It's the second shape. Known as an 8p. They take a bit of setting up to get right. They're are quick just no good for family as a 3 door. They are a lot of options, think its going to take some time to find the right one. Again thanks for your input

My current car is an audi S3 and running 385 Bhp but the initial drive is pretty poor with a lot of under steer when pushed hard. Takes quite a few upgrades to get things right. A few guys local to me have Imprezas and the sound is awesome (this is what is really making me need a subaru). Are they permanent 4 wheel drive? Based on your response Matt I think I'll sway away from the 2.5 litre and look into the 2.0. What does the jdm mean?

That kind of clears things up. Is there a lot of tuning potential across all variations with simple bolt on modifications. I think I'd tend to be looking to get close to 400 hp. Again I don't know if this is achievable. My car isn't far off that power at the moment and don't tend to want to go backwards however if the car is set up nice and provides good drive ability that is then the main priority

Thanks for the quick response. Yeah definitely turbo Impreza, I don't personally think I couldn't not have a turbo car. I may have got the years totally mixed up. I meant in regards to Hawkeye, and the variations named similar. This would be my first venture towards jap cars. My current car is only a 3 door and pretty fed up of the tedious work of getting kids and out the back so looking for something 4 wheel drive, relatively reliable, fuel consumption no real issue as it will only tend to transport the Mrs and kids about.

Hi all, new to the forum and looking for some advice and purchasing an Impreza. I don't really know much about the cars as there are many variations. I'm looking for something between an 06 plate through to 09 plate. What are the most common things people look for when buying?? Any help would be appreciated. Tom
