    Saw both of these types of vehicles today in forecourt of garage, both 2005 reg.
    Out of curiosity, which one is better??? Mondeo seems very quick from its stats.
    I have a WRX petrol, if i had known there was a diesel id have bought one :mad:

    I didn't think there was a diesel impreza til 08. Did a wikipedia search and couldn't find an 05 diesel and definatly not diesel wrx. Do you have a link to the car?

    Just did a carzone search
    http://www.carzone.ie/search/Subaru/Impreza/WRX/200928194574026/advert?channel=CARS
    is this the car? Mywheels.ie is saying it is petrol. Dealer put it up wrong on carzone

    i have a mondeo st tdci, imported it from england in august last year. its my first diesel and i love it. has alot of toys to play with, standard airbags, abs, cruise control, electric seats (not all models), climate control, a/c, large boot, lots of rear legroom, nice handling, looks pretty good compared to other mondeos (mine is a 2005 but before the last update) and best of all nice engine. there is a forum called stdrivers.co.uk you can check out and ask any questions you want and you should get them answered for you. i have only had one big problem with mine and that was the alternator which went last week but that can happen at any time. if importing from the uk or NI then make sure you get full mech check and history check before parting with any cash. also the road tax is a bit high over 800 euros so thats also a bit of a downside.

    hope this helps.
