anybody know about swrt edition
hi all i went to look at a car over weekend ive had a my03 wrx for 2 weeks but saw this and thought that looked nice and its a my05 with 7k on the clock
differences was -sti spoiler front fog covers swrt blue interior but ive never heard of this edition before anybody know if these cars are as good as a wrx i know it is a wrx but will it hold its value better than a wrx also what price where these brand new compared to a wrx thanks guys and girls :thumb: |
Certainly not an offical model as far as i know.
|
ive look on insurances and i cannot find it on the list i wonder if these are only imports
heres 1 on pistonheads David Hendry Cars : WRX SWRT Limited Edition if anyone can help as i dont want to buy an import thanks phil |
looks like a uk300. Not an import if it is but i have had very bad customer experiences from said dealer:nono:
Out of interest why not an import? Don't be put of by insurance etc its a myth. |
nothing against imports ive had imports before i love them to be honest but this time im settling for a uk car :)
|
Looks like an import to me ... WRX V Ltd? Mine has similar seats & is a JDM Spec C WR Ltd:

There was definately a SWRT spedial edition, not sure if it was called that in this country, but they were released in Europe under that name.

Hi what you are looking at is a euro spec car.
I've got one, it was imported from Malta by Ian Litchfield. The car is same as a WRX 300 and as it is a euro spec car all the bits are the same as a uk car so no big suprises on parts from you dealer. Only one slight difference the service times are different 5K instead of 7.5. As for the STI spoiler i've got that aswell it was a £500 option including sat nav, bargain the spoiler is £800 plus paint and fitting in the UK and the sat nav was £1800. If you want to know more please ask. Simon. |
I bought one from Allbrandsnew in July '05,brand new.
Only one slight difference the service times are different 5K instead of 7.5. Pete |
Hi my service book is in 5k intervals, but as you say it's down to climate, i'm not that bothered about it because an oil change is a lot cheaper than an engine or a turbo.
Cheers Simon. |
Just a thought how many of these are there? when i had mine from Litchfields i was told that there were 15 in Malta and Ian had imported 5 of those, the car was also available in Cyprus so no doubt some came from there.
So any other takers? Cheers Simon. |

If you want to know more please ask. Simon. I thought that the SWRT come with high level spoiler anyway...maybe not. WRX300 comes with PPP as standard, EDM SWRT Limited edition does not. And I believe your seat has the 'lump'? WRX300 does not come with Sat Nav |
Though I see that Iain offered PPP as an option.....but it was not 'standard' as it was on the WRX300
|
Hi Marky as i said before the spoiler and sat nav were a £500 upgrade.
As for the lump in the seat do you mean the black bit at the front in the middle? And i have PPP fitted, cost £1900 and fitted at 1K with first service. Cheers Simon. |

The number plate is now registered to a 2007 Legacy.
The SWRT have come up before and I am sure they were imported versions of the WRX300. |

Here is Patkins....he bought his SWRT Limited Edition at exactly the same time I got my WRX300... |
Nothing special about them really, better off with an SL version of the WRX with leather seats and pay £75 for the matching fogs from a dealer.
Good find Mark, you are right about the STi spoiler aswell I remember that being contested in the last thread. Not an 'official' model as far as my usual point of reference goes. www.Subaru-Impreza.de - Special Editions of the Impreza Turbo worldwide - P1 - 22B - WR1 - Prodrive Style - Electra One - S201 - S202 - S203 - S204 - S205 |
