I found this STi on contract hire-
Subaru Impreza 5Dr Hatch 2.5 Wrx Sti Type Uk: Contract Hire and Car Lease from £479.41
£479 + Vat for 3 years and 10k miles per annum!

The Evo X is just over £530 per month, but found this on their web site - £450+vat!
Mitsubishi Motors Official Site/Contract Hire - Evolution X

Now thats not too bad!

I have asked for PCP details so I'll see what the residuals are.

Cheers

Tone

I should think you will be ok with residuals on the Porsche, as they have some of the best residuals out of any marque.

I saw a new STI at the ring and I must admit it did look good, after seeing a standard WRX I wasn't a big fan. But still prefer the look of the Evo X. As for driving them I haven't had a go in any of the new generation, so I can't comment sorry.

EDIT: Just looking at their website, i'd personally go for the FQ-330 GSR Manual. Looks like the best deal and it has a proper gearbox.

Also just noticed, they need a run-in check at 1,000 miles. So if you go ahead, try and get that thrown in for free with the package. If you buy a new one that is.

If that's the same as Subaru, it's effectively an oil change, and although they call it "free" that just means free labour, so it costs whatever 5 litres of Mobil 1 is these days...

Quite a lot then I think. What's the going rate? About 13 quid a litre?
