Top Spec STi will be £27,999 and then maybe another 3-5k ontop for a few choice mods and then keep going if you are going for big power. The WRX model with come in at around £24k but looks pants. STi the only model to go for in this shape. Special editions are sure to follow so might be worth a wait for something choice.

Service intervals will be at around 6000 mile intervals.

Morning all, forgive me for not posting last night but having just got back off a long haul flight thought I would wait till this morning to post

Now Gangsta can you please share with us all about your trip to Japan and Fuji Heavy Industries?

We are keen to know how you spied the 08 beasty in the flesh as the last time I checked with a close friend of mine at Pro-Drive (like yesterday) he assured me that there is not one of these in the UK just yet.

Or is this like that other post of yours when you said you were going to buy something "Italian and Red" and bought a red Fiat Panda?

As I recall we never had a cross word ever. I may point out the odd indescretion of a certain individual from time to time but harmless fun none the less

The information I've been reading in the press is that the WRX will be released at £19,999 to compete with the other hot hatches.

god that wrx is minging! looks like a daewoo has colided with the cheap section in halfords. when you look at that compared to the sti, the sti looks stunning. and that's saying something! still not 100% on the hatchback shape. aspects of it i like. still won't be a problem for me as i can;t afford to go and order one.

Problem I have is the STI is probably going to be over my budget, I replace my car every 3 years and have had 3 WRX's in a row, as everyone else has said, the WRX looks ****e.

What else can you get new for around 20k as good as a WRX?
