Iain, wishing you a Very happy and Prosperous New Year and at these prices, Subaru have finally put themselves back where they belong at the top, this is a great deal and I might even be tempted back to the fold, have they brought out STRi prices? Cheers

No mention of this model from Subaru UK I'm afraid.
Shame I want one myself.

STi price looks the best as in effect the MY03 replaces the Prodrive version which was £27500. £25k is only 2k more than an EU import

WRX price still about £3500 more than an EU import but a step in the right direction

Cheers,

Ian.

EU import prices are supposed to be on the increase so hopefully the gap will close even more.

Thumbs up

My dealer has just confirmed the prices as well with the SL at 21K.

Has said that they can do march delivery on an STi8

Shame no twin scroll or DCCD though and I have heard no plans for the next couple of years at least

Good if your going to the dealers with cash, not so good if like me you want to chop in. I have asked for price to change from my UK300 PPP, so will let you know. That way we can all compare change prices to see where the best deals are.

Good to see the pricing going in the right direction though. Always thought the Sti7 Prodrive was a bit steep, but so was the UK300 PPP

I think that Subaru has had to rethink it's pricing structure, because as someone said the EVO 8 that has been featured in this weeks Auto Express will come in at an amazing 22 grand

Exclamation

£25k is only 2k more than an EU import
I would still rather live without the 'Type UK' badge and spend 2k on mods

I dont think the gap is £2k. Dealers have been known to discount. For the £1k difference its probably not worth the import hastle.

If the Evo 8 comes out at 22k I'll buy you one!

Evo reckon on 2k less than current, which means about 28k.

I think it was Auto Express claiming 22K for the new Evo. I believe that it is short of all the gadgets whcih are all optional and add to the cost

Still don't want one

Do you have any details on the new warranty structure?

I have heard that its 3 years manufacturer's rather than the old 1 year manufacturer and 2 years provided by Subaru UK.
