I reckon those seats will be really uncomfy, youd be better with a pair of blobeye seats, cause its christmas en all, ill do you a straight swap and you wont need to give me any cash on the side.

Thanks all for the positive feedback,

Trinity, I will stick with the uncomfortable ones thanks for the offer though

Definitely looking for a spoiler, only want to get the small boot lip one, anyone got any ideas where I can pick one up? also an upgraded quad exhaust? The car its self is an ex demonstrator so I presume the dealer plonked the PRO-R sticker on the back end, its a standard 296 BHP. Buying experience, all done over the phone chap called Jonathan at parkway dealt with it all, very efficient.

I am like a cat on a hot tin roof, cant wait too pick it up Friday

Very nice, the grown up version of the old hooligan although I prefer the hatch from that era - it just seems to retain some hooliganism about it

Love the interior and front end, never got my head around the rear though, maybe with a new exhaust and spoiler it will change that!

Still a great purchase mate!

Everyone will tell you this but if you ever sell those seats, please research their values. I saw a set sell for over £2500 and went straight to the US!

Cheers gear head, first stop HT autos for the subtle boot lip spoiler, then for the expensive exhaust :-)

Lovely car,

Do these 2.5 engines suffer the same issues as the others?

Pretty sure that they do!!! You would have thought that Subaru would have fixed the headgasket problem!!

Nice car though, colour looks good!!!
