A lot of people arn`t a fan of it. But seams a lot of car for not much money. Cant be much out there with 230bhp that you can buy new for 13K.

You should have asked that question before you'd ordered it and we would have all told you the same.

Its....



It can be beaten around a track by a Golf GTi and has a lower top speed than a Diesel Mondeo.

And that's without even touching on the aesthetics of it...

Norman thats not nice
To start with, the golf had more out of the box power than the wrx, really fair comparison... and the diesel mondeo? dunno about that, BUT you wont get either of the above for that money, or will you be able to tune either of the above well over 300bhp without serious effort
So is it vfm, yes, is it everyones taste, no.
Personally i say go for it
