Does anybody no when the Prodrive version of the STi WRX is arriving in the UK.
I have one on order, and no one can tell me when it's due.

If you ring Subaru UK on 0121 522 2000, then they should be able to inform you.

I have heard that cars are being issued to deals roughly in sequence with when the customer orders were placed.

One chap I know who ordered one phoned up, and was told he was one of the first on their list (he did order on the morning of the press release), and they could even tell him within a couple of hours when he places his order!

I understand the first batch of Prodrive cars are being despatched this week, and should be in the dealers this weekend or next week some time.

Just rang them.
Apparently all scoobies came in on Christmas day on three ships.
Last ship had the Prodrive editions hence got through customs last.
Now in process of having alarms and trackers fitted at a rate of approx. 15 a day.
WOW how many have been ordered!
Then they are being dispatched to dealers in the rate of 1st ordered 1st delivered.
I have been told to expect it towards end of Feb.

you lucky barsteward.
Let us know what it's like when you eventually get it. It's on my top 5 list when I come to change my car later this year.

It came at right time, Always change my cars before warranty expires.
Didn't know what to change to as I didn't really like the look of the new Scooby, but the 6 speed box etc drew my attention to it.

Cool

Just rang them too. Mine was allocated this morning and should be with the dealer within 2-3 weeks

Better start investigating those insurance quotes...

Order mine about 3 weeks ago so hope fully not long after yours.
Best quote I got was from Schofields under the insurance area.
My other half is a little older than me and he suggested putting her down as a named driver, brought insurance DOWN by 80 quid.
Recommend them.
