Now all you need to do is get some Eibach springs on it, transforms the look and handling (and approved by Ford so warranty not affected!)

I was looking mate but in the end I got this one for a bargain. Less than £14,000 so i couldnt turn it away. 58 plate, 12,000 miles, perfect condition. I love it!

The only things I intend on doing is removing the ST stripes and lower it as stated above.

Power wise its like a little rocket. Really am impressed by the Ford.

WOW. Went up to see Nathan today and his car. Really Shocked Nothing like I remember Fords to be. The toys and some simple tricks it has So well built. I know the engine is Volvo, but the whole car felt like one. So solid! And with his being upped to 275bhp. Felt alot more. The Power came in straight away, no turbo lag and just kept going. Even in 6th gear it pulled at low speeds

Very impressed mate

Spotless n all, not one mark on it. Even for a 2 year old car, you expect something Nothing

Looked Great in White on a day like this, Had to put the shade's on

Even the Exhaust Popped alot more than what I thought for a Standard one

If I could afford it If/when I sell my Scoob in time. I would have this in my Top 5, Defo

Thanks again for the Exhaust Mate Bloody Loving it, bring on those Tunnels

Thanks for the nice comments Craig. Glad you liked the car. Looking forward to hearing the vortex on your car. Really looking forward to a N Wales run out!!

Salsa...IMO opinion my ST is better than my WRX in almost every aspect. Its more refined, smoother, drives better, looks better. I love it and have no regrets about the swap. I cannot comment on the classics as I've never owned one but its a no brainer for me, I just wouldn't choose an old Impreza over a modern car like the facelift ST. Its just preference really.
