The car is abosolutely immaculate with only 11k miles on the clock. I have a big grin on my face everytime I get in the car! The car replaces my old RX8 and the difference in performance is a revelation. The RX is a great looking car and handled like a dream but it lacked any character and did not have enough punch. The WR1 is a beast of a car, has phenomenal grip and when you push the throttle it just keeps on going. I previously had a 54 plate WRX SL a couple of years ago with the 2005 restyled interior and I think the WR1 with the older style interior seems to have a much better build qualty. I also found the ride in the WRX much harsher - or is it that love of my new toy has blinded me!! I bought the car in Aberdeen and drove it back to kent in one hit. The only down side so far is that in driving back we were hit by a lump of debris kicked up from road works on the M6 that smashed the windscreen. I suppose I should look on the bright side as it could a much more epensive fix if it damaged the bodywork! _________________ Cliff

Hmm the one at the end of my folks street has vanished, I wonder if it's yours? Did you get it in a private sale and does your car have an X in the reg?

I live on a hill and if there is any sort of ice it just wont budge of the drive even with the TC fully off the wheels just wont get any traction. Good thing the wife has a landcruiser! Thanks for all the welcomes _________________ Cliff
