I was actually looking for a 520d when I saw this. It ticked every box I wanted and I saved £5k on a similar spec 5 series. Mpg is about 47 on the on board thing. 45 if I give it a bit more thrust lol. The ride is soooooooo comfy though. It has also meant I have some cash in the bank to play so am adding a few extras lol. My daily commute ruled out the petrol ones :-( Cheers Alan

You'll only end up with sunburn in the carribean and the pirates might take the money anyway :-) Got to be worth the deal on that though. Good luck

Can't help with the buying guide but you get so much for your cash and I bet the petrels are super smooth. My diesel is nice just a bit noisy at tickover (compared to a v6 diesel) Good luck with it. Would check all the electrics as these newer ones don't seem to come up as breakers very often Cheers Alan

Thanks jay. Will keep my eyes open for some 18's then :-) Don't want to go as big as 19's as it might kill the ride. Cheers Alan

Michelin 215/55 17 I think the impreza ones were 215/45 17's that i saw on fleabay :-)

Hiya, Am thinking of getting some impreza wheels for the outback (the multispoke ones) but wondered if I would have issues with fitment. Mine has 17's on it at the minute but the tyres are a higher profile. Any advice greatly appreciated. Cheers Alan

Made the front end look a bit nicer Will do until i can get a spare grill and make a jdm version :-) Cheers Alan

The Ferrari engine sounds like it's playing a tune to itself at times lol

It was a good day. The cars sound crap though. They are ok on full throttle but part throttle or overrun they sound like a scalextric car. The gp2 and gp3 cars are louder! They brought one of the old red bulls out for a demos and when coulthard nailed it your ears bled! Awesome. Good fun though Cheers Alan

Nothing coz I've been at the formula 1 all day :-)

Thanks guys all signed up :-) Cheers Alan

Job done and I'm in :-) Thank you to all concerned for arranging the discounts etc. Cheers Alan

Crikey that's a good saving! Sign me up lol

Nice one :-)

Ooh would this cover for the stereo I'm about to chuck a shed load of cash at please :) Cheers Alan

Cheers guys, Got one off eBay so fingers crossed will arrive ok? Cheers Alan

Sound pretty much like what I want. Just a nice sound without too much. Cheers Alan

Ta, Did you get any sender or a specific one? Cheers Alan

That is just stunning. What a drive!!!! The guy is a mentalist though with the curbs etc. wonder what he'll need to get it down under 19mins then! 2017 car could be even more awesome at this rate :-)

Looking forward to seeing how you get on with this one. With me getting the new head unit soon speakers will be the next port of call :-) Cheers Alan

Hiya, Just been thinking about an obd11 scanner code thingy and wondered if I could get a Bluetooth dongle thing that would plug in? If I can get a app can maybe plug it in on the stereo to keep an eye etc. saves having to drag the pc out to the car too? Has anyone done this and what dongle/ apps did you use? Cheers Alan

Very nice motor :-)

Ahh yeah forgot that was on. Looking forward to seeing the pictures from it :-)

Must have seen about 4 impreza's in hull on the way home tonight? Couple were quite tasty. Is there a show on or anything as quite a few other nice cars out and about. Didn't wave as we were in the wife's car. Cheers Alan

Ordered my double din dash kit from hammonds subaru. Just got to wait for it to come from japan now :-) The road to a decent sound system begins lol
