Impreza Turbo??? Awesome paint??? Original bodykit??? Tastefully modified exhaust??? Good quality interior??? Period correct plates??????? I think I'm dreaming😂😂😂😂, this is honestly one of the nicest classic Subarus I have ever seen! It doesn't get much better than this, fair play mate. That's a real unicorn car.

Most likely the best hot hatch investment from that era- very rare car sold low numbers and the 3.2 makes it unique. Gas flowed head and sport cats take them straight up to 285 bhp. A low mileage one will set you 30 k now,

It's is performing exactly as it was intended. Don't do a review of you don't even know why it was built or why it does what it does, because it does all those things perfectly. Also, you should know how the thing and all of it's parts work. There is a specific reason and purpose behind every feature. You don't seem to know what those things are.

Handsdown the worst review I’ve seen so far. This guy has absolutely no idea what an Overland four-wheel-drive vehicle is supposed to be. He has, obviously done very little research on the car before doing this video and as a result makes so many inaccurate statements and technical references. Go and watch Ronnie Dahl’s videos from Australia if you want a good review.

It's better than the F-Type in looks,space, and the convertible department.The only thing that looks better than the XK is F-Type's rear view of the car which I think looks incredibly better than the XK rear view which they could've made another Generation of the XK by giving the XK a similar facelift look of the F-Type's rear view.If they updated the XK like this,it would be the best looking car in the world.I believe the new Aston martins have the rear view look a new XK would sort of have if they did this,but I say they should've went ahead and made it completely look like an F-type in the back and just make the tail lights look a little different

@LloydtriescarsАй бұрын
What kind of driving do you do?! If you live out in the countryside, go for a manual, DCT if you are going to commute in it. Both are great options though.
@micraw714Ай бұрын
Back in 2020 when I bought mine, I drove the DCT first and felt a little let down almost not wanting to buy one. I decided to buy one out of state in manual and figured I'd sell it if I didn't like it. Four years later, it's still in my garage and always puts a smile on my face! It's a bit notchy and not the best manual transmission out there, but it's also not the worst! Ironically, I recently drove a friend's DCT version and really enjoyed and appreciated it! I would say drive both and eventually plan to own both 😅
