too young for a wagon eh?

i'm 24 and i had my first wagon at 21!
personal preference but i used to want a saloon until i had a good think and realised that saloons are pretty crap really..........

everybody knows wagons handle better

Top one, bit of a bargain compared to the rest. PPP is 2k (or 1600 with SIDC discount) so factor that in.

im sticking with the shortlist above, granted that i can get a 2.5 cheaper, i dont really want one, and also the same with the imports, great cars im sure just personal choice really.....have always wanted an impreza sti so am looking for the newest reg and lowest milage within budget.

Stick with a UK STI hehe the ride will be more comfortable, less noisy, etc and if you can reach the limits of the STI on UK roads then your driving way to fast/mad!!!! (Having said all that I've still upgraded mine)

home with her at last, what a horrible day driving....timewise and the amount of traffic, took me 5 hours to get to braintree from cardiff, 4.5 hours on the way back, but i did have a smile on my face on the way back very happy with my purchase, am sure loads of questions will be asked soon enough
