Hey guys been on the forum for a while now but thought i'd make my first post. Been a huge fan of Impreza's for a few years now and I've been saving roughly for a year to buy a GX sport blob. Currently a student 21 so WRX is out of the question due to running costs and insurance. Need to build myself some NCB. Just wanted to ask if the Sport it a good all round car to own. I'm quite worried about the 124hp output which seems quite low for a 2L car. But I think i'll go for it anyway and enjoy it. Any good experiences you guys had with a sport?
Many thanks!

Welcome to the fold buddy..[img]/happy-smiley-541.gif[/img]

 

Thanks guys. Overall is the Sport quite sluggish? or not too bad?

 

It's fine, just two things:

A: Do not go for a passenger ride in any WRX's or STIs
B: Do not spend thousands modifying the sport, spoiler / bonnet / alloys maybe but stop there and wait til you can afford a WRX or STI

Take if from me, I own a highly modified GL, and because I didn't do the above I want a turbo version but can't let my GL go.

 

I had a classic sport n it was not the fastest , was alot of noise n not alot of go for me but still a good all round car

 

Oh Geeez, here we go again...lol

Welcome to the forum mate from a fellow GX Blobeye owner. Be prepared to hear a variety of opinions about the car you have chosen. Some you will find positive and also negative.

As a Sport owner I can inform you straight up that yes, the 2.0L engine is sluggish in comparison to other marques as you will no doubt hear. But you need to just remind yourself why you chose the car you have-

If you chose it because you love Imprezas and figured it would be a good step onto the Subaru Ownership Ladder then I'd say you made a good choice!

Enjoy it! It will serve you well until you reach a time when a turbo model becomes more feasible!

 

All models of Subaru welcome here, so welcome mate

 

Welcome

Everyone has to start somewhere, enjoy the car!

 

ive got a fully sorted blobeye sport wrx lookalikey...as said not the fastest esp in 2lt;s..but the handling is ace, the looks and sound just like the real deal...and i love it, i bought mine at 43 even tho i could afford a nice turbo etc its good enough for me//and is a scooby end of

 

Welcome Zogbee.
I started just as you are, but 25 years later. I tend to get there eventually.
I loved my bugeyed gx sport, but it was a short union.
There's been a bit of of a hoo ha on here lately, as you'll have read no doubt.

Don't understand all the fuss and hot air.
It's a Scoob, it's yours, smile and enjoy the experience.

 

All the feedback is greatly appreciated guys thanks for the info and welcome. Friendliest forum I've ever come across lol
