Subaru impreza owners?

[FinalFight]

I know its a bit stupid asking on here but does anyone own a subaru impreza or know about them?
Always wanted to own one since i was a kid and been thinking about buying one but i havent got a clue what to look for and what sort of prices to pay.. I really like the subaru turbo 2000s and the early 2000s wrx
Any help or info would be great

I've got 2001 bugeye wrx ,,, i see it as a toy really ,,it looks good , sounds good and is pretty fun to drive so i'd say definitely get one if you've wanted one for a while,,, plus you can mod the crap out of it if you feel the need ,

I very nearly bought an unmodded bugeye wrx estate last year. I'd say if you've wanted one since a kid then that itch isnt going to go away.

Do your research - i think pistonheads has a buyers guide and is probably a better place to ask on the forums

Your best ally is patience, look at a few and wait for a good one.

Having said that when I was looking for a porsche 944 I did 2 years of saving and reasearch and then bought the first one I looked at.

Go and have a nose on PH as suggested above, and then, personally, I'd either by off the PH classifieds or try to find a freshly imported example for that genuine Jap feel!

Nice one i will look on there
Haha always the way .. its like when you go to view one and you have a list of checks your gonna do in your head and it never happens.. on the way home you find some sort of problem

Cheers going to check it out.. im worried because my cousin was saying get a jap import but reading online some places say try to avoid jap models because hard to get certain parts ?

I had a version 7 sti a few years ago,traded it for a evo 5,what a difference.
Just got rid of my evo 9 last year.
My advise dont do it
Buy and evo there much better and easier to mod. & eat scoobys/porches for breakfast.
My 9 would eat a gtr..
Uk models poss suffer more corrosion,but if u crash a import the insurance will pay less than a uk car,and i think insurance is better for uk models...forcefulfil2018-06-08 13:09:15

Scoobynet is also a great forum to check out ,,they also have a pretty good buy/sell section.

As for buying an unmodded model ,,, it's very common that folks will mod the crap out of their car & then put it back to stock when they sell it ,, the main reason being that they will get a lot more money selling all the addons separate so it's still a lottery really ,,, although i had the same mind set as you and bought mine stock too ,then ended up spending loads of cash modding it ,,,Haha

There's just something about that boxer engine though - and I suppose I just have fond memories of the MY99 WRX STi my brother had, years back. Jap import, and it was ace.

I went a bit bonkers last time I bought a car - now I drive a C6 RS6 :O

You can fit a cab in the back of it though
