Cheap WRX 2.5 2007
I've been looking at the Cheap WRX 2.5 2007's at motorpoint & ron skinner. Grey, black & blue.. £13999 with cat2 alarm/ imob. They are imports from cyprus with a european 3 year warranty. Anybody got one? Is there much difference between them and the uk models. I had a quote from admiral & declared what it was £400 fully comp. Powerstation do a 290bhp upgrade for about a grand sounds like a a cheap ride?? I'd be interested in anybodies comments

Mine is a Euro import from Malta. The Euro cars are the same spec as UK cars but with a few small differences. The Euro car doesnt have locking wheel nuts, doesnt have an alarm (unless fitted by the dealer selling the car), is serviced every 9k rather than 10k and most dont have side airbags in the seats as this is an optional extra in Malta/Cyprus.
The seats without the airbags are more fitted and in my opinion better as they hold you better.
Make sure you get the full three year warranty as some WRX's have been pre-registered and the warranty period will have started.
As for power mods, Powerstation has a good rep and its very convenient, but you may be better off replacing the exhaust system and cat with a system you want and getting the car mapped with Bob Rawl. The car will be mapped on the road rather than in the garage so it will be a better match to your personal driving style.
Dont forget though, if you have any of the above done, it will void your warranty.
Hope this helps,
Ian
Oh ye, would i buy one again? Without a doubt!!!

i got 1 jan 06 so far no probs at all, bit gutted after i got it cos they dropped a grand of the price i paid £15,995otr plus i paid £600 for the power upgrade (dont do it!!!), its recently been to power stations rollers and gave 330bhp/475nm with a loose intercooler pipe so i think she had more to give, its a dream and worth every penny and more.
