Black does look good, we have some silver BBS wheels going on tomorrow and I think they'll suit it better as well.

Chris, We have more 2006 cars going through SVA at the moment.

I was going to send out an update to my mailing list today but I've been busy most of the day and my webmaster has gone home.

Regards

Iain

looks well nice in black, really like this the best of all the 'new' age imprezas, that said those rear lights look aftermarket and distinctive lexus, hmm guess they would be acceptable as they are factory fitment.

i'd have a spec c like to see it in wr1 colour YUMMY

I like it, the front bumper looks alot deeper/wider and aggressive. However the whole Impreza image does'nt appeal to me anymore and although the grip/handling is good its just not fun

Can anyone tell i've got a cheap fun car now LOL

WTF is a 'Senior Moderator'? Although, a red highlight does look better than the dysentery beige chosen previously.....

I'm not very descriptive at the best of times but its pretty much as the 05 inside wise, the rear window spoiler (which I hated in the photos) is actually quite nice, and the front end is not as long as photos suggest.

Driving wise, I can't compare it to mine as I have the ast's but its the best 'out of the box' Imprezas i've driven. Performance wise, well it only had 150 miles on it but its quick

Best thing you can do is try it but you may end up wanting it

So, why did you order one unless there's something about it that's significantly better than the '05? Buying a new car every year is a pretty expensive hobby...

Few reasons:

1. I like it
2. Its almost as good as my T25, so when the new one has its conversion it'll be even better because I know what Litchos got planned for it
3. Because I can
4. My doctor told me to get a hobby

look closely at the second picture in post one....

Is that an intercooler splitter I see fitted there - are subaru now fitting this as standard kit or was it a aftermarket mod on this car???

I just cannot get on with those rear lights.

MUCH prefer the 03-05 cars rear lights.

Otherwise I think it looks okay. Will have to see the grilles in the flesh.

The RA looks pretty special with that lip spoiler.

Totally agree Nathan. It's growing on me too but the rear clusters are terrible.

Sammy - I doubt very much that Litchfield/Powerstation will produce anything like a lemon but I would never chop your T25 in for a car I hadn't yet driven.

That said you sound like you have far more of the green stuff than me at the moment and who are we to argue with medical advice?

Its forward progress thats all, my car has held its value really well and I am very pleased with it, with the changes that are planed for the 06 T25 combined with the fact that i'm having a spec c version I have no doubt that the new car will be worth the change

I am in simular agreement to an earlier posts love the Spec C but lose the nurburgring stickers. Theyare cheap, tacky, Chav and F in Naff. Similarly I find the swoosh on the doors VLtd and the WR1 stickers crap.IMHO

I always found Badges like P1, RA and Sti, look and give the impression of a Quality product.

Tony

ps.
I have added stickers to my cars but as i said it's a very personal thing removed it's back to Std Perhaps I'm just getting toooo old

too old yes but correct p1/22b badges look spot on but others can look tacky-i am tempted by the keep attacking the ring sticker for my wife's ka!
06 model looks a lot better in pics especially spec c models

I think you've hit the nail on the head there.
