YES YES YES YEEEEEESSSSS.

I was never one for getting too excited but it is THE best car i have ever had and cannot see myself changing EVER.

Everytime i open the garage doors to bring her out to play at the weekend she makes me smile,(and my wife has that effect on me also,well sometimes,well she did once)

Simon , not considered the JDM Sti 8? More toys to play with and will dance rings round the UK cars. Get it mapped for UK fuel and still have some change....... just my opinon of course, sorry to all the UK Sti boys I'd be happy with either but you gotta admit the DCCD is tempting LOL.

Sti8 is a good car, .....but.....I may be in the minority as I got bored with mine after 6 months and sold it at 7 months. Then again as some may point out that's just me.


If it's peformance your looking for then an '04 PPP WRX is the best way for bang for buck, working out at about 3-4k less than a stock Sti, with nearly the same HP.

Simon,

Changed my UK300 to MY04 STi UK at the end of April, never regreted it once. Great car!

Only downside..........now started annoying my wife about PPP!!!

Changed my Bugeye to STi8 Nov last year. Very pleased that I did it.

Just be prepared to visit the filling station more often though!
