Glad I sold my Impreza

I was in North Sydney this morning, there was a little accident, turns out the car pictured below caught fire sitting in traffic...



Glad I sold my Impreza (it was the old shape, not a fan of the new ones).

it must be a horrible feeling watching your car go up in smoke

The woman driving was unharmed, but yeah, I would be wondering if I wanted another Impreza (not exactly confidence inspiring).

I thought it was a daewoo lanos . But i must give the Daewoo credit, i had one from new and 260,000km and i didn't have a single problem with it hehe.

FTA: "The car model was not known ..."

I get that they don't want to put the brand name in the article for possible legal action, but don't lie. Just don't mention it.

I had the lanos from new in 98 till 2002 and i think i had one of those superior cars. I did like almost 270,000km and nothing ever went wrong. And actually when i sold it back home I sold it for the same price i bought it new because of extreme currency differences and an increase in importation taxes. I must admit i maintained it well, but i abused it but didn't have a single glitch with that car and it cost near nothing to keep it going. I then inherited an 1989 e34 M5 which had been my dads since new and it had about 150,000km when I got it but i couldn't afford not to drive it a lot and I also couldn't afford to drive it alot hehe but it was my pride and joy even when it was my dads. Its the reason i love cars hehehe. But happy enough i know the guy that bought it so i give her a visit everytime im back for holidays.
