FD2 to FD2R price difference during new is like 70k. That is a large amount gap for someone who can afford an average C segment car like FD2. FD2R can only use RON97. Petrol bill cost might be comparable with other performance turbo engines that uses RON95...
Er, want WRX but don't want to mod? Probably those are the ones who went for auto WRX because WRX got auto while STI only have auto beginning from Version 10...
I saw those 1.6 NA selling 2nd hand at mudah before. Version 8. That cost like 40k or below. Hehe, quite cheap but it doesn't feel right to me.
There are many normal NA Impreza at singapore. They seemed to like it.
BTW, you're not a mechanic when you are at MI, are you?
To most Malaysians, Subaru especially blue coloured ones means it is some fast car or something like that. You bought this sure go out kena cucuk by random people. The sad part is, when kena cucuk, this car can't fight back.
