My mate has a GT3, good car I like it, don't know what power it's running but it boosts up to 14psi, it's a suprisingly quick car but I think you can tell it's only a 1.4 8v engine once you hit 80-90mph and top speed isn't much over 120. Also I don't like how they are geared, it will only do about 50mph in 2nd and 70ish in 3rd, it's like lots and lots of power comes to quick for the gearbox(if that makes sense?). Saying all this though i'd buy my mates tomorrow if he would sell it to me. . Uprated fuel pump, FMIC, crank the boost up and your looking at 180bhp for not much££££

I love people who say they are unreliable who haven't even owned one 
I had no problems with mine through wear and tear. The only problem I ever had was an oil leak where the company that did my engine work didn't tighten a clip enough.
After the Impreza it's my 2nd favourite car i've owned
