If you keep your car for 5 years then the £2k servicing and warranty make it worthwhile. Satnav is a matter of choice and essential in a luxury car which the Impreza isn't. If i could tailor the deal to delete the Satnav or at least not pay for it I'd seriously consider it..but only if I was going to keep it for 5 yrs or more. Good luck...

Subaru Europe / Subaru UK need to reduce their UK retail prices across the board and stop messing around with marketing gimmicks - my opinion ! Personally I'd just go for the cheapest price which I think is Motorpoint for euro import at £14,999 4dr WRX plus about £300 for on the road charges and £350 for cat 1 alarm and locking w/nuts. If the cars are so reliable, then the extra warranty and recovery isn't worth much.

Like you say, it's whether I'd keep the car for 5 years. Can't see it myself.

We then get onto the import or Uk version, I guess that's just a matter of your own opinion.

Thanks for the replies.

Unless you plan on doing a high mileage or keep it for 5 years can't see any real advantage over the EU import. Especially since there are limitations on transferring the warranty and you have to pay an annual subscription for the sat nav and tracker anyway.
