My commute has changed and facing 40,000 miles a year I have no alternative but to move on my JDM STi 9. Can anyone suggest a dealer who would do a swap polus dosh for a lowish mileage bo standard UK Turbo. I don't even mind having a wagon!

 

40,000 a year, and still planning to keep a scoob. I would've thought it was TDi-time.

 

I agree..........i think it's oil burner time!

 

possible change of career

 

if you spend time on a motorway then your gonna get 25ish mpg from ya jdm sti? a uk turbo may get ya 30 if ya lucky. its just not worth it

 

 

I'll do you a straight swap for my 52 plated WRX ??

On a run i can see more than 300 to the tank

 

I agree with the rest, TDi time. A WRX will still sting you bad in petrol, not to mention the cost of additional servicing, at 40K a year.

 

Sell your STi priavtely - cut out the middle man - and buy this for £5400

Does 30mpg on the motorway (assuming you're steady) but still brings a smile to your face at weekends

 

You won't have any probs with the wagon, goes as well as the saloon, takes most of the same mods, and looks more low key so you get less hassle. probs are with finding wheels that fit, and finding bodywork mods. Mechanically though it's the same as the saloon, more practical too

My wagon came with wheels as standard so no problems .....
