Weak gearboxes(usually syncro trouble leading to bigger hassles) and weaker pistons/cranks If youre in the market for an impreza and can afford sti insurance get an sti to start with,you generally find the ppl with std uk cars end up modding them to near on sti spec to be happy with them anyway and generally the sti`s are an all round stronger package.

sticking pressure relief valve can be a problem on oil pump aswell-not sure if this were modified on later cars but were an issue on classics hence places like roger clark motorsport doing a modified one to try an resolve the issue.

o-ring between power steering reservoir/power steering pump ive known leak on a few

Usual sensors packing up like any other car maf/crank/cam/lambda though can diagnose these an if not ppl on here or scoobynet will generally explain whats wrong-its rare nobody`s had the problem before.

I find its rare you have sml problems its generally engine ie pistons/crank/headgasket failure or gearbox-nackered syncros, lost gears + strange noises........eh tidgy

Know all this sounds bad but to be fair its a performance car-you get performance car bills with em.

If folks want reliable all the time try an audi or bmw.
