Ok cool although Sheffield is quite a long way for me.

Damn!! just had this back from Remus: Does anyone know of anywhere that may still stock it or have any alternative suggestions?

Thanks for that :) although I don't think that would fit mine as its twin. This is the one i'm after: https://youtu.be/F0XvMwI5rTU

I asked back along for some opinions on an Impreza Diesel as some of you are aware I went ahead and took the plunge, it was a very difficult task to get hold of the car because the first time I bought it the company went under, I then found it at auction and won it but the day of delivery the truck it was on broke down but I eventually got it! I must say I absolutely love it to own a Subaru again is just awesome and to have economy to go with it is even better I honestly think I may keep this car until it dies! Anyway I saw a few videos of the Remus exhaust on the diesel and it sounded pretty sweet, I know it will never sound like a WRX but to have some sort of grumble would be nice, does anyone know where i can get this exhaust from? if you have a link that would be great I have done a few searches but not had much luck.

Just found it come up at an auction tomorrow, shame its a 4 hour drive away! Anyone fancy popping along and bidding for me

It came with a 6 month nationwide warranty so i was told.

Luckily I only gave them £100 deposit, but whats really annoyed me is if they had been there like they should of been on Sunday I'd actually have the car now!!

Seriously P@$*ed off!! So I was supposed to pick the car up last Sunday but the guy i was dealing with was at a wedding and the others where with family due to a family death so weren't opening up the showroom, so we arranged that they would bring the car to me tomorrow, All was going lovely and got a text to say the car would be here between 12-1pm Perfect! 16:00 today i get a call to say sorry but you won't be having the car anymore because without warning at 8:30 this morning cars where being removed from the forecourt due to the company going into liquidation and there was nothing they could do about it. Gutted is an understatement, right now i just want to smash something!

I'd interested to know this as they offer the service literally just down the road. Charges £132

Cheers guys, me too

Took the plunge.......

That does sound like a bad Subaru experience! My Turbo went on my Bug which was a shock to the system didn't enjoy that bill!!

Yeah i think its a case of taking a risk which i'm probably going to do to be honest and I personally think every second hand car is a risk, my mate bought a focus for £800 thinking he just had a reliable runabout 2 months later cost him close to 1k in repairs! I've had a 2004 BMW X5 3.0D for 3 years only thing thats ever gone wrong is the door handle failed, I also had a brief ownership of a Audi TT amazing condition 2 days later the alternator failed so i guess in swings in roundabouts. I do agree though that its either going to go smoothly or i'll be back here waiting for the "we told you so"

WOW, You read my mind, you sir are a genius! But in all seriousness i'm kinda of hoping for a few positives as well as the negatives because lets be honest there are likes and dislikes and personal opinions on literally everything. One guy could tell me they are the bomb the other could tell me it's a risk and so far i'm getting the latter which is fine but i'd like to know if there are a few positives.

Yeah all this is great love hearing peoples opinions, but the only way I can get the wife to agree to a Subaru is either a non turbo RX which I test drove and didn't like or a diesel with the 50mpg and cheap tax. And if i'm honest the boxer diesel excites me

From what i can find Euro 5's weren't plagued with the same issues

Its a 2010 model which I believe is the newer unit is that right?

The first thing i find when looking around was this comment:

Even though i've heard nothing positive yet lol i'm still feeling quite excited about it.

So are these not reliable? does any own one that has had issues?

I'm quite surprised (and appreciate) at the comments, I thought people would be all over a diesel Subaru especially considering the 50mpg and the 180 a year tax.

I used to own a 2008 Mitsi lancer GS4 Saloon was a nice motor, but I want the Subaru look and economy in one package and this one seems to tick all the boxes.

IMPREZA RC 2.0D I'm looking around for a diesel Impreza and came across this one but the milage, and what looks like a fair few stones chips on the front is giving me a bit of doubt what do you guys think? I'm just thinking after a year of use i'd have taken it over 100k miles, I know milage shouldn't be an issue if its been well looked after but would like to get the views of others. Thanks

No don't need an auto just it was down the road from me so thought id give it a whirl! Think I have come to the conclusion that I can't have a N/A car need boost in my life. Its not the fastest but even my X5 makes me smile at times, I just didn't think the RX would be quite as disappointing as it was which is a shame because i love the shape and styling more than the traditional Scoobs. I would love a 2.0D RC but just a bit pricey so may have to wait until they drop.

Ok so just came back from the test drive and I have to say sadly its not for me! For a start the dealer told me it was immaculate condition but when i got there it had dents, scratches, cracked fog light etc overall it wasn't in great condition anyway that aside the drive for me was just to boring for want of a better word, I put my foot down and it was a little pathetic and didn't feel like I was driving a Subaru, don't get me wrong the look and the shape is beautiful its just the drive isn't there for me, i've driven a Micra with more go in it and as for engine noise that was non existent as well whilst i wasn't expecting the burble of a WRX I was expecting a more than what i heard. So overall i'm really disappointed as i wanted it to be so much more than it was, the search goes on.....
