WRXagon

yikes.....maybe ill just leave it in place!

PS whats the plate called under the boot lid? mine is faded and it would be nice to get a new one

It is a great car and very quick! It is considerably lower geared than my WRX and witht he extra torque it is perfect for the b roads I drive on. Great car, very pleased.

Yeah I know its a bit steep but wanted to test the water as its not modified in any way. When I was looking it took me 6 months to find one that didnt have a huge tail pipe on it and various air filters etc. Happy to take a hit on the price but wanted to see what was what. Thanks for the feedback, might leave it this week then roll it back a bit next week.

Yep, here you go! It does have a slighty funeral vibe about it but I have never consider this car for its looks more for what it can do....a true all rounder and I love it

Hi All It is with a heavy heart I am selling my WRX Bug Eye Wagon. Though Im very pleased with my new Fozzy so that has helped! http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201704184537642?make=SUBARU&advertising-location=at_cars&onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly New&onesearchad=New&postcode=bn84lp&price-to=4000&radius=1500&zero-to-60=TO_8&sort=sponsored&model=IMPREZA&price-from=3500&page=1 It is totally standard apart from a new stereo and I think thats fairly rare these days. I would appreciate any feedback on the ad or price to be honest. I know this is a nice forum so happy to take peoples pointers.

Hi All I have been lurking on here for a while as a Bug WRX Wagon owner but that is now up for sale and I have just picked up a lovely 2007 XT PPP which was apprently fitted by the guy who invented it at Prodrive...am confirming details on that one! So far so good, handling a little more sloppy as expected but it pulls like a train and the added creature comforts are very nice!

OK that puts further confusion on ha ha. Does Mr B know if the post facelift is the more powerful engine though? are there any other factors involved?

The blue one is clearly post facelift and as such I would guess has the 257 engine and the extra few horse power too.

Here are the two im looking at...they have different grilles so one is a facelift and probably the newer engine...but which one? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201702252679845?maximum-mileage=80000&model=FORESTER&transmission=Manual&radius=1500&keywords=XT&make=SUBARU&postcode=bn84lp&onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=New&sort=price-asc&advertising-location=at_cars&page=1 http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201702011874790?advertising-location=at_cars&onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=New&make=SUBARU&keywords=XTen&radius=1500&model=FORESTER&maximum-mileage=100000&sort=price-asc&postcode=bn84lp&transmission=Manual&page=1

Right the owner has got back and it has the EJ255 not the 257. Now i need a Fozzy geek to help me out here and let me know if the compression was changed for the 257 and so making it the faster engine? Its a 2006 car but clearly running the older engine as I suspected.

Thanks, this is the 2.0 I will be going for the 2.5 which should be around 5.7 0-60 which is the same as my wagon. What i was after here is someone who knew the difference between the 2 specs and the key things to look out for to tell what engine model it was. Now I just want an STI ha ha

Ha ha....they do look amazing. What are the stock stats like?

I dont think I can even slightly afford an STI so looking at about £5000 for an XT

I was hoping so. It's a big step to move away from the Impreza but I need a bit more space and something a bit more suited to bikes, kayaks and kids...but with lots of power! I hear they understeer a bit but I can live with that. I just dont want to get a slower engine through something as silly as not checking the specs.

Hi all I am currently and owner of a WRX Wagon but will be selling to get my self a Fozzy. I wanted to see if anyone on here knew a little bit more about the spec changes betwene years. I understand post 2005 the compression was changed and generally the engine was made better. I am looking at a XTen and not sure if it has the same engine as the XT. One difference on the advert is it has no plastic engine cover which makes me wonder if it was a late registration and has the old engine. Also, in terms of spec is the XT or XTen higher on the list? Im not over fussed with an old sat nav system that will be out of date but I like the idea of a good sun roof. Is there anything I should be looking out for when looking at one? Also.....last little question. I have kept my WRX totally factory standard but may treat myself to tweaking the Fozzy a bit. Are there are re maps available without needing to add a lot of new parts?
