Another owner here.....

Loving it to bits ! Just had some 18's and fog lights put on. Prob gunna wait about a year before PPP. Its so much better than my 54 Sti (IMO) The ride is more refined, the build quality is so much better, and the biggest difference im finding is how many miles im doing on a tank !! Im getting an extra 90 miles per tank of fuel. Insurance was cheaper too....

It is a love or hate car tho, people do come over and say how nice they think it looks, there is also the people that really dont like lik eit lol. But like i say to them, its my car and i love it !

Had mine 5k miles now...lovin it

Euro import Premium (same spec as 330s minus PPP and badge)

Might go down the PPP..not sure... would rather the Litchfield/PS remap...but ti's the same old warranty issues croping up as per usual.

Great car... better ride than my blob.... infinitley more practical (picked up a new fridge for my wife without having to call my old man).. Still learning the auto diff settings.. and the I drive is perminently on S and S#... i mode is just slightly too lack luster (but great when the wife uses the car)

Definetly very impressed with the 08 Model

Previous was 54 STi with PPP

Agree with rallymad_homer alot of people comment on the look mostly good as well only negative ones were from the owners of older Scooby models

Best MPG so far by the dash readout thing 36.9 mpg

Only decision left to make is

Powerstation or PPP or a trip up to see Andy F

Just read the 22B vs 330S comparison in EVO, sounds like a cracking car the 330S.

Only problem they still point out is the vague steering...........
