Only kidding, but I would be careful given the track record of the recent engines. However, litchfield know their st.

To be fair he does

He knows how to balance a car to get the best out of it. Not always the hardest suspension and silly BHP.

my type 20 was a great example.

I wonder how mich he charge for a GT300??? Now that's awesome

I'm benchmarking against Exige S

I am thinking of getting one of these, but more likely to go for the Toyota as I am worried about the declining Subaru dealer network. Anybody else have the same concern?

I think the Subaru will be the cooler, rarer , version for sure

if my local Scooby dealer goes then I'll get it serviced at Toyota , can't see that happening

You may think that, but my local scooby dealer closed down a couple of months ago.

There is no escaping the fact that in the UK Subaru is struggling. The strength of the Yen, plus base increases in the price of the car are not helping. Subaru have alienated much of their established following with 1) withdrawing from WRC 2) the bloody hatch which blew a 3 year hole in the used Impreza market 3) prices that are simply two high - a Scooby STi is a 25K car, not a 35K one.

Tony of course is an exception to this and we love him for it

Big year 2012 though, add BRZ, XV and new impreza, and it looks a lot stronger range.

LOL my First was £25K, new bug £27.5K + PPP & PHP £3K, my00 Type R £12k. MY06 JDM circa £28K to Type20 + £5.5K new 2011 360R, whoops 320R £33K with +£1k for 340R so relatively speaking on par I would have much prefered a JDM but as you say The Strong YEN and was 20% VAT etc made it £44K OTR I liked it but not THAT much
