GB270 - advice please!
Hi all
After having owned several Imprezas in the past, I then moved over to a Ford Focus ST2, to which I had the Ford approved Mountune power pack fitted.
However, as good as the Focus is, I am finding myself being drawn to another Impreza, particularly the GB270. Funds will not allow me to add much to the the money that I could sell ST for, so I would appreciate you knowledge and experience regarding the availability and value of these cars. I have seen one on ebay for £15k, but I am sure that it will be sold by the time that I sell mine!
Also does anyone know if the steering wheel size & thickness and seats differ to the 2003 WRX that I used to have?
Cheers!

The steering wheel and seats are totally different to your old WRX. The steering wheel isnt as big for a start!. The seats in the GB are nice. For the same money tho' you could go for an MY06 STi, which in my opinion is a better bet.

if i were to get a wagon i'd get the Gb270 one it looks better than the saloon one imo. If you can pm Peter Bugden on here his missus has one he could let you know more.

the wagon is a nice car
with all the extras, very well kitted out too
took mine to alton towers and averaged 29mpg
road tax is £400 but the norm lately
plenty of torque
prodrive springs make for a decent ride also
any more info let me know

Thanks for the replies, I had almost forgotten how friendly this forum was!
My last Impreza was a 2003 WRX PPP with Prodrive springs and 330mm brakes. I actually preferred the characteristics of the car over the STi, and that is why I am drawn to the GB270.
Looking at the figures, I don't think that the sale of the ST will generate enough to fund a GB270. Will need to save my pennies for a while I think.
Cheers
