Thinking of a 330S

Do we know??
I have read several bits on the net and it states that they have Prodrive springs on the 330s
I`m a little confused??
Cheers.
Trying one today for 24hours so will post an honest write up.
Not that it will help I`m sure LOL

You're lucky I can't even get a test drive down here as the nearest one is 170 miles away. Which dealer is letting you have it for 24 hours, may be worth a weekend away for?

as arron says just call dealers ... plenty out there that will offer for 24hrs if you are known and have purchased cars from subaru on a regular basis, i.e. you aren't a tyre kicker (not saying that you are obviousely.)
What you think arron? when I test drove I had the 08Hatch with just ppp and really couldn't feel any difference to warrant a change. have it in the colour combo you like (white on black 18inch prodrive rims.) Seats were lovely though, shame you can't buy them separately.

I have no experience with Subarus since my WR1.
Its a lot better than that in all areas.
No Range Rover Sport but thats not why I`m buying it.
I want to have a bit of fun again do a few track days and stuff.
Will have to get the in car stuff done as I think the stereo is crap and will probably end up with full Type 20 suspension set up in a while or so but as a standard car its good.
Managed 7 MPG the other night and 23.5 later on ;-))

I take it you know already about pushing and holding the traction control button down ... things get very interesting on track when you do that

I agree that it is better than the WR1 ... I still think the '1' looks better but pretty much just because of the colour. Lol good effort with the 7mpg ... I think I got it down to 9 off track but have never seen anything above 25. Not sure I ever would want to see above 25 though as it would mean I was driving miss daisy

what did you think of the 330s though Martin? For the money it's a hell of a car ... no? Understand the point about the kiddies but worries aside would you be tempted??

i thought the 330 was a nice car but needed a bit more power suspension tweaks etc seats were lovely as well but too much for a "hatchback" when same money would buy me 2.1 stroker murtaya with near 400bhp,if it had been a saloon i would have traded in there and then lol.i also have an alfa147 as my practical work car so did not fancy running 2 hatchbacks so kept my scooby and got murtaya

Look at what colour it's on when you're pulling the car out of a hedge - whatever colour it's on then represents 'off'! 
Alternatively, check the manual!
