Newbie, few questions!
Hi there, first post so please be gentle! I currently own a Civic Type R but I need something with 4 doors (Little un
) I have always liked Impreza'a and I am very tempted to get an STI.
I would like to know if anyone on here has gone from a CTR to an STI, how many miles on average do you get to a full tank. At the mo in my CTR I am getting 280 ish (K-Pro fitted) to a full tank mainly motorway miles. Reason I ask is because at the moment I am doing approx 1200 miles per month!
Also how regular are the services and what sort of prices are they?
Cheers people!

I went from a 2002 CTR that i purchased new, sold it after 3 years and got myself a 2003 STi PPP.
In the CTR i used to get around 300 miles to a tank. In the STi i get 190-220 after a remap and a few other small mods. be prepared to run it on V Power, with a full tank costing around £48.
Servicing and the cost of parts is a lot more expensive on the STi than the CTR. Be prepared for main dealer prices on consumables if your still under warranty. Example being: Front pads £210 & Rears £170!!
Services are every 10k miles or 12 months. once out of warranty then you can find yourself a good local independent specialist who charge far less, and in my dealings with Mocom do a superb job.
My car recently had it's 50k service @ Cambelt and i got change from £300. Major services are closer to the £400 mark without brakes.
