Hi there,

I used to be a Subaru owner (4yrs ago) but since defected to the other side.....

Anyhow, I am back on the right path now and am looking at getting back to the old faithfull. However, I do not know which model to go for and am looking for your advice.

Do I go for a 2001/2002 WRX or the STI or the STI Prodrive.

I do want the best power and handling that I can afford. Any pitfalls to any of the above cars ? I need 4 doors, so the P1 is out of the question. I have up to around £24k to spend and have seen a number of STI prodrives available. I want a full UK spec car, not a jap spec.

Give me some feedback please.

Many thanks !

Mark.

With that budget I'd order a new EU import STi 2003 Model. They are available for around £23000.

STi(UK)/PPP 2/h, otherwise wait as advised above, and PPP it, providing PPP matched/matchable to Euro imports.
IMHO

Thanks for the replies.

I'd like to spend as little as possible (obviously).

In light of the new STI coming out in the next 2 months, do you expect the current model to drop in price dramatically ?

I don't mind waiting a little while...
