Default Is the new STi growing on you ?

Just been on Subaru UK site and the 360 degree 3D view looked pretty good ! Was n't sure at first and still have n't seen one in the flesh so will reserve judgement. Had an 02 WRX from new and think an STI with 60hp more+158mph+DCCD+brembo+6gears+xenon lights+alacantra seats should be worth the extra £18000, anybody agree ?

after looking at the new spec c in the flesh very much so. Though you could get a help of an upgrade a lot cheeper just by looking at a 04 jdm sti

I was at Powerstation today and "spec-cie" was there in a 1 year old Spec C and it looked superb, absolutely the mutts nuts.

He was getting 330bhp standard and had his 1 year service at PS today (+ a new boost control solenoid acctuator and new filter?) and left with it running 337bhp.

If I was spending that sort of money I'd go for the Spec C, definately.

Exactly! I was in the local dealers today and they had the 06 model parked out the back right next to a Seat. The grill and bonnet looked almost identical (apart from the scoop obviously!)

I thought it was only me that thought they lOOk like a seat. And what's with the funny lOOking upper rear spoiler. I'm sure you get used to them, just like the bug eyed ones.
