Wanted one of these or a Spec C but I think this will be a better all round road car. My S204 was better than my Spec c as a road car. As a track car the spec c would be better but this will be road only.

it's only a 2.0 litre turbo.. supposedly bullet proof.
don't start tarting it up with FMIC and the like. As said, you could have bought a STi.. if you want big BHP.
The 20th Anniversay is a special car.. the bits on it are on it for a reason.
performance is good on a lighter car anyway.

It’s celebration time at Subaru. The Japanese firm’s tuning arm, STi, marks its 20th birthday this year – and to celebrate, it’s producing 300 limited-edition Impreza WRX STi models.
Called the 20th Anniversary Edition, each car gets unique badging, new alloys, a mild bodykit and white paint.
Under the bonnet lies a Japanese-spec 304bhp 2.0-litre turbo engine – which boasts 9bhp more than the UK-spec 2.5-litre STi. What’s more, the handling has been improved to make the most of the grunt available. It gets stiffened front wishbones, new anti-roll bars and retuned dampers and springs.
The results are incredible. Thanks in no small part to the newly revised suspension mounts and bushes all-round, the car resists understeer, turns in faster and stays flatter than the standard version. It’s more stable under heavy braking, too, and can corner at least 10mph faster than the present WRX STi. What’s most surprising is that it manages to do all this while still delivering decent ride quality.
In fact, it’s the STi 20th Anniversary Edition’s enhanced handling that highlights the standard car’s sluggish torque response below 3,000rpm.
And that’s something Subaru admits. Chief engineer for the new model, Hideharu Tatsumi, told us that the car could do with even more torque, especially at low speed when accelerating hard coming out of second gear corners. However, with a 0-60mph time of 4.9 seconds, the STi is anything but slow.
Still, it’s the handling that dominates the experience. The 20th Anniversary Edition is on a par with the greatest STi of the previous generation, the tongue-twisting Spec C Type RA-R, and rewards drivers, regardless of their abilities. It’s a shame that all 300 limited-edition models are destined for Japan, but interested buyers might be lucky enough to find an importer interested in bringing a handful to the UK.
