More specifically, the WRX (not the STi).

It seems to have the 2.5 which seems brisk enough. I only say not the STi because of the price, i've found a Silver and a white WRX at a Subaru dealer for 9 grand at 3 years old both with about 50k miles.

I've always been the biggest fan of exec barges, 3 series, Mondeo, Vectra, A4 etc, and never a fan of hot hatches.

Are these any good and nice to drive? The only thing that puts me off the most, is the poor quality interior. Shame the 4-door is only avaliable at STi spec at £20k upwards frown

Im assuming being a Subaru, these things are pretty bulletproof?

(also posted in jap chat, but it's a bit of a slow mover is that board biggrin )

Have a look in the Jap section. There have been quite a few engine issues with the hatch. If your going to do the Impreza thing you could always get a 2005 car which have the bomb proof 2 litre lump.

I did 40K in a WRX with the prodrive pack. It's okay, but the ride is firm and they drink petrol.
