Talking Our new STI2005

Purchased from Iain Litchfields, collected her last Thursday! Good service from Litchfields (www.litchfieldimports.co.uk) and chuffed to bits with the car.

All completely standard so far

Compared to the 03 model, - the seats offer much better support and the handling seems in a different league, not had much chance to play with the DCCD yet though. The interior is a definate improvement. The engine seems slightly more punchy than the 03 model STI, for some reason.

Very nice (Another vote for black as the coolest colour too!)

I like the seats in the '05 car too - although apart from the change in black fabric I can't figure out what (if anything) they've changed since '03. Any ideas?

Gorgeous, those headlights will need a de-tango at some point though.

Interior, the dials. Exterior, the suspension geometry, more caster and a wider stance, less unsprung weight by way of aluminium parts and inverted dampers, drivetrain has DCCD as std (at least here in Oz).


i wish I had one

It's good to see someone else going for a Scoob not in WR Blue.

yep, had 2 blue Imprezas so had to go for something else and disliking the WR1's colour, decided on a 2005 in black....although its already proving a pain in the rse to keep clean!

Finished the car with its first Swissol treatment today - looks stunning!

There's nothing wrong with the WR1 colour!
