Thanks man. A WRX is a 5 speed right? I'm not too fussed about super luxury, I used to drive 2 landys and a 1996 legacy! The only thing that would bother me comfort wise is noise. What are they like on long journeys? Does the exhaust note drive you mad? Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Thanks matt, what are they like for long range comfort and day to day driving? Reliability?

Hi all, so I'm new round here, but not to car forums etc. So, I currently drive a 2009 Octavia VRS TDI hatch which is lovely. It's quickish, practical and frugal. However, I've had it nearly 4 years and I feel like a change. A faster petrol powered 4WD change to be precise (don't want an Audi)! So I'm looking at late gen 2 impreza saloons (I don't actually need THAT much space) and I'd be willing to spend £5-6k. Firstly, will that get me a decent late gen 2 STI or similar? Secondly, what are they like to live with? I used to have a 1993 legacy, so I know Subaru interiors are pants. What are they like to drive every day and to commute in? I do the odd long trip on motorways from Sheffield to Wales etc, so what's that like? I also like working on my own cars too. Now I know they're a bit thirsty, but realistically, how thirsty if driven normally, ie most of the time? Thanks all!!
