The biggest difference is the change from a carpet to leather centre consol. It really lifts the cabin and raises the quality IMHO. Of course early owners can buy an aftermarket item

I don't care whether it's considered by some to be girly, poofy or hairdresser ish, this 100% heterosexual old git loves it.
Do i know you by another user name on one of the CTR forums ? Geoff.

Dream Weaver - what year car did you try? I used to find my MY02 a bit cramped (i'm 6 foot) but my MY04 is much betterer.
The "hump" in the floor is the crossframe, which gives it stronger chassis than a lot of cars, hence loads of people bin them sideways at speed and walk away:
Even this the guy walked away from (LHD):

Its cold but dry here and mines has been pulling MEGA hard today!! I put her nicely sideways in a straightline on the 1st-2nd change! From 8000rpm-9000rpm it is explosive I think she took a liking to the batch of optimax it got this morning as well - you know when you get that 'special' tank of fuel that just seems to agree

hi guys, would like to know your comments on a deal i have on the table.
i have been offered £12k for my 03 wrx ppp 29k on clock (big 30k service looming) in part ex for a 52 plate s2000 49k on clock at £15k. its black with black leather.
I have been wanting a change for some months now & to be honest this is the only car i fancy, but was willing to wait until new year until i saw this one nearby. To me it doesn't seem a bad deal & although im 6' 4" i feel comfortable enough in it, i guess i just feel nervous about letting my scoob go & getting a 2 seater/convertable for the first time.
p.s. im on my own here, the rest of my family want me to keep the scoob.
