So i asked the question and then locked myself in a cupboard.
Time alone in the dark is whats needed to think this through.
To clarify had 330s - loved it - but lost it to tax man
But things change and i heard some 'new' Cosworth still available
And dealing at ~40k
The wife suggested i stayed in the cupboard - but overall 'keen' - as long as name on insurance???!!!!
I went and looked at alternatives
I read the reviews, the comments, the thread
And in the end...
I had to have one

It's a car with '*****'

Had the second fill up and squeezed 52 litres in after driving with the light on for 30 plus miles, but it suggests they have a 60 litre tank?
Brake disc covers?? Maybe that explains the above....what are these?
Other than that, have had a few Squirts up to 4k and am so looking forward to when the beast is realised! Had a few people ask about the Cosworth, but it is so stealth what I mean is un recognised), compared to previous scoobys I have owned.

I pick my silver one up on Friday......can't wait! Did you guys have to run it in? I have been told it is a 1000 miles then a oil change with service intervals every 6k.
Also, notice you are a plumber (or a plumber van in the back ground of the picture). Have a look at my compnay www.gassafetyshop.co.uk and give me a call if you need anything, Will sort a fellow CS owner with a discount as there are only 75 of us

Just read through the thread and your profile and realised who you are. I live on Kentwood hill and drive the silver blob wrx. I was telling my mate last week that I had seen you in a wr1 a few weeks back after not seeing your hawk around for a while.
Hope you're enjoying the cs400, you'll have to come along to one of our Sunday meets and give us a look at her

Ran mine very close to empty today (or at least the guage was below the bottom notch) and only sqeezed in just over 53 litres. Not sure what size the tank is but I dont think its 60.

anyway its a lancer ralliart 4wd,turbocharged and dsg gearbox.
i looked at an impreza hatch but the interior and extras are far better on the ralliart.
it has one of the best oem stereos i have ever seen, sat nav,phone and 40 gb hard disc so no need for ipods or cds.
also has excellent leather seats and far better interior.
it is only 250bhp so its not as powerfull but i still have my sti impreza and will never sell it.
0-60 in 5.4 secs and 150ish mph top speed so more than enough for a family car to cart kids and shopping around which is what it was purchased for.

the impreza hatch is hardly a looker is it? but agreed the lancer isnt a looker either but no worse.

It's personal choice really, i personally prefer the interior and exterior styling of the STi Hatch but as a daily hack i ain't knocking your Mitsi.
