welcome Tom,
MR2's are nice but I promise, once you have an "Impreza" (not scooby) you will soon forget them

anything we can do to help, just shout

Hi Tom and Welcome,

Check that non of the shocks knock if running standard ones, dont bother paying extra for a Prodrive version, only difference is the Map which is generic to the STi and its a basic map which is a bit crap and it also has a sports cat and rear box, so nothing special.

hope you find what you want,

all the best,
Mark

Call it whatever you like mate

And keep checking the For Sale section on here, as there are usually some fine, well-looked after examples for sale.
