Talking Been away a bit...which model's facelifted now

Been looking at getting a UK STi, I'm not really up on the "new" shapes and have seen some with a different front design. Shaped front lights and different grill....

What year did they change the front on the UK bugeyes, is it just the front styling wise, and are there any other bits changed on the newer models. Will be looking at a 2 year old one probably.

Thanks

Each to their own

They are inspired by the V-Limited . .

Looks great in silver

Not entirely sure if I'll be back as I'm also getting the call from the EVO VII

Only do 6k miles a year so running costs not really an issue

I tried the VII too, but it was a litte harsh a ride and not as nice to be inside as the Scoob If it was not a daily driver, I'd have gone for the Evo.

Be an expensive swop from you CTR either way John, the way to think of Impreza's/Evo's, is they are fast tractors...no style, no class, and really good in muggy weather.
They have an extra feature of getting thumbs up from groups of chav lads, and "why does it have pikey gold wheels and a big thing on the back" head shakes from nice girls, so its a lose lose situation

Saying that, they do go fast, and have a nice turbo kick as I remember, just depends how important that is, and how often you'll get to use the extra performance over your Civic.

Worth a look, but definitely the Evo would be the choice, as in (most) standard forms, they're quicker, and also have more appeal from said lads, so the two things these cars are good for are covered off better than they are in the Impreza.
