Must say that's a lot cheaper than I anticipated, Ithought just underr £30k. Any prediction on the BHP of the Prodrive car? Bob

Nigel H

Good news

Now if they can just get those emissions down a touch

Phil

I am sure Prodrive will announce in time for the Autosport Show

SirFozzalot

Look forward to seeing what Prodrive come up with!

what would scooby do

Subaru's tag line for it "Comfort With Agility" makes it sound like a sanitary towel

That's good bang for ya buck (which is kinda the point of these cars) Would envisage the PPP costing about 2k more if the past is anything to go by! If the rumours of 400bhp are true would think closer to 30k though!

Not bad,you might be able to pick up an EU import for around £21k.

Still the Yanks are paying around $38k,so we're still getting ripped off!

Makes the WRX look very expensive indeed ...............

STILL looks awful. £24.99 would be dear for a Proton lookalike

It will have to be cheap judging by the slating its just had in EVO (not to mention 3* to the old models 5*!)

More like 35-40BHP increase for a sum of approx £1800.

GazTheHat

That's great news. Wander what the EU price will be from the supermarkets??

I think the silver one in that picture lOOks real nice.

mgcvk

Extra Urban mpg 34.4??? Yeah right, watch out for the low flying pigs.

Snazy

Yeah euro prices should be interesting, looks like im getting an STi next time lol

richs2891

If that price is correct it bring its close to the price of an Audi S3, guessing Subaru did that on purpose !

17s and no recaros

iTrader: (1)

Recaro's are optional though?

bmac800

£25k for the base car but by the time you speck it up with the 18 inch alloys and recaros as most would want it will be a fair bit more expensive than the old STI price.The BBS alloys are a £1000 option in the states and japanparts are selling the recaros for £1500 each.

pslewis

No Sat. Nav.???

That's a disgrace in this day ...... penny pinching Subaru!!!!

Paddi70

Whats that in relation to the Focus ST and VXR and Audi S3? Think thats what Subaru are aiming for?

pj748r

Think it comes with 18" wheels as standard,BBS are an option

Marky9074

Its says leather/alcantera as standard, which I took to be the recaros...?

pslewis

It says Bucket Seats as standard ..... Recaro?

Marky9074

Damn....must read all the info.....later it says Recaros are an option

finalzero

I think this will be the first scooby that will require an aftermarket kit just to look good lol

Right - you have 4.8 second 0-60, 300bhp, and 155mph..

What the hell do you lot expect for £25k!?!?!?!

Personally, I think its a damn good price for the car. If you want a house on wheels go buy something else..

I am starting to really like it the more I see it - and as for Sat Nav, I've got my TomTom thanks.. I don't need another one.

6 months ago one magazine predicted the WRX would cost £19995. Subaru UK stated that was dreamland and the price would be £22-£23K.

Going on that basis, the STi would have been £27-£28k.

6 months of bad publicity in all the motoring press and all internet forums later, and now the price has dropped by up to £3000 and is now less than the previous models.

Panic at Subaru UK, I think.

Yep, i agree with you.

It isn't pretty, but i think it'll look must better in the flesh.

Am still waiting to see what the Spec C version will be like.....and will start saving now
