Default Going back to a Scoob

Evening all,

I've recently sold my Evo and am thinking of getting another Impreza. I had a 2001 WRX some years ago and loved it. The problem is I dont really know what to get.

I have about £12k to spend and was looking at maybe a WR1 or 2005 STI PPP. What would you recommend and what other options are there? It will be used as my daily runner but dont do many miles. What are the service intervals(can't be as bad as the evo) on these cars and what fuel do they use? ie Super unleaded only?

Thank you for your time.

Well i was going to say spec c 05 onwards.

Dont ask any more questions go out and buy that car in the link.

Anyone on here that is in the know would jump at that car, as far as your budget and requirements are concerned.

That is the one, you wont be dissapointed and you could wait a long while before another one comes up.

Do some reading on what to watch out for and take someone along that knows scoobs.

Very tempting. Thanks for the info and opinion. What fuel octane do these run on? 95 or 98?
