Oh yeah,and the choice between a PROPER,limited edition uk made car for uk roads which will eventually become a collectors car,or a jap spec DCCD car that only proffesional drivers could really take full advantage of,anyone else can honestly only grab the bragging rights.

Its a very easy choice.Tell your friends you have DCCD,or tell your friend you have a rare car,which in your hands can do everything a cheap jap import can do,including not stop in the snow

The choice is yours

P1 EVERY TIME,QUALITY OVER QUANTITY

you've missed the point I think........ A modded P1 is nothing more more than a Modded Type-R.... the name means dick all once you take the suspension off of a P1, you are simply paying a premium for a car with a different body kit and less toys!

But I'd still go for a P1 because it's pretty and I loved mine LOL

NO,the point being,WHY would you take the perfectly honed suspension off a P1,when Prodrive(THE EXPERTS),spents months gettting it perfect for UK roads????

My main point being,everyone is raving on about DCCD,which in real life would be an advantage to about,1% of normal drivers,your average Scooby driver would,nt have the faintest idea what to do with it,its just a gadget that can turn it into either an M3 or an S2000,whereas a P1 is good to go for the average UK driver,the best of all worlds,thats why it was made!!!!!

both cars have their purpose and place in the Subaru family as the best Imprezas ever produced.

bickering about it is just putting brass tacks up yer ****!

No it wasn't (for the thousandth time).

I've got that book too Bonesetter. They were wrong to call it a P1 WR. It's just a P1 with all the options. Like I said pages ago, the media just called it that. An 'unofficial' name if you like.
