2008 WRX Hatchback
Ok,
So I sold my my05, couldnt afford the repairs. I now seriously want a 2008 WRX Hatchback and yes, I have done heaps of research but I want to hear from people who actually own them and drive them daily. What are the Pro's/Con's of them? I know the '09 is better but I cant afford it at the moment The photo attached is one I'm interested in at the moment, not sure if the previous owner is on here, would love to hear from them. I've been told it was a Girl that lived down Forrestfield way?

They are ugly, slow from stock, and built for hairdressers. Anything else you need to know?

When I had my old car (was a daily driver into the city) you noticed how much slop there was in the body and gearbox.
Torque was nice and early with the TD04, I believe Mitch had his tuned with an exhaust and said it was a massive improvement over stock. If you go down the path of owning a MY08 I would recommend wider wheels (MY11 fit nicely) and fixing up the suspension and gearbox slop. Besides that they aren't a bad daily.

Alright to be clear, If I could find another WRB MY05 SEDAN in my price range I would OBVIOUSLY buy another one. Otherwise the only other model I will settle for is MY08.
The dealer has told me that one has apparently got a TBE & Tune, aswell as aftermarket air intake and a few other goodies I'm going to find out about on Saturday. Please do not ever mention buying a bugeye in this thread ever again. Please.

Oh it matters. It definitely matters. No offense, yours looks clean . But they are hideous.
