About to buy the last WR1
 
Hi. Missed out on the launch of the WR1 due to overseas work.

One's come up, brand new & I'm almost about to hover over the dotted line.

I know the 05 STi model is out with extra bits but the WR1 still seems very good. Peculiar colour though.

What do the WR1 owners out there think? what's ownership like ? Any comparisons to the 05 STi with PPP out there?

Thanks,


Simon

JDM 05 STi
Spec C
T25

Worth considering 1st. But if it is to be a WR1, Consider ??

You sure its not just sales patter?

"Well Sir, its the last one left, you had best be quick, I have plenty of interest....."

LOL the WR1 does not compare to the 05 STi, its leagues apart.

Engine performance is far better on the WR1.

Pop over to see the boys at www.wr1oc.co.uk and speak to them, they are a friendly lot.

I am a WR1 owner, and test drove a sti 05 last week, massive disapointment as i was expecting it to be better than the WR1.

If you want UK its still the WR1, Too the Last ;)

I'd prefer a spec C myself, but certanaly would not say no to a WR1 :)

Brian the Sn@il 24 November 2004 07:43 PM

I have never driven a Spec C so cannot compare to a WR1.

Nevetas 24 November 2004 07:51 PM

Have a go off Tuscan57's when he eventually gets it ;)

LOL !! when !!

Would love to compare the Spec C with my Modded WR1 !

chris's scooby 24 November 2004 08:17 PM

Will he ever get one?!?

chris's scooby 24 November 2004 08:19 PM

Buy the WR1. You won't look back. Lovely head turning car. Pop over to www.wr1oc.co.uk if you'd like.

Go for the WR1 mate, you won't be disappointed. Having pitted my 04 STI against several WR1's not long ago I can safely say I'm impressed. I nearly bought WR1 But decided the colour wasn't to my liking, however when you see one in your rear view mirror coming at you at 100mph it certainly has road presence. :D :D :D
Go to www.wr1oc.co.uk and have a nose around.

why not buy a JDM STI a far better car and alot less money

Budgie 24 November 2004 08:45 PM

hi m8
not knocking the wr1
was tempted myself but lack of funds
just ask yourself why is this one still available
have seen the add on auto trader
make sure it is new

Scratch 24 November 2004 09:51 PM

If I had the cash I'd be racing you to get it....

Seen a few, think the colour is great, they're already fitted with my favourite wheel FF7, and 320PS is a bonus :)

THOMO 24 November 2004 10:01 PM

whats the actual power figures for the wr1 .310 bhp was done at P.E.I thought it was 340 bhp.

terryb 24 November 2004 10:10 PM

I've seen a WR1 give less than 300bhp at PE recently..

chris's scooby 24 November 2004 10:19 PM

Most are about 310-320bhp.

Harry_Boy 24 November 2004 10:24 PM

Is this the one that Triangle are advertising as "The Last WR1"?

Went to traingle a couple of weeks ago, they had wr1 in show room but was being sold as an approved used car with 100 miles on clock

Mmm... Sneaky... :nono:

So, looks like several dealers are laying claim to possessing The Last WR1... :Whatever_

chris's scooby 24 November 2004 10:48 PM

Having read this i've been thinking. Back in May when i ordered mine the salesman told me that was the last non allocated WR1...

Harry_Boy 24 November 2004 11:09 PM

Maybe it's the same one, being driven around all the dealers to see who finally bites....
