156 v6 is a fine car. I have owned a couple of saloons and did a 3.0 engine swap on the first I had.
There are a few GTA SWs about but they seem to need a lot if care nowadays and bodywork seems less rust resistant than standard cars for some reason.
Shame no roof bars on the ebay 2.5 v6. I thiught price was a bit steep but noticed its from a trader.
My 1.8 has the Ti leather interior which apparently was never released as an option in UK!!! Full climate control, facelift interior, teledial wheels, roof bars and is in good nick. Well pleased with it!

Conundrum of the sporty estate has been resolved. I have acquired an ugly silver estate with no soul. However, it does have a dyno printout at 346.5bhp, with forged Mahle pistons, forged rods and many more engine mods. It also has Tein coilovers all around, White line front and rear ARB, plus Whiteline anti dive/anti lift kit, AP racing 356mm front discs with 6 pot calipers and much more. Yes, it's an Impreza WRX estate, so not the most popular on here. But remember, I'm keeping my Ink Black Coupé. How did Mrs Pigman take to the new car? Me:- "I've bought a sensible estate with a very rare and lovely light grey Medici Italian leather interior." Mrs Pigman:- "It's not very good looking." Mrs Pigman after riding in it:- "It's very comfortable and much easier to get in and out of." Mrs Pigman looking out of the window:- "It's a nice looking car." I'm thinking she must be referring to something that went by. So, result. Mrs Pigman is happy (Most important) and I have a car that doesn't feel slow after nearly five years of driving 20VT Coupés.

I thought that I'd uttered an unmentionable swear word by buying a Scooby (by the way, I'm not sure who said it first, Mrs Pigman or my daughter, but they've nicknamed it "Scrappy," oh how funny) so at least I'm not on my own. Like the Coupé, they also have a great sound. Never thought of myself as a yob....but....

A Impreza WRX estate wasn't what I expected you to buy Pete so it will be interesting to hear what peoples comments will be the next time you're on the school run I won't be able to hear them. The exhaust is soooooo loud and even louder now it's blowing at the manifold.

The exhaust is soooooo loud and even louder now it's blowing at the manifold. Have you broken it already Was quite noisy when I bought it, but still had 1.4 bar peak boost. Now really noisy and Max boost somewhere between 0.7 and 0.9 bar. Getting it sorted early Jan, but not easy to find a Joe Knight in the Scooby world.

Hi, you're not the only one to go from a Coupe to a practical Subaru Although after 3 years of fun and ownership I'm tired of it and all the NVH. My list of mods are in this thread. I've now moved onto a C-class 3.0L V6 diesel estate. Fast, smooth and quiet. Oh and NOT boring! Good luck with your new purchase have fun and enjoy. The Subaru forum life is definatly a different crowd though
