What would be the servicing costs involved with a new WRX over the first two years?

Have they changed the schedule again, MY01/02 was changed to 1 year and 10K, are they now putting it back to 6 months?

You can save money by providing your own oil. Don't pay £3 for a sachet of windscreen wash, when you can buy a whole bottle for that, check brake pads and bulbs yourself so you don't get overcharged.

All depends on mileage. Say 15000/year = two minor + two major services = approx. £500.

Service intervals are 12months or 10k. Many people(but not all) on here advocate an interim oil change at 6months.

Service's are £160 ish, tyres around £90 each, expect them to last between 8-15000 miles. Brakes as mentioned already, tax and insurance!!!

well its gonna be every 12 months or 10k miles(I think now) - if its a brand new car, the first few services will be cheaper from what I remember(not too much to do - change from 200 maybe?), the first nasty one (400 quid ish) Im guessing will come at 30k - but Im guessing this.

It depends how you drive it, but bank on some new front brake pads at about 20k, but if you thrash it sooner and if you motorway it later. And ofcourse tyres, once again depends how you drive it but I guess 15-20K miles a set.
