Fat Thomas - Do you think you invented internet trolling?
It is so 2007.

Now **** off and let those of us that actually enjoy talking about the Impreza carry on in our 'scabby' little world.

A more sincere question - why do you own an Impreza? - answer truthfully!

Because the deal for a GTR fell through due to him living in cloud cuckoo la,la land, that and the fact they don't except magic beans at the Nissan dealerships.

And I thought you was alright too!!

Nice colour How do you compare it to your Subaru's?? And have you took it on a long journey yet??? Drove mine from Walsall to Ellesmere Port(90 miles) and did a whole tank of V-power petrol tanks on them are so small.

I drove it back from London and it didn't break.
I like them , had most from the 5 up....
Same as Subaru though...had most of the ones worth having
They all break , but for under 10k the subaru's/evo's are good fun for the £'s.
Fuel.....I never think about it , ford transit as a daily drive so if I waste £50 on a weekend it doesn't hurt

I get asked the same question which do you prefer Subaru or Evo, but you spend money on modifications on either car and will become better then the other in speed/handling/braking, and they both have 4 doors, 4wd, cheap, and cost loads in petrol/insurance so it just comes down to personal taste.

its not based on whether some tool in a wrx got to 60 faster or it went round a track 0.5 slower or anything other than the fact i like it!
Tom, which one would you prefer, RS OR CS400?

I never said finance
I wouldn't buy a 'new' car, I buy used cars (newish) and yes I can't afford a 'new' car too you're right I could easily afford on on finance though like the rest of the world but I choose not to.
The current car is 2010.

Well you seem pretty knowledgable about cars! What modifications have you performed and what was the reason behind them? Do you love your car?
