Hey Shakkas

Congratulations mate..
I have previously thought about the WRX hatch but settled on the Honda.
Well enjoy the car and keep that turbo revving coz thats what its designed to do...
I must admit the interior of the WRX could have had some better styling
but thats how they churn them out.
All the best and safe driving..
Maybe post a few pics when you get it..

yea i must say euro interior shits all over wrx. But now i can finally put in one of those gps/dvd/bluetooth units in without wasting a screen or anything like that.

now have to wait 3 months for delivery. sighs
def will post some pics.

Congrats on the purchase, they are a tried & proven small sports sedan. Just keep an eye open for hidden cameras. I must say they are in a completely different class to what one would would consider as opposition to the Euro. Enjoy it when it comes & stay safe.

Yea it is in a different league. The insurance was an eye opener but I had prepared myself.

I loved the Euro but the pinging drove me insane, plus i had few incidents in it (none my fault) in less than a year.

Congrats on the purchase. I'm considering selling my Euro as well.

Just realised that we could make some money from selling our euro... Have u seen how much they sold 2008 std auto now? $32k with 12k kms on it!!! thats how much I paid when I bought mine!!!!

[shakkas]

yea the trade in i got i nearly dropped my jaw to the ground, wasn't expecting so much. I think cause Honda have increased their prices and they got factored in. PM if u want to see how much i got for it.

Im glad they didnt take it for the test drive so they couldnt hear the pinging

[shakkas]

Congrats on the purchase. I'm considering selling my Euro as well.

yea minus all the problems and I would still keep it. Thought to myself try and get the best price for it now while it is still relatively new.

you thought of what to get? get wrx with me

Heard from the dealer that 2010 model / 2009 build will not have the pinging problem. They have delivered at least 13 in July, none have any problem. Also, they mentioned that a campaign is being carried out to fix the pinging problem for existing CU2 owner. (Is a one by one phone call by dealer)
Will wait and see... update you guys when I get my 2010 model in few weeks time.
