Anyone know why No Wrx Model avaliable Uk/Ireland?

Did a bit of digging around and the JDM WRX is 174g co2

So should put it nicely e in the 710 euro a year taxbracket :dance:

And the same aplies to a Forester XT Turbo or any other model with the FA20 engine in it from what I can tell.

Its amazing that they never brought this car to Europe if they did they wold have been affordable to tax in Ireland although the UK Forester is 197g co2

Not sure why the U.K. version is 23g co2 more than the Japanese Forester,could it be the engine map on the European cars.t.g.v. ,secondary air pumpson U.K. variants or what I wonder.

Anyway mabe these will start coming in as imports over the coming few years and be the only viable modern Subaru You can import due to the 2350 a Year tax on the STi from having the old ej20 engine.

WRX Model code checked is DBA-VAG(wrx versions not STi variants) like the link below
