Mikkk - No - Nicely summarised, so "Original Contribution" 
My WRX is happiest between 90 and 95mph - obviously on my clear test track! This means I rarely get overtaken - but I am not the fastest thing on the motorway either!
Harrymonk - yup agreed but you need to know if it is going to cost you another £5-600 a year in fuel ....

I could have got the car for 22.6k but that dealer was a 2 hour drive away and I preferred to go through the local dealer from day one, they are the ones servicing the car etc. for its forseeable future.
Most recently I had the Prodrive spring kit fitted for £470 all in, now there's just a quick shift and the PPP remaining ... how much are kidneys worth these days anyhoo??

Harrymonk - I probably won't once I've got one!
Mikkk - Horrible isn't it ....... still need to find about £8K for a new one - so starting to look secondhand to see what's around ......

On a more serious note, I drive a MY03WRX and recently drove a ppp'd sti and I have to say its like chalk and cheese, it just gives a more alltogether package.

before i bought my sti ppp a few weeks back i had a go in a wrx ppp and to be honest it just felt really flat i was very underwhelmed so i thought i would keep my cerbera.
anyway stuffed the cerb into a tree so after much looking around at more tvr's,lotus esprit even a ferrari i eventually had a go in the sti ppp and bought it! it definately feels a step up from the wrx ppp,only thing that is a slight irritation as opposed to the tvr is the short gearing up to 4th,but im getting used to it.
get saving!

Milu - I have had several 6 speed cars - so I'm used to that "shortness"! Mind you the Cerbera has intergalactic gearing .......
I'm on it .....
