Look after them - I'll buy it from you in 2 years Especially if it's standard, preferably without tinted glass.

Has anyone done any decent miles in them yet, got them run in? I'd love to know how they are compared to a standard WRX Wagon. Is the ride harder, and does it pull noticeably better?

I also seem to recall that leather is an option (not sure though). Has anyone gone for this? Pictures please!

Well I have managed to clock 367 miles in mine to date. Had an MY05 saloon before and its way better than that.

I went for the leather option and, sorry to say, but the tints come as standard on the wagon but as an option on the saloon. I think the ride is better than my old scoob, but time will tell. Most of the people that have been it in think the same, so its not just me.

When it's done the 1K I will know more, but for the moment it has bags of pull. Looking forward to letting it loose once I have run it in a bit.

Thanks Dave, sounds good!

Thought the tints were standard, but can you opt to have it without them? If not, what would you have to do to replace them - buy new windows or are they just film which can be removed?

I like it, you are already customizing a car you don't even own

I really dislike the tinted glass that came as standard on my GB270, it is way too dark. I have already seen a GB270 with a small blemish on the rear bumper, probably caused but not being able to see anything out of the rear and rear side windows when parking in the dark.

I am no expert but I did have a look at the glass and I do not think it is a film, I think it is tinted glass. It is a bit early to tell the missus I want to spend more money on the car, replacing 5 pieces of glass.

I had a 2000 impreza turbo before this and even when running in it seemed way way better, but now it is run in, it is amazing how quickly you get used to the extra poke.

I like the tints myself, but I do agree with Airwolf, they are dark. At night it can make reversing a bit tricky. I think I will invest in a reversing kit from halfords for £99, peace of mind if nothing else. I had a look at mine and I also think it's glass not a film.

Overall I am so pleased with the car, just got to take it easy for another 587 miles

If any of you are having problems with the tinted glass, I could be generous and swap your GB270 Wagon for my non-tinted 2002 WRX Bugeye

Cheaper that way

Sounds like a fair exchange.
