Question Who's was this then?

Well well,

Whenever one comes along, there's always another!!

Just seen this for sale on the A127 fore court.

The plate states it's from Chelmsford. I would of thought the previous owner must of been or is a member on here??

Anyone know the car?

Is it worth me investigating before I pay for the WRX.

thats a nice looking blobeye sti mate and a good base car to start off with your best bet is to take both out for a test drive and then go buy the sti as im sure you will be blown away by the performance.

Pretty sure that was Kemmer's plate, his WRX looked very similar to that, same wheels & spoiler, sure it's an STi and not a WRX looky likey??

Saying that, from the picture, the seats look blue like an STi so perhaps that plate has changed cars?!?!

Take both out for the test drive. I did exactly that when I was looking. I drove the WRX first and thought it was pretty good. On paper the stats for both are pretty similar, but then I took the STi out. Bought it there and then and have had it 3 years now and not needed to mod it at all as it is good enough as it is!

Not the quickest of learners though were you? How many scoobs have you owned?

Footballer - Personally I would go for the STi

I too would go for the STi, after all I have had most variations and as a standard car the STi will always give you want you need.

just remember the sti comes with that all important 6 speed..

When you start modding.. and you will. its the five speed on the WRX as well as other bits on the wrx that will limit what you can do.

sti has all the bells and whistles. wish i started with one..
