scott38 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Hi Guys (and girls if there are any), Wanted an Impreza since i was around 20 and i'm now 39 so took the plunge. I've always owned Honda's and traded in my Civic Type R rice rocket for a 2008 WRX, couldn't find an STi for the right miles/money but found a nice WRX on autotrader. 1 owner from new and 55k on the clock. I must say it brings a christmas morning grin to my face every time I get in it and I can't wait for the snow! HA! One thing that does trouble me a little bit though is the clutch (i'm going to have a look through the forums too), i've never driven a car with a clutch as hard to press as this one in my life, to the point that I thought it was cable controlled and was sticking! Is this normal? I've had it a week and got used to it but could do with a second opinion from someone. Is it bad that i've had it 1 week and i'm already considering getting an STi :D Cheers Peeps, Regards Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Hi welcome to S.O.C Scott Very nice looking Hatch/sharkeye. I remember the clutch being hard to press when I 1st got one but got used to it now so I shouldn't worry about that to much. Unless it's to the point you're needing to force it that much you nearly follow through ;) And I agree best fun ever in the Snow only thing I look forward to when winter comes round :D Nope that's not wrong at all I wish I had got an STI now but don't let that take anything away from the WRX they are just as much fun and can be tunned up. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott38 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 Thanks for both replies :) I'm most looking forward to driving past anything rear wheel drive (BMW especially) when the snow comes muhaahaaaa. I nearly followed through when I thought the clutch was in need of tlc lol. Going to start with an k&n I think then carry on from there, it's a girlfriend replacement so much cheaper to run and less hassle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Haha... Well think a very good compromise :D for me I have had both far to long I'd feel lost with out either now. But I'm sure an upgrade of car would help me feel much better too :D Not sure there any cheaper to run though but still manages to put a smile on my face so it's worth every penny :D And you will be able to do that and side ways past them so you can wave if you really want to show off :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Ideal winter run around and in a great colour as well - a list of mods starting to form - its a slippery slope but smile inducing :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
