As above, My car is an STI, all the features and applied model code. However, the V5 and online car checks states it is a 1990cc Impreza GL??

Is this normal, what has happened??

 

my old sti V2 also is stated as a GL, as most imports are registered wrongly on DVLA database.... i have been told is normal for an import, but its a pain when selling it....

 

My 94 wrx is registered as an 1800 GL! My previous wrx was a 96 wagon and that was also reged as an1800GL! I just wished i could insure it as that

 

Due to "grey import" legislation, Subaru had to declare early STI models as 1.8GL, nothing to worry about

As written in the "You and your Subaru Impreza turbo" book by Haynes

 

mmm , depends on who first reg'd the car in the uk and the cabbages at the dvla pressing the buttons, had various imported scoobs all first reg'd by me and the v5's have come back from anything , saying wr1, sti , gl, 1800 saloon , etc etc , and i had meticulously filled in the reg for them correctly!

 

Reg doc. for mine states it's a 2.5L. It is now so no change

 

Just norify the DVLA in writing if you're worried. Mine says "Subaru" and that's it

 

had the same problem with my 93 wrx was imported as a 2.0l GL. went to my local scooby dealer and they did me a letter for the dvla sayin what the car is, and i also did one tellin them of the situation and in time they changed it for me to wrx. all sorted now........
