The RS has landed

@baz-2

The dealer wouldn’t budge and we had to pay unfortunately.

It came down to a case of, if you don’t want the car, then I can find you another 1 at the higher price lol

To be honest I put all my points across and I still couldn’t get it though to them, and rather than have a massive row, ruining the day and possibly leave without the car, we decided to pay and leave.

This is clearly a dealer you won’t get anything from and the car won’t be going back there again. But I’m not going to let this spoil the experience of the car as I truth once I was on the road I’d put it to the back of my mind.

@jason – Thanks very much mate, it was only ever going to be Blue for me : )

@Bobcat – Thanks mate, much appreciated : )

@S10lucky- Thanks Steve : ) it is you isn’t it ?

Im sure yours will be with you soon and believe me, it’s worth the wait mate. Have they given you a collection date ?

I think compared to the Impreza,  it’s a much better all round car (I never thought I’d say that). But we’ve been in Subaru’s for the last 20 years and this car is a breath of fresh air. I think it will be a lot easier to live with as an everyday car because it just feels smoother and quieter on motorways and around town, but when you get it in sport mode and give it a bit of right foot, it just takes off. Although it doesn’t give you the kick back in the seat feel that the Subaru does when the turbo kicks in, but I’ve heard that once you fit the FPM375 pack, you get thrown back in the seat a bit more. We haven’t even had it above 4000 rpm yet. Going out in it again tonight to try and get a few more miles closer to the magic 1000 mark and with any luck we should be there within the month and then we can really test the car a bit more.
