Longest drive was only about 9hrs though (inc lunch / fuel stops). Didn't have any issues with my mates WRX's either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody clean car. A guy(his wife) owns it and has two kids. The car is totally stock and I went over it with a fine tooth comb. I checked every where for crash damage/ repair work. Even inside the fuel cap. No probsTook it for a drive and its obviously a bit firmer to drive than the t. I had no dramas with the seats but they sure hug you a fair bit more than the T. Interior is very clean too and its also got a Pioneer 10 stacker. Comes with new tyres and log books with receipts. In jan this year they spent around 1500 on it for its major service. Its only got 85k on the clock. So what ya reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
