It's fine ... done me proud for 10 years now ... only driven by me all that time, since new in May 2000.
It rarely sees anything over 2500RPM - I don't generally see the reason to rev the bollox off them .... sometimes I will take her up the rev range, but she has only hit the rev limiter about twice when accidentally getting caught out in the wrong gear! :lol1: I have not had a car for 10 years, it feels part of me now - I really don't know how I'll feel when I let her go :( But, this new WRX seems to answer what I've been looking for - could be the last car I will ever have .... it needs to be right :D Something else I notice ... they say it will have 265hp ... would that be the same as BHP? If so, it makes the old WRX and the WRX-S pretty poor buys. There are still WRX's and WRX-S's to sell .... how are they going to sell them, then? They will have to be really cheap I'd imagine - the resale losses will be huge. |

As soon as the turbo starts really spinning to build boost you change up. :lol1: Just for the record the reported 265bhp is that measured in the American measurement for power called SAE, or the European and Japanese measurement called PS? :wonder: As the SAE measurement will show more than the PS measurement system, just like the Americans as they always overstate everything. ;) |
Yeah, trade in value all depends what you're buying and for what .... price to change is what I always work on.
And I have a second car ... for the summer days :D I suppose it cannot drop much further in value and I could run it into the ground ... it would probably go on for another 5 years - but, when you get to my advanced years you realise that time is not in your favour. |
So, what would 265hp = in a UK BHP?

I though it was Subaru UK's intension to finish the WRX when the last remaining few have been sold? It will be a 2.0 n/a then straight to the STi.
Originally that was their plan but they ended up bringing the WRX hatch over to bow down to UK pressure, I'm not sure in hindsight it was worth it! |

How much would you expect to get for it on a trade in Pete, if you don't mind me asking?

Depends on whether there is anything off the new one .... it really is the price to change.

£1900 is no money, is it? Considering what it cost me on 5th May 2000 :eek:
