Did Subaru ever build a 4WD version or this car is the old 555 shape? Loads of 1.6's for sale here but I haven't seen one advertised as 4WD yet.

The one before this one mate, with the rectangular lights. Like the one Colin McRae & Carlos Sainz used to drive.

Yeah, like the 4 door version of the 22B.

Wouldn't mind a 22B but it'll set me back about €9k!

There was meant to be a 2 in there. €9k or €29k, I'd still be shot for spending that on a car! haha

The Subaru did do a 1.6 4wd Classic yes. Not many but they did do some!
IIRC, insuring a 2litre Non-Turbo is cheaper than both 1.8 & 1.6!

That's the exact one I found mate!

Does anybody know how much I'd be looking to pay for a decent 2 litre non-turbo?

Would importing a car not be very dear, or do ya mean buy an import already in the country?

You might as well go the full hog and not worry about buying insurance.

Probs not, my import just says Subaru Impreza and engine capacity on the logbook, nothing more. Still, bad idea.

Does anyone know anything about the 1.8 auto? I've bought a 1992 1.8auto estate, but don't know anything about them. My father in law has sorted it for us, so haven't yet seen it, but it sounds like it'll be a tank.

It's only a short term car so not too fussed, just wanted to see if anyone has any experience of them
