Default WRX Bashing

Hello all,
If like me you own the apparantly slower than slow new age WRX that's uglier than a bus and can be out dragged by lilly savage and everyone/thing else out there, I've found the car I'm chopping in for, faster, more suave and a convertable, what more can we WRX owners ask for?

EVERYONE, THE WRX REPLACEMENT IS HERE!!!

Now will everyone else leave us alone!

Do they do a diesel, as most diesels are good enough to stuff a WRX too

Be careful buying one. You'll need to have advance driving experience to cope with the power

Thumbs up

Maybe I should trade in now ......

I don't get the WRX bashing, I had a Volvo S60 before the impreza, it was remapped and putting out 285 ponies and 360ft/llbs torque. Some toys inside it I must admit to missing, but as a complete package my MY03 WRX knocks spots off it, and even delivers better mpg. That said, first 2 weeks of scooby ownership, maybe the rose tinted spex are in place .... all I know is I keep finding excuses to go and drive it.

Alwong, you're absolutely correct, I've done some digging round and read the following about the beasts, I quote.........

"this provided a much lighter design and with only 13.5 hp as much weight as possible was needed to be shaved off to get the tiny car up to the top speed of 85 km/h."

so they do an RA as well, there's something for the classic owners too!

Nice website and business must be picking up for the classic car investment market ....£50k for the 22B anyone?

They seem to have the world's only LHD Mclaren F1 GTR as well.
