Rod1 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Hi, I'm Dan, 26 and live in the Derby area. I'm looking to get myself in my first Impreza in the next couple of months. I thought I'd join so I can educate myself (with your help) to avoid buying a rough one. I look forward to picking your brains and in future attending any meets you may be holding :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaine19 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Just jumped into a scooby for first time my self. Loving it so far 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod1 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I'm after a 1998 on UK turbo for a couple of reasons, firstly, I like to tinker with my cars.... A lot. Lol. And if I got a higher spec STi/WRX I'd feel bad about ripping the engine out. Secondly my insurance would jump from around 400 to closer to 1000 which is more than I want to pay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Classic shape WRX wagon would be your best bet I think for keeping the insurance cost down, I know a few people that have wagons over the Saloon for cost reasons. Worth giving the clubs insurance a try should save you 20% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod1 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 I've got a budget of 2000-2500 would that get me in a wrx wagon? I'd rather get a good UK spec than an OK wrx. I'm quite wary as I know the impreza has a reputation of being thrashed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 if maintained well spirited driving is no issue - look for comprehensive history in fact your budget would get you this wagon which has some Prodrive options which you dont normally see - well priced at £1500, that would leave you enough to perform some tweaks to personalise http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/6063-scooby-prodrive-wagon-launch-control-no-lift-shift/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod1 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 I'm not 100% struck on the wagon. I prefer the look of the saloon. But it's definitely something to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
