Hi
Main differences between a UK WRX and a parallel import Eu one are as follows:-
1) Eu car will be around £5000 cheaper to buy!
2) Eu car will need to have locking wheel nuts fitted - around £50
3) Eu car will need to have Cat 1 alarm fitted - around £300
4) Latest Eu cars benefit from 3 year European warranty
I cannot think of any other major differences.
Cheers!

the front seats do not have airbags. they are only 3000ish cheaper now. also warrenty claims have to be authorised by the country of origin, which could take a while.
