We'll folks.

How many on here own a 330S

I've nearly bought, final deal not quite agreed with dealer yet, but its 95% done.

It will be dark grey

Is it a daily driver (mine will be)
Who's had problems.
Seats for example seem to be getting a bit of a bad name

Cheers,

Get the deal done and start having some fun!

We've had ours nearly a year, daily driver and no problems whatsoever.

Enjoy

The engines dont have a brilliant reputation for reliability, do they?

8500 miles, seats are fine, was a bit worried when I saw the pics of Scooby L's mind you

Perhaps not

But...............

We don't know how they been driven, what fuel has been used etc

I was reading on here one particular 330S that was driven by MD of dealer, was only ever run on normal unleaded

And from what I read or can understand that its mainly 08 cars with a few 09 exceptions

For me personally I could get a premium spec EU model and it would be approx 4K less than what its costing me to change to the 330S

However that does not and can't have a warranted PPP which I feel is important for all STI's performance
It wouldn't have locking nuts, tracker, alarm etc
So I assume those extra things including say the PPP would be 2.5K alone and doesn't have the exclusivity in my opinion of the 330S

No more owners?

Only 1?

I think you'll find that most who are willing to shell out the extra for the 330s, actually plump for the JDM and either mod it or just buy a T20.

Possibly yes.
But I'm sure there are more owners on here and from what I can gather from talking to someone they're very nearly all sold.

Ignore the haters and those who say it is not a 'proper' STI...it's a great car, running 366bhp on mine with supporting handling mods (everything Whiteline do, AST coilovers etc.) and braking mods...since I got the problem sorted (engine reliability issues were due to poor factory ecu map) I have done 30K miles running 350bhp+ on the standard engine with no problems

Have to say I would not really bother with a 330S myself as an aftermarket exhaust system, air filter and bespoke re-map are cheaper and get better results. However, easier with the warranty if you go with Prodrive and I have driven a 330S and thought it was very good

Come and say hello to the other hatch owners on here over on here mate:

I'd guess the dealers are telling people they are very neraly sold out, how much truth is behind that I'm not sure.

This wasn't a dealer, but funnily enough the dealer I'm using made comments that there's a limited supply of colours left.

SPG

It is true, it's dealer stock left only. The 330s was only a limited run.

I assume they are not continuing due to being about to launch the STi Cosworth.
