like it could be as it sits fairly high like mine but I know some people have been known to swap them out with WRX suspension and what not.
