Just read something worrying chaps, i read a review on ciao.co.uk that said you had to be over a certain height in order to be able to reach the pedals?
Im only 5, 4. I hope im tall enough to drive one!!

Don't think there'll be a problem. If there is, you could always get some 'Noddy Holder' styleee platform shoes 
Besides that, I'm sure that most garages have a 3-foot midget for driving my car as, whenever I drop it off for servicing/work, I always get it back with the seat about 6 inches from the steering wheel.

I cant forsee there being a problem either, it was just a bit unnerving when you see a comment like "my girlfriends only 5, 4 and cant touch the pedals, ideally you want to be 5, 6" etc - great, ill just dust off the ol' rack shall i!!

I have recently bought a MY00 for £5k, albeit with 95k.
Excellent nick, standard apart from Magnex cat-back.
I have spent about £1500:
New MAF - £83
STi clutch (fitted) - £415
Ninja Sports Cat downpipe - £299
JR panel filter - £40
Ecutek Tek3 remap inc. 3 port boost solenoid - £658.
Now produces 272bhp/272lbft (Powerstations rollers - if you look at the dyno printouts they seem to be pretty accurate/conservative even).
Well happy with it now.
Alternatively, you could probably buy one for £7k ish with choice mods and less mileage. Been fun spending the cash though
MPG, about 24-25 the same as everyone else - remap didn't make mpg any worse.

WRX was the entry level Jap import car with 240 bhp
WRX Sti was a tuned car available in Japan with 276 bhp standard
With the more recent shape ones >2001 you can get WRX and Sti's that are sold in UK but they are still different to the Jap ones.
