Been looking for something to replace the puma which is my runaround. The wife has the big estate diesel, so the Poooma did fine for going to work, taking the bike places etc, however ca park envy and many hours spent online along with some share sales led me to test drive this today, which I immediately paid the deposit on - love it!







It's a 55 plate 2.5 WRX and I can't wait to pick it up :-)

Terrific choice. This must be one of the earliest registered Hawkeyes in the country.

Fantastic to drive, being a wagon pretty practical too. The kids loved it, the Mrs hates it - therefore it's clearly the right choice!

Nice! WRX wagons are so much cooler than the saloons!

Fantastic choice, I still miss mine.

I highly recommend a rear antiroll bar and solid drop links. It helps reduce the large amount of understeer that comes as standard but won't turn it into a tail happy car. Easy DIY mod too.
