Evo Magazine 100th Issue Special – Ten Fastest
"We’ve said it before, but the statement bears repeating: this is as close to a four-door, four-seat 911RS as you’re ever likely to drive."- Evo
"The flying Subaru Impreza has laid down an impressive 1.22.25 marker, some 5/100ths quicker than a Koenigsegg CCX!"- Evo

Fifth Gear
"Astonishing performance"
"This car is bought by supercar owners but the irony is that this is probably the fastest car they own."
Autocar Review
"This is ludicrous: every time I negotiate the corner where we took this photograph, I’m carrying a few extra miles per hour. And every time the Litchfield Impreza Type-25 laps it up. In the end the visibility and my bottle run out well before the limits of its grip."- Autocar

Subaru Forester STI (MPV/4x4 Class Winner)
Class winners and Fastest Japanese cars for the 2nd year running
"Richard Meaden has been driving Litchfield’s mighty Type-25 and, being dialed-in to the Impreza, the 911 Turbo’s handling comes as a bit of a shock! He pulls in after four or five laps looking distinctly ashen. ‘Bloody, that’s scary’ (911)"
