Default WR1

I am just about to trade in my 2004 WR1. I have owned it from new May 2004 and it is a lot nicer to drive than my1997 sti, the handling is in a different leage as it should be,and never fails to bring a smile to me. The cost of ownership has been low for a car with this amount of power.I will sadly miss this car and would recommend anyone to buy one who wants a scooby with a difference.

good luck

Best looking impreza ever build, they have come down in value now, but i think they will steady up and will always be worth more than the sti versions

Of course they did cost a few grand more too though

I have a feeling 22b owners may have something to say about the best look impreza ever built too

320ps or 316bhp, personally, if your going to throw that sort of money around, buy a JDM STi and remap it, much better car out the box than a WR1.

You can't be sure what (if anything) you saved until you sell it and compare the depreciation. You are probably also paying a fair bit more for your insurance?

welll believe it or not the insurance is £200+ lower on my 340+bhp sti than it was on my old uk300. As i have mentioned before on a previous thread a-plan rocks when it comes to imports.

as for the price looking at resale values the at the mo i would have lost more on the wr1 though i know each situation varies

On the whole very pleased i bought the car i did - it has noticably better performance over the wr1 and came will all the toys
