Default Newbie wants help!

Hello forum users!

I currently own a Nissan 300 Twin Turbo but I want something with four doors. I reckon I will have about £6000 to spend and preferably would like a UK car but what would people recommend? Bearing in mind I am concerned about reliability. Thanks.

Edited to clarify my query is related to which Impreza to go for.

What about performance compared to a STi?

If it has PPP then the performance will be similar to an STi, a little slower but easier to live with.

A UK '99 or '00 turbo with Ecutek & sports cat should give about 260bhp and be reliable. Just avoid badly modded cars and you should be OK.

my 95 uk was putting out 256bhp, 220lbs with full decat & pipercross panel filter.

just fitted a subachip off scott.t so should be nearer 280bhp and hopefully better torque which is what i wanted.
