I enjoyed every minute of it. One thing in its favour was I never has ANY issue with it ever!I can't say the same thing for my T, I wish I could though......On any piece of road though I could drive the WRX faster than the T. Simple - more grip that's all. They are both fine cars. Love to have the WRX back. As well!

He meant that point to point on twisty roads (ie Reefton Spur with 200+ corners in 18km of road), the WRX is far faster. Ditto along roads like Mt Donna Buang and the Acheron Way where it's all gravel and dirt. When I had my WRX, I loved going for a weekend fang along these roads, these is where the WRX really shines. Took my XR6T thru the Reefton Spur ... never again will I do that. The standard brakes are hopeless on a road like that, they were suffering fade big time after only 20-30 corners so had to back off completely. My WRX would of out-handled it, out-cornered it, and out-braked it, no question about that. Having said that though, the XR6T auto is an awesome car but in different respects and I had no major regrets in selling my Rex for a T. Oh yeah, I never had any problems or issues with my Rex. Haven't had any with my T either but it's only just over 3 weeks old ....

Especially considering its a piffling 168 kw's!CheersJim I can show you more than a few warranty claims to Subaru for gearboxes in rex's if you like. While im at it, ill show you all the ones for the STI's motors that shat themselves too..... You might be immune to warranty, but your fellow rex drivers certainly aren't.Subaru has its fair share of warranty problems too, even with their piffling 168kw.

Guest ozzyjim Guests Posted 24/03/04 10:42 AM Share Posted 24/03/04 10:42 AM I can show you more than a few warranty claims to Subaru for gearboxes in rex's if you like.No doubt, but I bet you find 90 out of 100 are modded, which = no warranty.While im at it, ill show you all the ones for the STI's motors that shat themselves too.No need, I know about them too, 99/00 models I believe, (4/5 years ago), hardly any probs with the new age sti's (unmodded ones anyway).Subaru has its fair share of warranty problems too, even with their piffling 168kw.Never said it didnt, just stated that mine hasnt missed a beat and has never NEEDED a visit to the dealer. Is this turning into a war or something??? If so, take it to the track I say, the results will speak for themselves:)CheersJim Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/9496-quick/page/7/#findComment-104757 Share on other sites More sharing options...
