Newbie seeks reassurance
I've just traded my Lexus IS200 SE in for a 2002 WRX STi Prodrive, which I'm collecting on Saturday. The thing that's started to worry me is that I've seen several references to this being a less popular car than the standard STi... As far as I can see the only difference between it and a 2004 WRX STi in my local Subaru garage is the 'bug eye' headlights, which I quite like. Is there anything else I should be aware of that could lead to this being a faster depreciating car?
Thanks for any advice/reassurance. Also, is there a way to search the forum? There doesn't seem to be a 'search' button, and I don't want to annoy people with newbie questions like "do you really have to use super unleaded" and "where can I get some STi decals", etc

Welcome . Don't worry mate, I've got a MY02 STi Prodrive. There's plenty of very happy owners. Its a limited edition, only 1,000 made. The headlights are unique to that model. Later Sti's and WRXs have shared the same design.
True, the standard 2001/2 WRX was no picture, but all cars of that year tend to get tainted with the same brush by some on here.
My MY02 STi Prodrive is here: http://markus8581.fotopic.net/c34764.html
Enjoy your new car .

Oh, and I really like those white side indicators on your (very nice looking) car - any chance you could let me know where they can be bought?
Thanks again,
Tom

I was born and bred in Stockton-on-Tees ....... but I think the Bug-Eye is really ugly, but if you like it then thats all that matters.
That model is, after all, very very cheap due to most people hating them ...... was the Lexus a good car to own??
