Picked up the keys on Friday to my new (oldish) car.

Its a 1998 UK turbo. Completely standard bar 2000 spec alloys and solid rear whiteline drop links.
Love it, hasn't been too bad on fuel however i haven't been on boost much.

Not bad for a car with 160000 miles. smile

Looks excellent for 160k! I had a bugeye on 115k and they wear the miles well if looked after!

Looks great, the wheels really suit it, how fresh does it feel at 160k, thinking of getting a classic shape and they all seem to have decent miles.

I used to have a 1998 turbo in green (with gold wheels paperbag) - loved it and it's still one of my all time favorite motors smile Nice choice.

The car has had two owners from new, both have maintained it regardless of cost, so there is not a single knock or rattle, less than my 04 Fabia.

I love it!

Great cars. We've got a Turbo 2000 wagon, and love it to bits.

Sounds like a great example, well done!

Nice car,

We've got a 04 WRX with 24k on in which obviously feels like new, its quite a quick car i do like Impreza's not a fan of there new move but hey what can ya do.

As for the old skool shape thats by far the best style.. i'm not a fan of what they did to the looks after that, sorta took the edge off it and made it, well girly smile
