Thank you so much for your e-mail offering me a WRX STi at £6000 OFF.

I'm afraid that £27,000 is still £10,000 too much ... there are just too many other options at that price point.

To rub salt into the wound, you are asking me to pay a £179 Purchase Fee - WTF?????? I'll tell you what ... YOU PAY ME £179 if I decide to put my business your way!!

Then to compound your amazing cheek, you want me to pay a £139 Acceptance Fee - WTF?????? I will charge YOU a £139 fee if I accept YOU! You cheeky bu99ers!!

So, in answer to your wonderful non-offer it will be a BIG FAT NO from me!!

Got the same email today mate. And to top it all off, a mahoooosive final payment at the end!

Advice?
1. Put it in the right forum.
2. Start a new thread, don't add to an existing one.

I paid £17,600 for my Honda Civic Type S GT 2.2 Diesel with neck snapping torque of 350Nm's.

55mpg is a nice touch too ... as is the £110 a year road tax ...

Also loses value at half the rate of an unwanted and unloved new Impreza .... scoobies were the class leader back in the day, the reality is that the Scooby is no longer the must-have performance car, sadly

I think Shaun said performance car

pslewis

A Subaru Impreza Saloon (00-05) 2.0 WRX 4WD 4d - a performance car, I'm sure you would agree? Has a Torque of 292Nm's.

My Honda comes with 340Nm's of power ........ in my book that makes it the star performer, not much comes close when it's moving - the overtaking ability makes an Impreza look positively slow by comparison.

Times have changed ....

Sounds like an absolute animal...is this the 138bhp model? Whats the 0-60? Mine does it in 3.65 secs out of the box..I cant see any Honda showing it up

Pete, I still have my Civic Type S diesel aswell and I'm bored of it now because it is too slow. It does not overtake quicker than an Impreza and you know it

Because he was wearing his neck brace and his nurse was in attendance on his one daily excursion away from the old folks home.

We're getting side tracked here by Pete's confusion over what a powerband is and the combination of torque / bhp over that powerband to equate to actual performance..... rather than a short burst of "here we go, here we go... Oh, was that it".

£27k is not expensive for a new model STI and I would go as far to say that if they appeared at that price brand new as the RRP, they would be a pretty awesome deal imo.

bigsinky

i would say you would be boking now if you bought a brand new Sti 4 weeks ago?

Shaun

Only if you had bought it on finance, but these kinds of finance deals happen in the industry.

I'm with Pete on this one. Over priced and not as road friendly as a huge torqued oil burner. 90% of the Impreza drivers on here hardly exploit the useful power band that Imprezas have anyway, so what's the point of them on the road? May as well have a diesel.

speedking

Count me in the 10%

SirFozzalot

I think £27k a good deal, when you consider my STi had a RRP of £25k 9 years ago. (Didn't pay that though! ) Wasn't the Bugeye STi £27k RRP?

For an extra £1600 you can get it to 340BHP too, still warrantied!

Exactly- price has remained pretty much similar for the last 16 years so I would have to congratulate Subaru on that.

My problem comes with the fact they haven't moved the game on. For today they really should have 400bhp as standard.

I agree & it should be reliable!

LOL....
I vote a ban too... :-)

And neck snapping performance.. That deserves a bigger laugh Pete. I actually drove one of these the other day as a friend has just bought one. Nice drive, good fuel economy but the performance is hardly something to shout about. It goes well as do all these modern diesels but I think you really need to go out and drive a proper performance car as a diesel Honda really isn't.

I actually think 27K for a new Impreza is a good price. I also think that if Subaru had sold them at this price from the start you would see an awful lot more on our roads. I was in Cambridge Subaru just the other day and they had a new white STI in the showroom with £26,995 in the window, looked like a good deal to me.

Trends come and trends go, but pslewis is consistent. Gotta love this place

pslewis

We all know full well that the British Touring Car Champion Civic can make an Impreza look very slow indeed ..... when they are both on full chat and moving - 0-60 times are for the teenagers and girlies. REAL power is for the REAL men on REAL roads ...... and that's where the Impreza falls ever so slightly short of the Honda Diesel with that massive Torque.

Besides, we are supposed to be talking about the price of a WRX STi and if it represents value or not at £27,000 or, worse, at £31,000!! Or, heaven forbid, £33,000!!!
