For sale with Historics at Brooklands. Brooklands Motor Racing Circuit. Weybridge. Surrey. Call 01753 639170
Introduced on 1st March 1993. the Impreza. which according to an
article in 'Motor Trend' was initially to be called the Loyale. was
offered in either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive versions and
as a four-door saloon or five-door hatchback/station wagon. Subaru
chose to continue their longstanding use of the boxer engine in the
Impreza. According to Subaru. their configuration of the engine
in-line with the transmission minimizes body roll due to the lower
centre of gravity compared with offset engines in most other
vehicles. The boxer design provides good vibration mitigation due
to the principles of a very well balanced engine. the movement of
each piston is largely countered by a piston in the opposing
cylinder bank. eliminating the need for a counter-weighted rotating
crankshaft (harmonic balancer). Torque steer is also minimised with
this type of powertrain layout since the front drive shafts are of
equal length and weight.

This genuine UK car was originally registered on 17th
October 1998 and has had only two former keepers; the current
vendor having owned her for the last seven years. This Subaru comes
with a full main dealer history confirming that the cambelt was
changed at 20. 73 miles and again at 43. 51 miles and also that a
clutch has been fitted together with upgraded four pot brake
callipers and new discs and pads. The overall condition is
described by the vendor as being very good. although he has stated
that the air-conditioning requires re-gassing and there is a small
oil leak from the engine. neither of which detract from the
driveability of this Impreza Turbo. Supplied with a V5 registration
document and an MoT test certificate valid until 5th
June 2016. this Subaru is offered at no reserve and. with a
warranted 55. 48 miles. is certainly one to watch.
