Default whoo hoo its here!

Whoo hoo, I have just helped the delivery driver unload the STi off the back of his lorry....

So it is now on the drive, looking very shiny and clean. Am now going to pop out for a quick spin and see if it is what I hoped for.

Well first impressions compared to my old car (which went this morning):

- much lighter
- much more 'pointy' feels more like my wifes mini!
- brakes are good but need a good firm press
- not as fast through the gears as the old car
- somewhat unbelievable grip in the corners
- seats take a lot of adjusting, but now they are just right, they are very comfortable
- no rattles what so ever, quality is ok but is clearly an area of cost saving
- I think it looks fantastic and even the gold wheels are growing on me

All in all, I like it a lot

I think the Hawkeye STIs are awesome. Very good choice of car there.

My last car was an E60 M5!

So 507 bhp with electronic and adjustable everything..... Quite a difference.

Once she's running 400 bhp you'll be amazed... that you'll need even better brakes, roll out the card and start spending

Enjoy !
