The P1 compared to the UK Turbo 2000 was indeed a huge leap forward. P1 still got lots of flack though 'cos the JDM STI Type R was better equipped and cost around £8k less by the time the cars hit the showroom. Even worse, production run was doubled so there were 1000 of the blighters.
22B UK wasn't immune to it either, damn import owners mock my final drive and resultant gearing

What exactly is the huge improvement that the P1 had over the standard car?
For starters near 70 bhp, 2 doors,17"wheels, sonic blue paint with everything colour coded,specially designed front splitter and back wing with carbon insert,rear wash wipe,nice driving front lamps, tweaked suspension, std tracker and the car was probably lighter too (ally bonnet for starters)
Prob some things I missed but you get the general idea
All in all a significant improvement over a standard car

davyboy i don't think saying things like that is going to help any debate, it's called tempting fate
playing on peoples emotions can be very fickle and destructive

All in all a significant improvement over a standard carBut lets not just forget the small fact that the UK buyer can now have what they've always wanted - the DCCD and a lot more exclusivity than the P1.
Plus it will stand out more in a crowd of 6 million other sonic blue Subaru's

magazines all have diffrent views people have diffrent views what matters is that you are with the car you have bought have driven evos and a WR1 and i personally prefer the WR1 and there are only 500 made so they are bit special and very diserable.

Yawn - boring
OK, some of my points may be having a bit of a dig and not comparing to the standard STI.
But thats what happens when you try and control 6 fecking "know it all" programmers who really do think they know better.
There's one in particular who's not that long out of nappies whom I had a Gordon Ramsay moment with earlier.
It went something like "Listen, just do what your feckin told - I've probably forgotten more about this than you're likely to learn"
Funnily enough, he's just sat in his wee seat coding away quite happily now.

So again I ask, "What exactly is the huge improvement that the P1 had over the standard car?"

You asked for p1 differences against a uk standard car. Was not an invitation to put "me too wr1 etc" after every one of my quotes.
For starters near 70 bhp
Sorry, but bollox
Sorry, but bollox
2 doors are indeed more desirable and asethitically more pleasing to the eye than 4 doors
nice driving front lamps
Yeah, nice and fecking small

Think you'll find that the car that stands out from the crowd is the P1
Also, if the main reason you have purchased(?) a WR1 is to stand out from the crowd, then that's a very sorry reason.

208 versus 276, thats boIIocks is it?

Actually the driving lamps are a significant improvement on the largely usless items generally found on Imprezas.
The Uk buyer has not got DCCD. The DCCD is a manual dif control found on classic imports. What you have is a DCCA which is non manual and automatic. And frankly, having owned a DCCD car I do not miss the system at all, and prefer I didn't have it.

I haven't got a P1 but I have been in on and I love it in a different way. I chose a WR1 as my next purchase. You lot can argue till you are blue in your face cos I'm out for a drive.
Regards davyBOY - would love to make a final comment but would hate to set you up with the "slander" threats that I'm sure you also used in the playground.

Somebody asks for differences between a P1 and a standard classic, answers given. How you have taken this as a slight against the WR1 is unfathomable.
These threads 'turn out' like this because of ignorant insults that people like you bandy about. Such a complex about owning a WR1.

I don't have a WR1, I may get one though, but not for the "standing out in a crowd" reason.
