Thinking of returning to the fold...
Just been recently pondering returning to a scoob after a couple of years away; having had them all from classic to hawkeye (original turbo to STI) i was wondering what the new STI is like.
I've got the blurb from the local dealer but still have some questions.
1. STI + PPP - from the ones I've seen the seats dont look as hard as the MY06 STI - do they keep you firm when giving it some round the twisties ?
2. is the 330S really worth the extra dosh - ok I would expect a real loss in the first year - but then again you would see the same on an S3.
3. Whats the sat nav like - I do a lot in europe so its important that it can find all the ski resorts !
4. Service intervals - I cant find no mention of them anywhere - is it 12K ?
5. The dreaded MPG - ok with the MY06 STI it was - well pretty bad (sub 20 wasnt a problem) I personally only saw a best of 25 (although the wife could get 27). Does the s-I drive make such a difference cruising on the motorway ?
Cheers

New STi 330s Yes!
I own a MY05 STi (love it) but the only problem being, its only worth 10k now!
Its got 333 bhp!
RB320, I like alot but @ 20k is it twice as good ? I no twice as disirable?
Personally the new 330s is something new!
No pillarless doors, **** seats, arrest me spoiler!
The debate becomes RS or STi330s?
Sti for me!
