SirFozzalot,

I was told that too, although there is no auto spray button per-say, i lead to believe by "the dealer" that indeed it is an auto spray, the button is for manual overide.

But i aint going into a debate until i'v read the manual.

give me 5min, i'll have a look!

Hi trev,

You would have to drive one to find the differance, and there is.

the wrx ppp is a tool and a good one.
the sti ppp is a weapon and a f*cking good one.

Two very differant cars, i know that sounds daft but it's true.
Go for a test drive, until then you wont be convinced.

the wrx ppp is one of the best cars i'v ever had, but the new one just got better.

Had to travel a bit to get the right deal, the place where i got the car insulted me with there offer, the best offer was £1200 better than the worst.

so look hard and phone as many dealers as you can.

£18600 px with 12k on the clock

Its hard to review on such a short outing brun, but from what i can tell, looks good, as the rev counter hits the 4k mark, the surge of power is awsome, having to back of straight away ofcource.

The whole drive is differant, better seats, brakes, steering is sharper, rumble is rumbler (lol).

Discoverd a rev light and beep, and auto water spray, which i was told by scobynetters wasent on the car!

R6 CDW - can I ask you how you're running it in? Running it in hard or as the manual intends?

Check out a recent thread (cant search as have cookies disabled at work) which had a link to a site advising the best way is to drive it hard for 20 or so miles then get the oil changed immediatley.

Would be interested to know, not that I will be able to afford a new car just yet!

Question

Auto Water spray? I was told (as were others by the sounds of it) that it was strictly a manual spray!

Do a search for the thread I refer to as it makes bloody interesting reading - apparently to get a good piston seal or something it needs to driven hard for the first 20 miles. Although I'm guessing that you've probably done far more than 20 already!
