2003 WRX STI Running Costs
Chaps
thinking of buying a 03 registered WRX STI Type UK, just wanted to know what the running costs are going to be like, as I only previously owned a Turbo 2000 1998.
Any figures for petrol, tyre wear, brake wear , etc would be very welcome.

thats heavy fuel use
80p a litre = 3.63 a gallon
44 / 3.63 = 12.11 gallons foer £44
200 for 12.11 gallons = 16.5mpg
250 for 12.11 gallons = 20.6mpg
so between 16.5mpg and 20.6 mpg

my 1st set of Toyo tyres lasted about 11k, 110 quid a corner
fuel: about 220 miles on 40 quid
front pads (OEM) are about 250 quid... I went for EBC reds at half that price

With a good mix of sensible driving you will get 20 to 25 but it easy to drop below 20 if you want to play.

I posted this last week on another thread.
Some interesting statistics for you.
Got the car 25/03/03
I have used 7526 litres,
at a cost of £6256.96 
I have travelled 32817 miles
.
So that an average cost of 19p per mile, just for fuel
An average MPG of 19.82
Oh yes, onto (original Bridgstones, Goodyear F1 finished of on a trackday, Goodyear FI again, Toyo T1-S, currently Toyo T1-R) fifth set of tyres
So what does all this mean.
