Did you manage to do any tests?

That would be great to see as I thought 11.5 seems a little slow for a Subaru I know its N/A but still...

Is there anything that can be done in terms of tuning on the RX Auto? I know most would say just get a Turbo version but thats not an option right now.

Yeah i was a bit shocked, the manual is 9.6 so not a great deal slower, for me the hatchback is the best looking Subaru especially the WRX and STI versions (that maybe controversial) so happy on that front as long as it has a little bit of pull i'll be happy.

Ok thanks, looking around it says 0-60 is 11.5 sec thats like Nissan Micra territory so i'm not expecting it to pin you back in your seat, should be able to test drive mid next week hopefully i'll like it because i'm not paying £500 a year to tax a WRX.

Managed to find it in the for sale section, Whilst I like most of the car there are a few things that i don't like so much unfortunately and its over budget especially with it needing a little TLC on the body work. Thanks for sharing though hope you sell it soon.

Hi James, Can you send me some pictures and some more details like milage and service history etc.

We are selling the family car and want something smaller and to make some extra money on top, I like my cars whilst the wife isn't all that bothered so I have to comprise as she will drive it more than i do and tbh I just can't bear the thought of driving around in a fiesta, focus, micra and the likes. So I started to look at the Hatchback version's of the scoobies and saw the RX and RC versions, I originally wanted an RC being a Boxer diesel but they are over budget so I showed the other half the RX and to my surprise she really liked it, i'm a massive fan of the that particular shape more so the sti version (which I hope to get after this one) an after digging around found a few that where a comfortable distance away one that was even a 5 minute walk away but they both happen to be the auto version, coming from an auto X5 I liked the thought of another auto so we decided we would reserve it for a test drive and thats when I started asking around to find out if it was any good. I did have concerns about its 0-60. What is the pull like on it? or is it just a steady acceleration?

Awesome thanks Jay762 exactly the kind of info i have been looking for! I don't get to test drive until the end of the week but I'm looking forward to it now! Can I ask why you went for the RX Auto?

Ah ok i was kinda hoping it had it as there is nothing better than hearing the burble, you instantly know what it is. I used to own a WRX bug and that sounded awesome. I guess the N/A RX auto is a different bag.

Ah ok thanks Stants Jay762 This maybe a silly question but does the RX Auto have the distinctive Subaru 'Burble'?

Seems a little on the high side, correct me if I'm wrong.

Did you mange to check this out?

That would be awesome

Awesome thanks for this, so how is it sounding/performing at around 80mph does it just cruise or is it a bit screamy?

I don't mind either but there are a couple black options available to me at local dealers and both are Auto and its a black version i really want. I just wanted to know how it performs at higher speeds being only a 4 speed box

Yeah not a lot going around on this model, top speed 113 mph 0-60 is shocking but that's not issue right now I just want to know if it struggles on the MW being only 4 speed ;)

I'm looking at a Subaru Impreza 2.0 RX Auto and realised that its only a 4 speed gearbox does anyone have any experience with one as i'm concerned that as you get up to 80mph it will start to struggle and scream being only 4 gears. Thanks in advance
