Seems pretty standard, has a decent aftermarket stereo, speakers and sub and perhaps exhaust? Has a nice note to it!

Things to fix include:
- the leather around the gearstick and hand brake
- silver stereo/ac surround looks terrible, might do with a sand back and new paint
- said surround is not clipped in securely to the dash at the top (behind the orange display)
- orange display could do with a new screen
- unsteady idle

I must say driving it back from the coast i was most impressed, pulls like a train in pretty much any gear, sooooo much easier to drive than the wrxs I was initially looking at. And, who can say "no" to heated leather seats? :P

Hope to see you on a cruise soon! :)

Nothing much, just has some vertical lines where i think the LCD display is starting to fail. Not any great hurry/need to fix it :)
