Red face I need to upgrade my Scooby...

Sorry if you're thinking, 'oh no, not another boring thread...', but I am really confused. I have an DBM UK MY00 with PPP, quickshift and 17" OZ P1 alloys. I have been wanting to update the car for a while and it now looks like I'll have the cash to do so. It's a simple as this - I want another Scooby so which one do I go for?

- WR1
- STi Type UK 2004 (cheap as chips at the moment)
- STi Type UK 2005
- Import STi
- Talk to Mr Litchfield

It's got to have:

- four doors
- a warranty
- similar performance to my MY00 + PPP

What would you go for at the moment? My gut is telling me to wait for an MY05 STi but you can pick up an MY04 STi for a great price at the moment...

Also, I am going to consider insurance this time as well. I have been quoted £755 fully comp, protected no-claims on a £30K WR1 in London! I am currently paying £950 for my £9K MY00+PPP????!!!! What the f*ck is that all about? The WR1 has a f*cking PPP!

Help!

Thanks for the replies, but...

- Porsche - it's going to be my only car and I've got a 3 month old baby so I need four doors!

- Type 25 - I could probably afford one of these but I wouldn't be happy with the one year warranty or the ridiculous insurance...

I would go for a WR-1 but the MY05 STi handling reviews are outstanding...

I'd test drive both to be honest and that should make up your mind.

The WR1 will be cheaper to insure than a Sti PPP.

If you have any questions about the WR1, you're best to visit www.wr1oc.co.uk
