Hi There.
I'm interested in buying an Impreza Hatch c2010.....
I've read about the problems of the Sti engine so I'm looking at the WRX in order to stay safe.
I've come across a WRS 'S' version.
My question is; are these models based on an uprated WRX's or, based on the more fragile Sti's ?
Thanks

 

WRX S is a Prodrive limited run based on the WRX 2.5 Hatch, still retains the 2.5 engine but not as troublesome as its STI sister car.

 

Thanks.
Sounds like a safer bet then!

 

Found a nice low mileage, 1 owner Hatch WRX.
Drove well.....rather different to my 03 Wagon on BC's !


Going to test drive a Seat Cupra tomorrow...which is the alternative motor.


PX-ing our SMax TDi....so either should be more fun!


Decisions decisions !

 

Sorted.....the Hatch wins!
The Cupra was noisy & not as composed on the road.
Now become a 2 Scoob family!
