Hi All,
I've spent years considering an impreza and finally after months of looking found my dream machine, a uk Bug-eye STi. I f**king love it !!
I think I have a hole in my fuel tank though as I seem to be spending lots of time in the shell station ??

It's a known problem with STi's.

Two ways to sort that out, take it back to the dealer and swap it for a WRX, or then take it to one of the many tuners and they'll make it even bigger!
