I'm new to the forum and looking for advice,, I'm wanting to buy a Subaru Impreza,, was wondering if anyone had any advice on what model is best for first timer like myself,, my brother in law has a blob eye STI type uk with a stage2 remap that's just evil and maybe in time I'd like to look into doing the same (not necessarily the same model) any information is greatly appreciated 

Depends on budget. Buy on condition not mileage. Make sure it has been well looked after. Turbo models need a bit more tlc but they're not a bank breaker if you've got a good one and look after it. Sti's (the model, not the group of venereal diseases) are more focused but wrx's are very capable and probably a better all rounder as a daily (if you're modding anyway an sti might work out cheaper though). Imports can be more expensive to insure. N/A models can be nearly as thirsty.

Give us more info and we can give more specific advice

Also in the U.K. it depends on whether you can afford the insurance !

I'm wanting to spend around £7000-£8000 to buy the car to start

I know of a very nice uk speck blob sti that fits right into your price bracket !

is it advertised anywhere if so where abouts 

It's a chap on here don't know if he's posted up yet
