Default Version 4 STI type R

I've just swapped my MY03WRX wagon for one on the above, due to pick it up in a week. This will be the 4th scoob that I have had but never an STI. Tell me a bit about them please. We've looked at all the obvious stuff and normal scooby stuff but a bit more info would be cool.

Thanks
Andy.

Where can i start.

Very strong chassis being a 2 door. They are all imports. Standard as 280bhp. 0-60 in 4.4secs i think. DCCD, air con, water injection, strong engines unlike some P1s (no offence P1 owners i love them too)
The list can go on mate. IMHO one of the finest scoobs ever made.
PS they hold their value well too
