Hopefully Subaru realized what a bunch of Fu*king idiots they were being and scrapped the whole idea.

There is a new impreza coming out at the end of the year, so there is simply none left to order. Still a few in the dealer network, but limited choice of colours / spec etc.
STi D possibly coming towards the end of 2012. Japs have beem running 200bhp in testing.

Cool

I have had one for 23 months from new and just had it 24 k service last month
£155 to tax it
£299 to insure it group 14
Services just under £300

0-10k averaged 42.8
10-20k. Averaged 44.9
20-24k averaged 46.6

The last 1000 miles I have averaged 49.8 that including a 350 mile trip yesterday to Yorkshire
My driving of a 1000 per month is short 10 mile blasts to work Inc 3 mile in city and a couple of 150 mile journeys a month
Performance is fantastic with nearly 400 mm of torque ,it is as fast as my classic on every test I have done ,and I don't hang about
Leans a bit too much on the corners compared to the classic but grips well ,steering as a nice feel to it and refinement is excellent as I have run diesels for the last 18 years as my main car and is far the smoothest drive

Equipment is Great and excellent Subaru build quality ( I still have my classic green wagon I got new 11years ago as Subaru are built to last )

Very rare car I think there is only 4/5 of us on scoobynet with them I paid just under 23k with the options on ,last ime I looked they had gone up 2k due to the yen increase

I looked on the website and can't seem to find the price at all so I don't know if they are discontinued or what ?

I like it and it's nice to get 500 to the tank against my 250 from my classic
I did my sums before I got it over a 330s and worked out I would save just over 10k in 5years of running it by buying a wrxd



I have put the STi grill and rear spoiler on it since this photo
Rare car ,very specialist but you won't be left behind with it

I bloody love mine, and can't wait to start modding it Now map alone should see me at 350 ft/lbs torque!

Have seen 66.6 mpg out of it, but that involved driving like Miss Daisy.
