You're an MY00 WRX (Import) . . . I think

 

wow ... timing and response !

 

Dave,

Yep - Checked and rechecked and x-reffed to the sidc table that you have shown.

I'd be well pleased if it turns out to be a 280 WRX as I had thought it was a 215 UK

Bit worried that the Model number is drawing a blank though !!!

 

OK,
check these points out,
1. does it have awd2000 on the back?
2. does it come with air con?
3. does it have aluminium bonnet and boot? (rather than steel)
4. Does it have any english writing anywhere?
5. Does it have a "bright button"?
6. does it have front washers for the lights??


If it has any of the following standard its an import (grey type)
2,3
If it has 1,2(option),4,5&6 then its a uk spec car.

Simple
