What do i need to know before i look at some?
Or do i need an Evo?
What version are you going for? A decent evo will start at about £6k which buys a lot of Subaru as they are more common. Also, take note that a WRX up until about 2011 isn’t really a ferocious or stupidly fast car. If you’re looking at older ones they have about 220BHP new, so say about 210 BHP if you are feeling generous. Then it’ll lose more power than a 2wd through the power train so they are really only putting about 160/170ish bhp to the road. No more potent than a golf gti or a big diesel, though easier to drive fast.
Another thing is can you use the word reliability and wrx in the same sentance?
Depends. If it’s had a dogs life, cheaply modified, maintained on the cheap or not maintained then no. It’ll be a money pit. If it’s been enthusiast owned and had no expense spared then it’ll go well. Like most cars. It’s very common for owners to add STI components to improve their WRX but the engines are weaker.
And, clutch was very heavy. Think unless you plan to track it’s a big pointless.
No and no. I have a heavier clutch in the Legacy, and you get used very quickly.
