I have the chance of a 61-plate, with very few miles, for £29,000. This seems a great buy, based on the rarity (75 made only was it?) and on the £50,000 price new.
So 2 questions for any Subaru-aware members here.
Is this car likely to always be worth good money? After all, it has to be around the fastest/rarest hot hatch of all time.
Can anything be done about the one real downside I have noticed after a test drive, namely, the horrendous turbo lag? People have said that 395 bhp from 2.5 litres is the reason but I had a 2 litre Evo 8 with 440 bhp which had less lag, massively more bhp per litre.
Thanx.
