About to buy the last WR1
Hi. Missed out on the launch of the WR1 due to overseas work.
One's come up, brand new & I'm almost about to hover over the dotted line.
I know the 05 STi model is out with extra bits but the WR1 still seems very good. Peculiar colour though.
What do the WR1 owners out there think? what's ownership like ? Any comparisons to the 05 STi with PPP out there?
Thanks,
Simon

JDM 05 STi

Worth considering 1st. But if it is to be a WR1, Consider ??

LOL the WR1 does not compare to the 05 STi, its leagues apart.
Engine performance is far better on the WR1.
Pop over to see the boys at www.wr1oc.co.uk and speak to them, they are a friendly lot.
I am a WR1 owner, and test drove a sti 05 last week, massive disapointment as i was expecting it to be better than the WR1.
If you want UK its still the WR1, Too the Last

Go for the WR1 mate, you won't be disappointed. Having pitted my 04 STI against several WR1's not long ago I can safely say I'm impressed. I nearly bought WR1 But decided the colour wasn't to my liking, however when you see one in your rear view mirror coming at you at 100mph it certainly has road presence. 
Go to www.wr1oc.co.uk and have a nose around.

If I had the cash I'd be racing you to get it....
Seen a few, think the colour is great, they're already fitted with my favourite wheel FF7, and 320PS is a bonus

So, looks like several dealers are laying claim to possessing The Last WR1...
