According to www.subaru.co.uk it has 3 rear ELR seat belts. Now if I knew what ELR stood for it may answer your question.

Tom,

Have to say I have only done 200 miles so far and of course I haven't exceeded the recommended 5k revs but it is feckin fabulous.

All the road test reports that I read before getting it are spot on.

It's heaps more civilised than the older model, seems marginally quicker in a straight line than a previous std turbo (but I haven't given it the full large yet) but when it comes to the twisty bits its a revelation. I read one report that said if it starts to understeer then give it more lock and hang on in there till the diff does its work. Now this takes a leap of faith whilst heading towards a ditch rapidly but hold on..... it worked !!!!

It is a major step foward compared to my old turbo but I guess other owners of P1's, old STi's etc won't agree.

Bet you cant wait till you get yours.

ps
Don't worry I have no intention of making a claim in the near future !
