If you had up to 9k to spend what impreza would you buy? Also are the newer shaped impreza (bug eye etc) more robust than the classics?

You will have to give us more than that.

It depends what the car will be used for.Commuting, family car, track, or a combination?
Also, is insurance a factor and reliability and is performance going to be a major factor in your choice.

Reliability is a big factor. The car will be used for commuting but not major miles.

I paid £9200 for my Litchfield Bugeye STI last year!

Just fancied the newer look of a Bugeye over the Classic.
