I take it you have had enough of imprezas and want to get as far away from them as possible with a korean looking family hathchback, we will all get to that point in life i guess where you put your feet and settle down with a shopping trolley

No matter what colour it is it will still look Shi*e IMO, Its your money though and hope you enjoy the car, what sort of price are you paying if you don't mind me asking.
Good luck.

Pete - good luck wth your purchase. Ignore the flaming comments. All Imprezas aint lookers. We buy them for the 4WD and performance....
Aftermarket exhaust purchases could be costly though !
Take plenty of pics !

Don't worry Pete...plenty of people will buy them once they start to appear on the road. Anyway...if there aren't many, you have a rare car eh?
Also....once Mr Litchfield, RCM, TSL, Powerstation, et al get hold of a few and produce some good results, sales will increase.
Still looks a bit....erm....... Kia'ish/Mazda'ish to me like!

Never ordered the spec c mate.
None in dealers yet and no i have not drove 1, it wont be standard for long so not to worried about handling and performance, as soon as it arrives its off to Prosport for Pete to have a play with.

Nice one
Looking at the WRX it looks pants but photos of the STI are looking promising.
I am sure it will look even better in the flesh.

EVO still gets my vote over new scoo - it's just that it LOOKS like a proper car still. But then again, I once thought an Austin Allegro 1750 Sport was cool! I even had three in a row!!

I hear Subaru are already facelifting the new scoo due to the universal press and public criticism. Apparently senior management can hardly believe they've screwed up yet again! Anyone else picked this up?
