Newbie in the ranks
Hi,
I’ve been looking here for advice for the past few months while I was in the process of hunting a WRX. Like many others the decision to go for a 2.5 or 2.0 weighed heavily on my mind as I was 9K budget.
In all I took 8 cars out and went over them very armed with the knowledge you guys had placed on here. Many thanks for that.
Anyway, I took owner ship of my 2002 WRX STIPPP for £6500 on Monday. It’s a very clean car that was lovingly owned but a true enthusiast sporting loads of stamps and oil changes every 5k. The drive day to day is amazing and Im seeing an average 27 mpg (M25 Uxbridge to Hatfield commutes mostly, loads of traffic).
Im getting used to the car after having owned a clio 172 sport for 3 years and various hot hatch etc over the past 18 years. My thoughts on the WRX is awesome.. other then the speakers, dear lord.
The pull in every gear is amazing but the for me its how easy the car is to drive, oh and the sound.
