Is This True?
Road Tax ... as far as I can understand it:-
My car - a MY00 - is £205 a year, I know because I have just renewed.
An Impreza Turbo registered between 1 March 2001 and 23 March 2006 pay £245.
And, an Impreza Turbo registered after 23 March 2006 pays £425 or £435?
Am I correct in my understanding?
Makes a 56 Plate Impreza Turbo a very expensive beast to run!! That hit year in and year out as the car loses it's value too ...... shocking!

Yep that's right. I SORNed my 56 plate STI when it was in API and while it was off the road the tax went up at the month end from the renewal price of £405 to £435.

I have just got rid of my spec d and got a 1995 wrx, and was paying £435 to do less than 2000 miles a year. Its stupid how road tax is worked out, at work i drive a 3.5 ton transit and do at least 15000 miles a year and work only pay £180 a year.

My Winnebago only cost £195 to tax and that's got a 7.4 litre big block Chevrolet engine!
No logic but I'm not complaining. You'd think they would be encouraging older cars off the road.

When I had a 2006 Hawkeye WRX I was paying £405 per year in road fund licence, and yet some small battered smokey old heap could be paying around £35 per year. 
I think that the government should scrap the RFL and incorporate it into the fuel tax levy, that way the more miles you do the more tax that you pay.
Does anyone else think this is a good idea? Plus of course there would be no need to have VOSA out doing roadside tax disc checks and of course Mr ****** and his untaxed car would then start paying up to boot.

My 56-plate Spec D is now £435 year. Not happy but when you look at it its approx £200 more than I would pay anyway. Made me mad when i saw a double decker bus with a tax disc in the window which showed £450! How much CO2 do they pump out?!
