Really nice car.

Rob - you called the MY15 "Sedate" compared to the hatch. How so?

Only ask as I'm going to look at an unregistered STI next week.

Just to make sure - is there any way of telling that the car is the most latest version? I did ask the dealer about the latest stereo etc and he did the dealer "yeah yeah its the latest model..."

For MY16 10th character of the VIN should be a "G"

Latest model will have the starlink touchscreen stereo and chrome inserts around the main airvents amongst other small changes. e.g steering wheel controls are a slightly different design.

But I'm afraid that's not the case, All I will say is working for a dealer has perks & before its mentioned I own this car so no it's not a company car.

This one is the 3rd year revision so has all the starlink infotainment fitted & a few otherbits from the factory & well STI Japan have supplied a lot of parts through Subaru for it too.

My hatch was 460bhp 500 ft/lbs lol this is completely standard.
easy to identify. Auto windows all around, different steering wheel. New alloy trims on the door handles inside. New starlink system & key fobs with a blue Subaru logo in them as a button

Does the euro car get the bulkhead noise generator "sound tube" (as per BRZ) or is that purely for the US market
