Im only just 17 tho so that might explain why? Only have one years no claims on the fastest production bike in the world, that was 1300 per year insurence! so i thought the turbo subaru would be about 3/4K

You're JUST 17 and want a turbo Impreza

You may require a tub of this for insurance purposes...

2004 PPP STI was around 19 MPG, 2008 Standard STI is around 17 MPG... if you have to ask you probably can't afford to drive it.

I was just wondering what the difference between my sports bikes and a sports car...
I'll end up getting a convertible in about a week, but then in a few months i'll be bored with the slowness of a 2l bmw and i'll get a subaru.
If you think its a load of then i don't really care, the only way i can proove owning these is if you come round and see for yourself, pm me and you will get my address as i love making people look like TW*TS, yes the diffrence between 35mpg and 25mpg is a couple of quid in the 1st couple of tanks, over a year it could mean 700-1000pounds more, my adverage mile per year is 1200 a month, so you work it out.

As per my original post, petrol would be the least of your worries.

May I ask how you would plan on insuring a turbo Impreza at 17?

Oh i wish i was a mummys boy, my mum can't afford **** all, I have been bought a moped in my life and that was it!!

I have owned over 15 motorbikes, i buy cheep, and sell high, so far its worked out well enough to buy myself a bmw 2.0 convertible, insurence for a subaru 2.0 turbo for me is just over 2100 pounds, a 2L bmw convertible is under 1300 pounds, and get alot more mpg, and for the cool factor i think the bmw wins over a subaru? or maybe not, i'll be owning both in under a year so its cool and i'll find out the mpg andthe driving feel of both for my self

I hat the way i mencion im 17 and people start acting weird like oh hers another wanna be, or hes just a *****r, well thats fine, don't you wish you had what i have at this age? jeliousy is a horrible feeling isnt it?

Subaru never be for economical driving(and good for insurance),but who buy one Subaru,never be without sounding nice sound of flat "boxer" and i hate this talks about MPG(if you want car with good MPG,buy C1 or other crap).

(My gut reaction say's afternoon PSL)

8 posts and already calling names and getting all big and mighty - wind you neck in grow up a little. Your attitude suggests you are not really mature enough to be driving any car. Why not stick to your mopeds and make a million and buy a Ferrari at 21 - they'll love you on the Ferrari BBS


Oh and buy a dictionary - it is a book with a lot of words in it - usually spelled correctly!

I'm wondering exactly what you have at 17, you are clearly not educated and have no social skills. I also suspect that your 15 motorbikes are saved on your Xbox drive. Jealous? I think not.

This is the the lovely message that this Scooby Net member sent to me by PM. Very nasty piece of work. I've had to alter some of the swearing as I thought it might get blocked and I wouldnt be able to share his words of wisdom with you.

the thing with this guy is he has come on here giving it the big i am, i dont doubt he has a nice bike, i have respect for bikers i myself own bikes, the problem is when i hear about young lads who lie to their insurance company about restricting a 175bhp motorcycle to 33bhp it really gets my goat, we all have to pay insurance and we all have to be truthfull with our insurance or there is no point in having it, when i see young guys working hard to buy a nice car and doing the right thing by taking the appropriate tests and paying for the insurance i am most impressed. i am not impressed by kids who take short cuts through life, driving nice cars or riding nice bikes is a privlige that has to be earned, it is not a right! rant over!

you dont do yourself any favours, just be carefull with your attitude mate, its not what you say it is the way you are saying it, whatever car you decide on good luck to you, lets cut a long story short, the impreza is a great drivers car, sure its a bit thursty and it is not cheap to insure but get it on a nice twisty back road and its alot of fun.
