The STI is GONE!

[wrxmania]

Well, as some of you know...the STI has been sold...she was a great car but the time had come after 18 months with it (and my third Impreza) to buy something equivalently good to drive, higher quality and with 'slightly' better economy in every sense - at the moment it is achieving a lowly 50 MPG!

In another smooth transaction from Gav at Ian Grieve Subaru in Falkirk, I now have a 2.0D SE NavPlus in Arctic White Pearlescent, which looks very nice It has the Spec B Bilstein Suspension, 18's, 6 speed from the STI, fully loaded with goodies and has ZERO rattles.

[Did I mention it will do 50MPG?]

Here are both cars - both with the same plate on them!

And here are some of the Legacy:

I'll keep you updated on her progress. At present she has rear tints, (a detachable towbar), been treated to a new fitted bootliner, has been coated with two lots of Poor Boys EXP Sealant (and has been Diamondbrite'd at Ian Grieve) and is in need of very little else at present (has new wheels and tyres too). You'd never actually believe the car has 40,000 miles on the clock!

Oh, and other than 50MPG (did I mention that), this is one of it's other great features - in 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround:

As ever, my thanks go to Gav and Charlie at Ian Grieve for doing such an excellent job, in particular Charlie who is ever helpful and has been over the last few years.

Great looking car Brian! White is the way forward

I dont think you told us what its like on fuel though

[wrxmania]

Sorry meant to mention - will do an easy 600 miles to a tank

And yes - white is absolutely the way forward.

If anyone is looking for a very good, rare red STI with every extra (PPP, Prodrive Springs, STI Quickshift, dipping interior mirror, centre storage box, Rally Armor Mud Flaps, Front Fog Lights, Rear Parking Sensors, 18" wheels etc) it will be a good buy @ £18495 at Ian Grieve.

Yeah - touch up paint (Does that count?)

[scoobyseller555]

as always Brian a pleasure to deal with you,oh and did i mention that the car you now have can do 50mpg

Minted car with amazing spec.

Gav

[wrxmania]

Thanks Gav - bit concerned as it is only doing 46 mpg at the moment

[scoobyseller555]

50mpg and 50sec 0-60?

Nice lookin motor though

[Spaceman]

Lol - fortunately nowhere near

[Kosy]

Looks great. I really like the new Legacys. Due to a new arrival to the family I had a look at some but the high prices put me off. Great car no doubt though.

Also considered swapping the P1 for an 05 STI so I'd have a 4 door and isofix- not to mention a car I would drive daily and park in car parks etc etc

HOWEVER, took the P1 out today and gave it a clean after. Seeing it sitting there on the drive I don't think I could sell it. Looks like it will be a ten year old 406 or Focus for the daily runner then! (then a blobeye WRX wagon to replace it next year ;-))

[salsa-king]

that does look nice.

but when you fill up with DERV @ 134.9 a litre.. you'll b wishing it was 98ron SUL (as they're the same price)

[wrxmania]

Luckily that won't happen too often - as I'll be filling up half the amount of times! I don't ever enjoy putting £70+ in the car every time, no matter what fuel...luckily as diesel stinks so much to put in, gloves are provided!

[scoobykev]

Very nice car, went to look at the previous shape one a couple of months ago. Unfortunately still out of my price range at the moment, maybe next time.

Keep us updated on the mpg, is your driving motorway or town?

Driving is very mixed, mainly B roads, local, non-economical stuff!

I am taking it down to Cornwall next week and back so that will be a very good test of it's long term economy

Congrats - it's a great car. You'll notice quite a difference in performance and other areas from your previous cars...it's got loads of extra's, as the sales guy will no doubt have told you. Did you buy it from Gav?

Any questions about it, ask away

Brian.

[burnett]

yes it was from gav that didint say what all the extra's was can you fill me in
