Somewhat belatedly I found the importing Imprezas site and it was full of useful stuff. Go to
http://groups.yahoo.com
and take it from there.
The cheapest places I believe are Belgium and Holland. Belgian cars come with a 3 year warranty supported by Subaru Belgium; not sure how this goes down with the UK dealers.
There are a couple of brokers that can help and seem to be recommended by people on the site keyring-cars.co.uk and litchfield imports.co.uk (I think). There are others as well. Use the search facility and you should find good stuff.
Be careful about mods on an import - PPP is not at present covered on imported cars - again use the search to find.
Also have a read on WRXBobs post in here - looks like it may be worth following up.
I've got a Belgian 2001MY and am well pleased. Why pay IM £5k for the prividge of a UK car?

Hi Mate
you want to Speak to Gertjan in Beijerland, Holland!... He is THE man!
We are going there 6,7,8 Dec to pick up our new beast, If you look on general there is a thread. Come along and check him out!. They are the cheapest and the nicest to deal with IMHO!
mail me if we can help, we can set it all up for you!
Cheers

If you decide to import yourself rather than through an agent like I did from Holland last year. I used an inland dealer as i was told that port dealers had cottened on to us Brits buying our cars abroad (don't know if this was true). I also fixed my currency with www.hifx.co.uk but, as from January 1st when the Euro is in full swing this won't apply.
Hope this is of use.
