WREXY

Powerwise they are the same as the euro UK jobbies. They only have some cosmetic differences like red inserts on the seats, no headlight washer, no clock bright switch, no headlight height adjuster, they have a dashboard light dimmer switch, reiforcement bolts on the parcel shelf for baby/child seats, bigger area for a cd/radio player, wrx badge instead of GT or 2000 turbo sticker and thats about it.

Subaru Impreza FAQ

This is a quote from it:-

"1.4 Non UK Impreza models
1.4.1 Australasia
In the UK the 208/214 bhp Impreza is officially known as the Impreza Turbo 2000. In Australia and New Zealand, the same Impreza is known as the WRX. In Europe and other markets (e.g. South America), the model is known as the Impreza GT. Apart from minor regional variations (climate control instead of air-con, cruise control, automatic transmission, special editions, heated seats etc.), the cars are essentially identical: 2.0 Turbo, 208/214 bhp, and a quoted 0-62 mph (100 km/h) time of about 6.2 - 6.4 seconds.

The 280 PS WRX models are also available as official imports in Brunei, Hong Kong and Singapore, and Cyprus. Automatic versions are also available, but only in 250 PS 5 door (wagon) form.

In January 1999 there were 400 STi V coupes officially imported to Australia, in a choice of blue or white. Sold at AU$60k, demand was such that they could be immediately resold at a premium of up to 30%!

In December 1999, the Autralian market was fortunate to receive a further 400 STi models (4 doors) based on the STi VI. Rumours pesisted that this version had been detuned following some blown engines with the pervious STi model, but several independant tests have found the performance of the cars to be virtually identical."
