Defected from German to Japanese
 

As the title says I have sold my BMW 530i sport and just yesterday acquired a MY03 WRX PPP in world rally blue. I am very happy indeed and as everyone keeps on going on about, I am not missing the luxuries of the big 5 at all.

I couldn't justify keeping such a cash cow, as the beemer, especially as I wasn't doing any motoway miles. I am not slagging the car off in any way, it just wasn't viable any longer as a city car. I must say that since defecting from owning Japanese cars prior to 2004, I have been hit in the wallet quite a lot with owning a German car.

Since I passed my test over ten years ago I always swore by Japanese due to the reliability and simplicity of the vehicles. Then I went over to the dark side, giving in to temptation. Now, I have returned and am loving every bit of it. The WRX is just amazing in every regard and like everyone in the know says, "You have to drive it to understand what it's all about".

I'll try to post some pics later when I get the camera working.

japanese performnace cars all the way :luxhello:

I made the leap a little while ago, Never looked back.

i made the move from a long time VW fanatic to a newbie classic scooby owner and ive not looked back, havent missed to golf one little bit.

Enjoy the scooby mate;)

About to make the same jump myself in April... CANT WAIT!!!!

Like i used to say, once ya go jap, youll never go back!

I can't imagine a WRX being any better (economy wise) around town..:wonder:
