Thanks for the info buddy it's greatly appreciated. And I know what you mean, if only I had the money to own a P1 or a 22b! Even if I did I think I'd leave that to a much more worthy scooby fan haha. Totally get what you mean as they all seem to be either ragged to death or bog standard non turbo's etc. it would be a second car to the fabia so I'd be putting money into over time! Don't think I could ever part with the skoda as its made some pretty expensive cars look silly whilst doing 40 odd MPG lol. Glad to hear you've got a vRS and I really wanted an Octavia but couldn't quite stretch to the asking price, you lucky sod haha! :) I also agree about the seller too as ideally I'd like to buy one from an enthusiast that hasn't been played around with really! I also love the blob eye shape too but as I'm only 28 with 4 years no claims I thought an older version may be better due to insurance etc! Again, thank you for the advice and good luck with finding a nice STI! Let me know if you grab one as I'd love to see some pictures etc! Take it easy!!! :)

Hi there! Just thought I'd join this forum as I'm looking into buying my first Impreza and would love some advice :) Basically there is that much choice out there and I'm not sure what to look at etc. personally I prefer the older pre bug eye shape but what to go for?! I would have around a 6k budget and I'm wondering if a turbo 2000 would be the way to go? Also is there anything I should be looking out for as to be honest I know pretty much nothing about them with regards to how many miles the engine can do if properly maintained etc. I currently drive a re mapped mk1 skoda fabia Vrs tdi with around 280ft lbs and 170bhp and I'm looking for something way quicker and I just love that scooby sound and it's been a dream of mine ever since I was very young to own one! I appreciate that most people probably won't look at this post but any information at all would be massively appreciated as I'd absolutely love to own one Asap! Thanks in advance, Ben :)
