I tried for months to get an STi V6 Type RA V-Limited, which turned out to be a nightmare experience (not the car - trying to get 1).....

I test drove the UK STi's one after the other - and wasn't stirred by either the car or the UK marketing of it(less bhp - less gadgets e.t.c)......

Then I got in this......





And I was (and still am) gobsmacked. Power delivery is gutwrenching - yet smooth right through the range, the torque is phenomenal, yeah the petrol tank is small, and servicing is not so kind, yet I find the ride ok, and the brakes nearly break your neck they are that good...Big ta to John Felstead and Mellow Yellow for answering all my Q's about the RA - I did try and get one, but in the end I reckon this does everything I need straight out of the box without any mods at all - thats what annoyed me most about my subaru...maybe i'll see you at the Nordschleife
