these remind me of the original Impreza in terms of bang for buck although not quite as good value as they were back in the day

what's the monthly leasing cost of one of these?

Congrats, good choice I've had mine a couple of months.

I'm really enjoying mine. Not quite such an event as say an E46 M3 or S2000, but as a daily driver it's brilliant.

Gad, you can get them for under £400 + VAT per month

I thought the rear view was pretty poor and with anybody of any serious leg length the rear leg space was tight even for children but otherwise a smart well put together car.

A contractor where I work bought one recently and the demo he had was some sort of gun metal grey and looked quite nice, the black one he finaly got does not look as nice.


His main comment though was "it's faster than your Porsche" to which my thought is .. and so what, you need me to congratulate you or something

You should correct him.

It may be capable of a higher velocity than your Porsche, but as speed is distance over time, and the limit in this country is 70, the advantage you would have on braking and cornering would probably make you faster

you could always point out that a £3K Impreza can be faster than his

Mine is the gunmetal grey (mineral grey). I also really like the Estoril Blue, but I wanted red leather and didn't fancy the superman look

You'd need to fit the door card inserts on the outside to achieve that.

Why? I went to see one and it was horrible and more money.
