I have my eyes on the (non-WRX) Subaru Impreza AWD ...

BWAHAHA! Check the fuel consumption figures for those two. You *can*
squeeze a little more mpg from the 2-litre turbo by tootling gently
around (and where would be the point in that?), but once you put the
hammer down, those highly tuned turbos guzzle fuel at an alarming
rate.

Isn't Tat in Oz?

Yes.

He could be talking of the non-turbo version, which doesn't drink.

Yes I was, see my other post.

Fairy nuff, that's a nice motor, and not as slow as you'd think.

Do the Ozzies give 3 quid to the government for every gallon of petrol?

I think there is a levy on a levy for petrol here ...
unleaded petrol is currently AUD$1.00 to $1.20 per litre ...

Grrrrrrrrrrrr, that's about 40-48 pence, just a little more than
*half* what we pay in the UK.......
