Default Bunning Garages

Still on the hunt...

This place has a few hatchbacks that look promising:
https://www.bunninggarages.co.uk/

WRX-S with "forged engine rebuild" this year:
https://www.bunninggarages.co.uk/use...ands/18168822/

WRX with PPP:
https://www.bunninggarages.co.uk/use...ands/18388960/

I was staying away from hatches because of the eye-watering VED and internet horror stories about the 2.5 but they keep popping up in my searches.

Does anyone know anything about this dealership? "Subaru specialist" rather than actual dealer. I found a ranting thread on here about them but it's years old.

Thanks.

Thanks. I've asked them for details of the rebuild.

Rebuilt in-house. Running a Prodrive map. Very little info about them online. One rather worrying Google review:
Brought a car from Bunning garages, after 12 days the auxiliary belt snapped, and had to pay for my own recovery to the garage. The garage in fairness fixed the belt the same day which I was impressed with. But the day after the engine on the car blew up. Had to get trading standards involved with the case. After 7 months I only received £11,000 of my original £16,995 back! The garage came up with every excuse to blame me for the engine. Wouldn’t recommend this place to my own worse enemy! 7months of hell to only receive a part refund. The garage only supplied a £500 warranty on my vehicle when I purchased it and now I see why! Poor car, very poor service!!
