Thought I might as well post some pics up to reaffirm why the P1 is the Ultimate Subaru... hehe, just messing Type R owners (oh and Tony...)

The P1 is a great car, just as great as the four door STI, which is great! However, unless you actually prefer the character of those cars (which is your right of course) it's more than likely you will find the r's and ra's better, because they were designed to be better.

As you can see on the left, I have owned some quite nice Imprezas, especially a sti5typeR a P1 and a Uk spec 22b. Each have their good and bad points, each are slightly better and slightly worse against each other in different areas.
However, miles per smiles, I have to say that out of the 5 Imprezas I have owned, the current one wins. Ok, there's been a few mods and the paintwork isn't the best, but at just over 6k for everything including the car, it's fantastic. I haven't even cleaned it and it looks completely standard.

Like the one on the drive, too
Value for money these days, I agree the UK Turbo is a fantastic bit of kit.

It may well be the Best British Subaru, better than a UK2000 possibly i dont know and thats it isnt it, well done great achievement.

Well I'm glad we got that sorted out, why didn't you just say that? God you guys get wound up easily. 
As for the stickers - nah you must have me mistaken for someone else, I'm not the type to dress my car up as something it's not like you have done with your p1 lip spoiler.

I did actually edit it to say lip spoiler, you didn't notice though.
If you are tired why are you still feeding the debate? I wouldn't miss you if you went for a kip.
