Default Subaru Impreza WRX SWRT Special Edition

Is this worth it?

Its a brand new WRX import but with:

(Sat Nav, SWRT Front Fog Covers, STi Interior, Climate, Rear Spoiler, 17" Gold Alloys)

My missus wants her car to look like mine but not have the power because of all the motorway driving so she wants it to be more economical.

Now the standard WRX doesnt look like my STI but has the economy.

This seams a good mix. Anyone got one?

PM "Patkin". have you had a look at the wrx300? similar thing minus the high spoiler and satnav. it does hav ppp however. there are deals to be had on std wrx's at the minute tho mate with the new one coming out. you can get the spoiler for a little more.

Ah right, i will have to have a look around then.

She does 350mph per week so its got to be economical. Doing that in my STi would brankcrupt me seriously! LOL.

So its got to be a variation of the WRX so its lighter on the fuel bill and just look identical. lol. Fog light covers and all according to her.

Its a mission for me

Good deal spent ages trying to secure one of these I ended up 18K NO Cat 1 and NO Tracker and just the WRX Spoiler but the rest as stated!!!! Bit dissapointed now after reading this

Does anyone have a link to the Sat Nav specs? and how much was the map disk?

This will be my second scoob and what secured me getting one past the wife was when a mondeo had a blow out in front of me at approx 85mph and the handling and braking of such a well crafted machine got me through the carnage caused (Rear end of the mondeo just shattered along with various other chunks of metal and assorted poly carb) + the mondeo's amazing u-turn and barrier slam on the M18 was not pretty, well she was impressed that we got out of the unsavoury situation un-injured and light paint chipping on the motor. I may of indicated to her that if we where in a lesser car we would have been toast but the trusty beast saved us

(looks for AllBrandsNew phone number)

What's the mpg difference between WRX and STi??

I doubt it's that much. Although it will probably be better for your missus anyway as she is unlikely to have a heavy right foot (although I know some of the ladies do )

Probably a little late to respond to this but here is my few bob, answer is it worth it? Just about if you get the tracker and the alarm, if not, no. I Just bought one of these and to be frank it did not excite me, mine came with the wrx spoiler, crappy exhaust pipe ends and std gear **** unlike the one shown to me in some photos it did come with blue seats and gold 17" but no sat nav, they had to buy me one seperate. Also beware it comes with no mats and no lacking wheel nuts so make sure you are not dissapointed by the lack of items make sure unlike me you know what you are picking up.
