Hi Steve

Yes import only - Shame coz they are a great car. I used to have a MY97 for a couple of year. Fantasic car, but with 2 kids wanted somthing bigger. Spent a year in a Toyota Aristo ( GS300 with 350Bhp) went like stink, but I missed the ability to go round corners fast in wet or dry !!!. Hence why the B4 is an ideal car for me. I also like the almost bland looks, mixed in with fast speed. The ultimate Q car ??

certainly nota car that really stands outwhich is prob a good thing !

wots its bhp /torque ?

how does it handle compared to the scoob you had ?

good price ?

steve

 

Power is rated as 280Bhp , can't remember torque.

Handling feels more balanced than UK impreza. Very very neutral handling under power, not the under steer that I used to get in the scooby. The back does go very ligth if lift off/brake mid corner. The launch is very difficult to get right. the torque is split 50:50, so no slip at front al la Scooby. If you rev to 5000 rpm and side step the car does an initial launch then the traction control steps in and cuts the power !!. All you can do is a big clutch slip.

On the motorway the rid is less fidegty due to extra 200kg and longer wheel base.

Cost new with Leather option £24,950, with a twin electric tow bar fitted (jetski, not caravan !!!)

hi jon

nice price. got lots of kit as standard no doubt. what will residuals be like on it ?

insurance ok ?

i'm planning on an evo vii or maybe a vi, hopfully in a few months.

not sure if to go import route or not ? still at least mitsubishi are a bit more enlightened than subaru and will service imports without a problem.
