It's a subie, it's a pretty bulletproof car, except the trannies. They are pretty weak under stress, I blew mine up. A few others locally here also had the problem. Later first year models had alot less problems with them, then the early first production models.
Great car, fun to drive. Reasonably fast, and for about 1500 in mods, can be a 13 second car. MAYBE high 12's if you catch a good launch. (Down pipe, up pipe, boost control, exhaust, STi engine mounts).
Pretty safe too, I rolled mine doing 130 in a 35. Totaled the car, I'm still here. I learned my lesson. Broken finger and a minor concussion. The frame of the car was in tact, considering it rolled 4 times.
