Hi,

Looking at some WRX's and STI here in Ireland as soon as I can get rid of my Laguna.

Current lists are like this:

My limit is around €20 000 give or take. I really like the wagon shape for various reasons. Looking at something that will be reasonbly reliable (id rather go for a slightly slower bug eye than a STI if needed) and something that will suit local and longer travelling.

THere are some 95-2000 versiosn that meet the price range - what to avoid - what to look at?

Thanks !!!

 

I see the board is fairly active - dont mind if i bump this?

 

Hi Chaz

Have a look at this to give you some idea of make and model differences, etc. It is well written and researched.

I am sure someone will add to this thread with good advice.

All the best

Thanks - I did have a quick read of that.

Just curious if there are certain versions that are best avoided due to fuel issues (we used to have this in South Africa) - or some that are more sought after.
I am looking for something that is fairly refined, without it loosing its 'scooby' appeal. I test drove a few bugeyes in SA before I came to ireland and was fairly happy with the car (turbo lag wasnt too great). Recently looked at a few beemers - still looking around.

It doesnt have to be a quarter mile demon, seems like the RA is already out due to the low gearing. Some of the STI versions look good - some info seems to suggest issues with version 4 / 5? Things like that ...

Thansk once again.
