As soon as they are "used" they lose the vat, 20% gone in a signature!
Anyone know if you can fit a tow bar to these?
I'm not sure that you understand how tax works... Anyone know if you can fit a tow bar to these?
Residuals will likely be very high though, the prices of newage WRX's and sti's seems to be going up at the moment.

Not the Subaru backed Warranty. I understand that it may well have a 'warranty', but you might have to carefully study the T&C's. I've seen the internal memo's on the matter, and it is quite unoquivical. Any fiddling with the mapping will void the Subaru UK Warranty, period.
With Subaru UK, driving the car above 5k normally invalidates the warranty lollucky5trike said:
Do you have a source/reference for that?! Is that anywhere in print officially for the UK....?
He's referring to several warranty claims rejected by IM in the pre-facelift hatchbacks. Many were told to gtfo because they redlined their 300bhp sports car thus over stressing the engine causing baby unicorns to die. Edited by Ved on Saturday 28th February 22:17

I made the terrible error of driving one today. What an astonishing car. I'd love to write some sort of sensible review, but am rather speechless, ballistic doesn't even cover it.
Now I have to work out a way to get one without getting divorced!
Do try and write a few words! What have you driven to compare it with?!Now I have to work out a way to get one without getting divorced!
Well, I currently drive a lightly modified blobeye WRX, but have owned some reasonably quick cars in the past - c36 amg, 200sx,clio 182,330i, xjr, even a mk1 mx5!
I've also driven a rally prepped bugeye wrx on a short rally track, 911, Caterham, m3 and more.
Anyhoo, I think all of these things are subjective, so what is quick to me may not be to the next driver.
The Sti was extremely sharp, handled beautifully (firm but well damped) and was even comfortable on a short motorway stretch. I needed to overtake a dawdler early on and was genuinely shocked at how quick it was. In fact it would be easy to conclude that it is far too fast for modern roads (and speed limits) but it would be a fun way to build up the points.
I even liked the interior (even though the displays are randomly located and coloured) which seems to be the main issue people (in Audis) complain about.
Please subaru - offer a ridiculously cheap 0% finance deal to get them selling!

Just picked up my new wrx sti and got a bigger grin than when I test drove one a month ago which I didn't know was possible. Just a shame I'm meant to keep it sensible for the 1st 1000 miles as I can't wait to truly compare it to the golf r which we also have.
First impressions however show it's certainly a firmer ride and feels more planted than the golf. The interia is much better than those of old. You also feel more involved but that's mainly due to the golf having DSG.
Think this weekend will mostly involve driving a long distance I think.

Anyone spotted any decent ones in the classifieds yet? A mate is looking at a 2012 saloon at £19k (in fairness it's immaculate with 11k miles and every option ticked) but trying to convince him a 2014 model is the way to go.
Take a look in the PH Classifieds: http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds?Category=us...There's a number starting at £26k, with just break in miles
