Subaru Imprezas are no strangers to stage rally. However, almost all of those rally-ready Subies feature all-wheel drive. Forum member HFmaxi is offering up his front-wheel-drive Subaru Impreza rally car, ready to go duke it out in the dirt—or pavement. The asking price? $12,000.

The car so nice you shared it twice?
In reply to Duke :
Well that's weird. I don't remember that happening before. Let's see what happens when I try to delet one of them.
Kevin's really quick and he has the car developed well. You could do a lot worse.
In the U.K. and I'd assume Europe at large things like Vauxhall/Opel Novas were standard fare for young drivers to cut their teeth on. Colin McRae and Mark Higgins being two. This could be even more forgiving perhaps.
Kevin (usually with Matt Rhoades) have been campaigning that car for some time (true story, the first used rally tires I bought for the e30 back in 2012 were old/worn ones from that car). It's well-built, well-developed, and last year took first place overall (IIRC) at the mud-fest Waste Management Winter Rally (yeah, it beat the AWD cars). A lot of that is because Kevin is a great driver and Matt is a great Navi, of course. I also don't have any recollection of seeing that car broken by the side of a stage, which speaks again to the reliability of the build. Not sexy, but it's at worst "quite competitive" in the 2WD regional rallies.
