I have ordered myself a brand new Impreza WRX (mica blue) with a Sti rear wing.
I have never driven an Impreza before, not even had a test drive.
I ordered it just because of all the stories I've read here and in other forums and in magazines.
It will be delivered around late May begin June.
Can you tell me if I did the right thing and what to expect.

I also saw a aluminium gear frame which i think would look nice, together with a momo gear ****. Could you tell me if these parts are easy to install ?

I am currently driving a Calibra V6 2.5 and a Honda CBR 600 sport.

I drive a classic ,but i can't see you regretting the decision.
Expect massive recurrent smiles and huge fuel bills in that order (once it's run in ) Enjoy (at a guess i'd say fitting would be pretty easy)

I bought mine without a test drive or even passenging in one. It has exceeded my (very high) expectations. Ex 205 GTi pilot.

Enjoy

It will outshine your calibra by a long way, but not your honda LOL!

A bit rash to buy without test drive though, how do you know if all is well mechanically.

Not sure how the two cars' engines will compare. Handling should be way better.

If in any doubt about torque delivery, start saving for PPP...
