It's a Wrx with ppp, nice car if it's a good price.

What are you looking for? Speed, daily driver etc

I dont know really I used to own a wrx ppp sold it last year wish i never had. I was looking at an sti but in stock its less powerful. Also iam not to sure if i like the brash looks of the sti. I still no a 100% convinced by the 2.5 engine but dont want to go back to something to old in the 2.0l so dont know what to do really HELP. I would not be using it daily as i live where i work so would just be for fun really but still have space for the kids.

I have a GB270. I can't really comment on the difference between them and an Sti as this is the only subaru i've had.

I really enjoy it. I like that it has some power mods without being too loud and i think the styling is just right, not too subtle, not too in your face.

Worth keeping an eye out for the alacantra or leather interior. Also loads kicking about with the Subaru Satnav pack which is great as you should be able to connect your mp3 player to it (cassette decks.... WTF!)

Does the gb270 still have that flat 4 burble or is it lost. Also how much is your insurance if u dont mind me asking.

have you looked at a spec D? if its not your main car then the sti would make a more fun drive?

Well i guess that's quite a tough one. I like the sound. again, not deafening as some of the folk round about me with tunnels for exhausts. but i think it gives a lovely rumble for driving around.

there is a GB270 in Aberdeen with an aftermarket exhaust with had a nice deep rumble.

No point mentioning insurance costs as it all depends where you stay.

Mine almost doubled moving from my folks to my flat (which is 0.7 miles away!!)

have looked at the spec d but not to keen on the leather seats i used to have an sl and did not take to the leather very well i prefer the alcantara personally

I have a gb270, my first scooby, rx8 before. Great car, I believe they also have altered suspension, lower than normal, bilstiens and eisbach springs, I think. A short shift gear linkage, uprated fuel pump, and front splitter. Go for one with the uprated interior, and ice. Its also quite surprising how many dont have the splitter on now!!:luxhello:

You need a Spec D with a JGM re-map - stealthy, fast sleeper:thumb:
