I'm an ex Subaru owner and scoobynet member.
Many moons ago I owned a 2002 bug eye wrx which was succeeded by a 2003 blob eye STi PPP both in WR blue.
Cracking cars back then.
Which is exactly why I've sold my car. As a home worker going forward I have no need for it, we have two other cars in the household I can use if needed.
Cash put aside ready for another car if I ever need one, wouldn't dream of buying at the moment with the artificially high prices.
I sold an Audi TT to them last night. Got £800 less than what I paid for it 19 months ago at a main dealer, a deal I couldn't refuse.
Whole process only took around 20 mins.
No idea what it costs and tbh from what I've seen so far it's not that much different to stock.
The thing with the YouTubers is apart from a couple ie TR hamza most don't really thrash the cars, they spend more time posing on busy London streets hitting the dizzy heights of 20mph.
Heads up for those curious about the mk8 power, Archie Hamilton is putting his dyno run on YouTube tonight.
Should be interesting to see the figures after the drag runs.
