Had a test drive in a new sti saloon yesterday, fitted with 320 ecu. It was o.k but I wouldn't rush out and buy one.

With a spoiler it would look the nuts! Lots of subtle mods to tart it up too I'm with Jarvis, I'd be all over that like Ryan on a female apprentice!!

all cars are becoming very similar with the n cap safety ratings and pedestrian safety issues. . . Its a real shame! . I love scoobs but the front does look a little like a euro car, astra in particular. . still lovely tho

It was nice to drive, but didn't feel planted enough on the road for me. Not confidence inspiring at speed, especially in bends. Maybe I'm just to used to the the rawness of the classic.
