Jaysus lads, that's some mother****er. Can I have one of these please.:rolleyes:

Mr. Wong

Window wipers would be handy.

Where did all the levins come from, the fto's, most of the wrx's, Celica's, evo's and almost all high powered Japanese motors? As far as Japanese cars sold new here went, 1.3 Micras were rare, 1.6 sunnys were decadent and 2.0 primeras were positively outrageous (maybe the 2.0d was ok, but no high powered petrols). Even if they bothered to sell them here, nobody would buy them new, grey imports (including UK sourced) would outnumber native reg'd models by 10:1 or more within a few years.

Whys that sz on a 96 reg plate?

No thanks
As nice that it is it Shows nothing of what the wrx stands for and what Subaru are famous for
Couldn't put tht thing on a rally course

I want to dislike it, but I can't, it's a corker of a car. But to be fair, it looks nothing like an SZ. It isn't even in the same class.

Christ they won't even bring the Polo GTI to Ireland, what chance they'll bring the cream of the crop Subaru-wise

Technoprisoner

Not many out there can afford the 2 grand a year road tax on a 2ltr petrol then throw vrt on top..... The Irish government have taxed these cars out of existence... Just like they did with super unleaded and just like they did with bio diesel

Off topic, but thanks to this thread, Alfa Romeo SZ was added to my lotto list.

What is the story with super unleaded 98 RON? I was wondering why it is not being offered here?

It's nothing to do with tax, there just isn't sufficient demand to make providing it worthwhile.

Viper_JB

Oh my....I'm not normally a fan, especially of the more recent efforts....but yes please!

Someone posted that Ireland won't get them because Subaru UK don't want them, why are they deciding what Ireland gets?

the only refinery in ireland is only capable of producing 95 ron... the irish government taxed 98 so heavily that the oil companys stop importing it into ireland

I always loved the Subaru untill they messed it up with the tiny hatch back.

That new model is my kind of car. Also loving the new Octavia VRs which I wish they would have made 4x4 also in the older models.

I love that they went back to their Saloon roots. Those hatchbacks were a step back indeed.Now we need a good old Sportswagon! :P

Don't know what street you pay your tax on but mines 710 a year for 2L petrol

CianRyan

Only sensible option, import a JDM one!

have you tried taxing a 2ltr petrol car that was produced after 2008?
