1.6 Non Turbo?

[DallenWRX]

I'll be getting my License soon and I was thinking about getting a 1.6 Non turbo Impreza.

What's an ideal mileage to go for on one of them? Most I can find usually have around 100k etc on them and I don't really want to buy something I'd have to fix constantly.

Along with that are they ready to turbo "out of the box"?

N/a cars are pretty much bulletproof and as long as serviced accordingly should go on for ages,

And no they aren't turbo ready,

Cheaper to buy a turbo when the time comes as it's a totally different set up, engine, box, electronics etc

yup as Stants said

Go for a 2.0 if you can, I doubt it'll be a massive insurance hike and a 1.6 will feel underpowered with awd.

think the 1.5 / 1.6's are RWD only

I do think the 1.6 is actually RWD That's why insurance is about £2k and not more, And MartyC It's about a £1k jump for the 2.0L

@DallenWRX I highly recomend a rear wheel drive for your first car david!!! just think about what we can do to works car park

[martyc]

Afaik imprezas are either fwd or awd, no mentions of rwd unless modified. Otherwise they'd be a !Removed! drift contender
