buying a wrx hatch
Hi all,
Thinking of buying a wrx hatch for around £13k. They seem really good value, is there a reason ? They are stating 0-60 is 6.5 second, surely this can't be right, is it ?
Thanks.

It just seems strange that a 2.5l turbo is a second slower than the older 2.0l turbo. I'll take a look at the jdm s-gt and the sti but the cars will be out of subaru warranty which was something I really wanted with buying a second hand car.

Hello mate.
I have an 09 WRX hatch with the Prodrive pack.
I bought it with the pack installed so don't know what its like as standard, but either way I'm more than happy with mine.
Obviously if you can get the S for similar money then go for it, but its just as cheap to fit the tinsel on a WRX in warranty than it is to get an S thats out of, in my view.
Either way - get one :-)

Looks nice in white. I'll have to have a few test drives. The missus has just thrown a spanner in the works though by maybe wanting a third kid !!! Think i'd rather have a new scooby. Ha ha

I had a WRX-S and it was good for 6.3k rpm in top gear which equates to around 143 mph. By the time a Mondeo diesel reaches its max, a WRX hatch is in the next parish. In acceleration terms, there's no comparison.
