Although it does have a "E" button and pressed on the "Fly" can instantly change between Performance and economical ECU setting The STi has "SI" drive, "VCD" & DCCD
IMHO
having driven the S-GT a few months back, you'll definately what the 18" package, spring kit and a ECU tweak. certainly more tweakable than previous "WRX's"

Terrible!! Looks like a mongrel crossbreed of all sorts of mediocre cars! The STI might get away with it with widened body but this WRX really is crap. PUNY!!!

Trying to learn a lesson from the introduction of new models in the past, most people don't like change and then it grows on you. However apart from the dash I can't find anything nice to say about the 2008 WRX.
The hawkeye has all the bits that made a STi special a few years ago, like vents in the bumper, twisty side sills, zenons, upside down struts etc.
I wouldn't change my hawkeye for one of those even if Subaru offered me a straight swap.
Does that mean Hawkeye owners can look forward to good residual values ?

Will the "Hot hatch" market that pay £22-25K step up and pay £27-31K and go to top of Tax bracket , as enthusiasts have done, to own a Scooby.

As people have said it depends on performance etc.
I am looking to upgrade from my MkV GTI next year and if the new STI is anything like the old one in performance I will be paying that level of money as it knocks spots off the R32 (which I guess they are competing with).

OMG! Here's hoping that someone from Subaru GB might occasionally pass an eye over our much respected forum.
SUBARU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? THIS LOOKS LIKE AN ABORTION CROSS OF A BMW 1 SERIES AND A KIA CEE'D (? SPELLING?)
I love my MY04 WRX for its looks, performance and just missing the Band G Road tax!
The new "derivative" only has the performance and that's debatable ' cos' the 2.5 sounds sihte, in my humble opinion.
If they thought they had it wrong with the bugeye let's watch these fly off the shelves!
