very poor fuel economy, if you like the shape try to get a nonturbo model

hmm dunno about economy. Depends on your idea of good. Mine averaged 10-10.5l/100km out of town. In town 350 km to 50l approx. Was much the same as my 01 RSK B4 i had previously. Headlights are bloody expensive approx $350 plus fitting each and the stalks break easily. Manifold may warp if you turn up the boost too much. Great to drive and corner well for a wagon. Quite predictable when they let go and slide. Fairly neutral steering for 50/50 4wd. At least thats what i found.

I plus one that, the only thing i found on them though that i didnt like that they need the better range of tires, they love to understeer otherwise, same could be said about lot of cars, but this was quite noticeable

I think they're fairly over-priced fairly bland wagons. Yeah ok sure it has a turbo and 4WD but other than that the looks aren't *that* great and are similar to the Corona it shares its chassis with (which isn't a particularly outstanding one). I second the idea of getting a 2003 onwards Legacy GT instead, a much much better looking car, and more importantly a much more rewarding drive - and usually for the same price a 3-4 year older GT-T sells for.
I've also seen a handful of GT-Ts throw a rod outside of the block, often for no obvious apparent reason. One of the cars was bone stock with a decent service history and no signs of it letting go before hand.
