Mate, if its recaros and keyless entry, sat nav etc you just have to get a Euro premium model retailing about 22k, and you get BBS alloys.

When i had my EU wrx a few years ago the dealer offered me PPP and said he would use another cars chassis no to get it for mine.

Looks like you have got the year old blues mate and dont really know what you want, i would either wait as no doubt there will be a face lift along shortly,lol or what about a Focus RS in the mean time till you decide, you wont lose much in depreciation and you can always get another Scooby in time.

Just looked at the change over cost and it is nigh on 13K. Not haggled yet. But, I can get the sat nav, tinted winds and PPP for considerably less (less than 5k). Will mean living with the seats and no keyless start. I will see if I can haggle a deal but I doubt it.

As bluenosewrx said, it may be the one year blues. If the 330s had a different suspension set-up that would have swung it.

I'd live without the seats and fancy key for an 8k saving!

Go talk to Litchfields, they will make your car head and shoulders above anything out of a Subaru showroom. As for seats, look up Demon Tweeks, and they have most of the Recaro range. Keyless go is just a gimick that gets boring after a while, and an be a pain in the backside - you could ask all the Merc owners who have had hassle with theirs.

Thankyou all very much for your input and opinions. They have been invaluable to me.

My decision is made. I am going to keep my car, get the PPP, get the sat nav, Hunt out some where up here to get the windows tinted like the 330s. I will keep looking for the recaro seats. Then when I get time, my car will go to litchfields for the AST set-up +more probably.
Should I go for the subaru sat nav or does anyone have better alternative suggestions because my CD changer has just packed in, the parking sensors went last month and are still on back order.

Again, thankyou thankyou, thankyou
and good night

Chris

I thought Kenwood made food processors, my wife has one.
It would seem, I know nothing
So I shouldn't go for the genuine subaru one and definately not Kenwoods food processors, but the kenwood sat nav is good, what is top of the range? without getting too silly. The subaru one is £1950 excluding fitting.
