I can see where this comes from, Mine is the most fun I've had (driving) BUT with all these bills coming in, I question the old over new in the long terms costs. But if you've gotten one thats been kept in good nick then I hope you have a good time and don't have too many big bills.

Watch them corners when the boost kicks in...

Unfortunately I've just had to replace two tyres, rear pads and discs, front pads and disc, front callipers Now Exhaust section (with cat on) is blowing Oh and it's due an interim service and MOT.

Other than that though it's only the fuel costs. But hey it's fun to drive / cruise in.

You'll love it mate!!!
I've had a low mileage MY95 WRX for about a year and use it everyday. General maintenance has been as expected (i.e. no nasty suprises yet - touch wood), they are not the money pit that everyone seems to think they are.... Get used to the handling before you up the power too much, they can be tricky on the limit....

Don't get a bloody stupid dump valve, unless you really want your car to sound like a demented sodastream!!

...or a steam pressure cooker like the one Mrs Higgins uses at the old cottage down the lane. I keep telling her to get one of those new electric vegetable steamers.
