Can anyone direct me to any power/performance stats on these estates?

I noticed a GT-B on sale with bidding at £3100 on e-bay but I presume they would normally expect to sell for more than that?

I would be interested in one from 1994 onwards (I know there was a new model somewhere around 2000 but realistically my budget is £5k at the top.

Cheers

There has never been a uk road test. I've got a 98 which is the new shape (99 on, don't ask!). There is a pic on my profile. I would estimate 0-60 in about 5.9. 100 in about 14. It is a seriously quick car!

top whack about 165mph

The sequential turbo system is ok though, it means you have alot more power down low down but the change over in turbo's at about 4K results in a whole at 3.5K, ok if are accelarating cos it just shoots through it, but change gear and drop the revs into the zone and you have to wait for the 2nd turbo to spool up. not such a problem witht the autos

They ONLY take super, and i manage about 230miles from a tank of 62 litres (which is too small)

The boots stupendously big and its much better built than the imprezza

Apart from different suspension, the pre 94-99's are mchanically the same.
