Looks like there is Sat Nav in the pictures, not sure, is that not usually an option? Or is it even included in this special price?

Erm, all there in the article:

"In addition, both models will be available with an optional ICE pack consisting of a Clarion SatNav and iPod adaptor and Bluetooth ’phone kit for £1,750."

Worth a mention is the 410Nm of torques from the PPP pack - that's more than my 996

It doesn't sound like a bargain when you consider Motorpoint are selling them at the moment for 13.5K brand new!

Saw their ad in the paper, £10k privately spent should cover any potential warranty issues and whhole stack of "proper" modifications.

Actually, its 310Nm according to the blurb

22k doesnt sound too good to me!!

I bought mine (import) for £16,300 and so far spent £2,200 on various mods listed in my profile that will give the car the same spec. Another £900 max will take it to near 300hp bringing my total to £19,400 with almost 30hp more.

I know i havnt got fancy seats or a shinny knob but considering you can pick a WRX up for £14,500 OTR these days, i would say it was a better deal!

Or, even better idea, just buy a Euro Sti for £21,000!!!!!

Actually guys,

be warned that the MOTORPOINT price of 13 500 is NOT a real OTR price! You have to pay for their so-called "added extra's such as metalic paint etc etc" which comes upto around 14 600 plus the reg fee, plus their "paperwork fees etc etc", then you find out that the warranty is not the full 3 years 'cos the cars have been sitting around for ages!!!

I just collected a beautifull new WRX saloon from Graham Walker (Chester area) and have been delighted by their service, and the car is simply terrific. It is so much more comfortable than the older "classic" models, and the 2.5L engine is so pliable and grunty. I agree that the new "run out" models are rather showy, but they really are a bit too chavvy!!!

As for the new Impreza, yeeeeeeuuuuuuuuuccccckkkkkkkkkkkk! I can't believe Subaru did not learn from their mistakes last time round.......bug eyes or peanut look anyone???

Take yr ugly sportshatch mazda3 lookalike and drop it off a cliff (or give it to the yanks and let us have the saloon!).

I think the GB270 wagon looks excellent and if I were in the market, it would be the one I'd go for.

Each to their own though, so there's no right or wrong answer.

that's a massive amount of car for £22k. Imprezive.

(sorry)

Untill someone (me) tells you that in Japan that kind of spec car would be around £13k new.
