If you’re looking for a high performance bargain, then take a look at the latest special deal from Subaru. If you’re into serious four wheel drive performance, you’ll be interested by the following:
From April Subaru’s highly acclaimed Impreza WRX and STI Type UKwill be offered with complimentary optional upgrades worth over £3,200 at participating dealers. The free items include the Prodrive Performance Pack, which further improves acceleration, and stylish new 18-inch alloy wheels and tyres.
The Performance Packs, developed in conjunction with Banbury-based tuning experts, Prodrive, adds a reconfigured ECU and high-flow sports exhaust to the Impreza’s already impressive performance arsenal. The 18-inch alloy wheels, meanwhile, give the car a more aggressive, purposeful stance and improve handling and grip.
As if the prospect of this extra equipment wasn’t tantalising enough, the Japanese firm has reduced the retail price of the All-Wheel Drive WRX by £95.
Subaru UK Marketing Director, Kenyon Neads, said: “With this offer we’ve added even more value into the Impreza equation. The WRX and STI are performance-car icons with a seriously loyal following and we hope that the prospect of these free upgrades will broaden their appeal still further.”
Before you Google them, here are the straight line performance figures that will make your mouth water in anticipation of a bit of B road action:
– Impreza WRX (standard car): 6.5 seconds
– Impreza WRX (with Prodrive Performance Pack): 5.9 seconds
– Impreza STI Type UK (standard car): 5.2 seconds
– Impreza STI Type UK (with Prodrive Performance Pack): 4.8 seconds

Awesome car though, just slightly out of my price range at the minute, think I’ll wait a few years till they drop in price.
