Hi Guys/Gals

Currently having to drive my GX arround (BugEye) while waiting for my 03WRX, damn thing wont go passed 138 on the clock

Never realised 6 weeks would be so long, mine was ordered on the 1st of march. (Pulleyns)

Whats your experience on delivery times, better or worse than quoted?

Oh and this is a company car

Here was my wish list:

03WRX
PPP kit
Prodrive rear wing
6 CD
18" Wheels

Heres what i think im getting: (they wont tell me)

03WRX
PPP kit
Prodrive rear wing
6 CD

Heres what i'll probably end up with:

Justy 1.3

Anyways, when i get the car i may come a few meets

I live in the garforth/aberford area, you may have seen me driving (dark blue, WRX wing, mud coated) (yes thats me you see in the GX sideways )

PS: 1st post

 

My WRX MY03 took 2 weeks to be delivered, although I waited 3 weeks in total due to the fact I wanted to pick it up on the 1st March.

With yours I suppose having the PPP fitted would extend delivery time by a bit, but 6 weeks seems excessive. However, at the time I ordered mine the general feeling was that the origional shipment and therefore availability of the new WRX would thin out around the begining of March due to the massive interest and orders. I'm assuming, if you ordered on the 1st of March and you ordered in WR Blue (most popular colour BTW) then you may have fallen foul of the scenario I've just mentioned.

Tim, Thanks for the reply

Yes its WR Blue, dont like silver cars (available) as they are just 'shinny grey' to me , also the new Black did interest me but i couldnt see it in the flesh so i wasnt going to take a chance.

I would have had the Dark blue again if it was available, but for some reason they dropped it.

Lets just hope its not the same crew bringing the cars through the channel as the BM's

Sounds like the speedo needs to be fixed under warranty. GX has a top speed of 118mph .

 

I ordered my wrx/wrblue 1.2 weeks ago. and was told 2 weeks for delivery. i'm already pulling my hair out but hoping to be able to collect this Saturday. Fingers crossed.

chris,

Tacho needs fixing too then (6000 @ 138)

Simon

 

St,

Waiting 1.2 weeks eh, ive been waiting 2.470238 weeks (17 days 1hr )

Simon

 

I would keep the GX as the WRX only does 144mph , must be better on fuel and insurance as well.

 

OOops... Mine's a shinny grey one! Boo hooo, snif, snif

Chris,

GX gets to 125 quite comfortably, just has to creep up from there (in fact i have to lift slightly to get it to creep up there)

Only ever done it 3 times, im not a car destroyer.

Simon

PS, off to work out gearing of WRX @ 7000

 

ST,

Give us a shout on this thread if you do get it saturday, gives me ammunition.

Simon

 

Tim,

Did you choose to have silver?

Im not totally abord by silver but i do think the value of silver cars will not be good in 3yrs or so, as there are so many Yr01/02/03 cars that are now silver (all manufacturers)

Simon

 

To an extent I agree with you. However, silver will always remain a classic colour and I think it suits the lines of the new WRX. Premium Silver from Subaru is in my opinion one of the nicer shades of silver.

Like you my decision was somewhat forced due to the fact that Subaru in their wisdom dropped the dark blue mica from the WRX range. Again, like you I hadn't seen the car in black and now that I have I think it doesn't show the subtle lines of the new WRX very well. Red & White for that matter - well what can I say that's positive about them, that forest type green... nice but haven't seen the WRX in it (green is an unlucky colour. Now onto WR Blue, I think it suits the new WRX and Subaru as a manufacturer, but, and I mean this with all due respect (again, it's only my opinion), whenever I see it on a WRX I see it as a wanna be STI.

Tim,

Pretty much the same sentiment from me about the WR Blue, here is my rational for choosing it:

1 - Red - Reject as im over the age of 18
2 - White - Reject as in under the age of 50
3 - Green - Reject as its the colour green
4 - Sliver - Reject (see previous 'Shinny grey' comment )
5 - Black - Reject as couldnt see an example (and worth 7 in police snooker)
6 - WR Blue - Accept as only choice remaining

Simon

 

Red = best for classic apart from blue
Silver = best on bugeye and 03 apart from blue
All other colours ok if they're on a scoob.

 

BlueSimon, was confirmed yesterday and double checked this morning. My wr/blue wrx has arrived, is having it's pdi etc... and will be mine on Saturday. get on to your dealer and give em sh*t.

ST.
