RSLee Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Hey all, Joined the forum as it seems the best place for advice! :) I'm currently looking for my first Impreza. I have seen a few on various sites, but the ones in my price range (£4k) have pretty high mileage, like 80k plus. What are the engines like? I'm not after a heavily modified car, no 300 brake and uprated turbos etc. My ideal model is the 2L R Sport Hawkeye. Im also trying to sell my current car, a 2012 Renault Sport Twingo 133. So when that sells, the hunt is properly on! So really it was a hello, and a bit of advice on potentially buying a higher mileage Impreza.

stants Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Hello & welcome, 80k isn't a massive amount if it's been cared for properly, many if us are well last 100k now, Prices fluctuate massivley, so I'd go see a few at different pieces just to get a feel for what's out there, The 2L engine is pretty bulletproof, if you went for a sport there's not a large amount of modding that can be done to make if faster, most sport owners go for aesthetics and handling upgrades.

GeoffLeggy Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Welcome! I wouldn't worry about a 2.0 R Sport with 80k on it if it's got a full complete service history. As Stants says a lot of turbo'd older cars on over 100k. Mine just gone over 100k running 280bhp stock and more in last 4 years . It's all down to regular service. Hope your French shoe box sells soon and you find a good Hawk. Have a good look round the forum and ask away if you need. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
