New here looking for advice

[Rmc]

Hello all! Im new here and hoping for some advice from you please. Im looking into the 1.5 imprezas just now as iv not been driving that long but really want something reliable. My first car (seat) was bought through family recomendation has been a nightmare and im anticipating some repairs needing done which im not really wanting to do. 4wd really appeals too as im driving alot of country roads. Iv seen 3 in my area an 07 plate old shape and 2 57 plate new shape all around 60k miles and all between 3 and 4000 quid. One has had timing belt done. Any advice on what to look out for and would you say they are really reliable?

Thanks in advance
