I have silver and it is nice to have a car that looks clean most of the time!!

If I had a choice though I would have gone for white, hmmm!

Black alloys on Silver looks

What black are Subaru offereing? Mine is Blue/Black (or midnight blue pearl for it's full name). It's a difficult colour to keep clean, and quite "flat" when anything other than clean & highly waxed

Cirencester have a Grey metalic Saloon, it does look nice in that colour too...

I quite like the new blue colour - different from your average grey/black/silver German saloons

Obsidian Black for me.

Still feel the Hatch is the more practical car but the current "hot topic" would put me off doing a deal on either.

Wish you well though and hope you enjoy.

I wouldn't currently buy a new Sti either with the engine problems. That said, the San Remo Red looks good. Makes a change from all the blue,silver and black ones.

Or dark grey metallic. I think I might be starting to like the look of the saloon though I still prefer the garishness of previous pre-hatch models.

Ok ive just been to look at 2 White with small Spoiler and 1 Black, Have to say im drawn to the whote at the moment.

Sat in it also Lovely recaros and internals look a lot nicer, Stereos diff, and handsfree mobile sexyness.

I have to admit the photos on here dont do it justice, it is very nice.

2 things though

33k is too much
No spoiler SPOILS it for me, even a little one would be nice,

dealer quoted me 600 to add his spoiler he had on it.

Waiting on a price see what its like, If not they have a 330s with 10k on may get that.

Failing that i,ll sack it all off pay off my visa and play in my WRX-S

I test drove the white booted - looked great and was pretty clean still after a long motorway trip. Should be seeing the new blue tomorrow - i'm told it looks the mutts!....and talking of Mutts - have a dog too, so that is the issue with the booted - can I get the dog in safely with the seats down....I have a Leggy Spec B so he;s used to being in an estate...! - blimey - choice of spending 30K plus on a car dictated by the dog!

All the pics i've seen of the new sedan seem to be in popular 3series BMW colours.

There's just something about Pearlescent White
It looks clean even when it's dirty

I'm starting to slowly warm to the new saloon but I don't personally think it needs the spoiler. The car is kind of sort of BMW 3 series shaped and I think it looks tacky with the wing.

Not sure, we only supply the spoilers in primer, Keith Price got a local bodyshop to paint them
