Ive been going to buy an impreza turbo for a while,
but i have been told they a horrendous with fuel,
how many miles do you get for a full tank, how much does it cost to fill it up,
whats the best one to go for the uk spec or the wrx import
i am going to spend about 10k what can i expect for it

 

23 MPG on a old shape UK car, decat, Tek 2; including the redlined test period to check out fuelling and air in 3rd and 4th gear.

 

24/5mpg ...93 wrx no mods 28mpg if i crawl round

 

I get about 20 ish ,full decat. not gona be good

 

from what I know, imports are faster but use superunleaded, which is more expensive. insurance more expensive. Dealers dont like you buying parts you need a uk chassis no. but dont be put off parts are freely available. you will get a nice car for the money. There are so many to choose from.

 

How much to fill the tank, how many miles will it go before the next refill

 

UK car - approx £40 to fill tank (SUL), 230 - 250 miles on average to a tank.

 

Depends on type of driving really.

I struggle to get over 200miles to a tank, but my driving is almost 100% fast b roads. If you do motorways a lot I imagine you could get 250-300 per tank. (If cruising at higher motorway speeds though e.g. 85+mph, I find I still get 200miles per tank)

BTW UK cars also prefer SUL / Optimax (few pence more)

 

can anybody give me an idea of the cost of general servicing parts e.g cluth, plugs, filters

 

Service every 6 months or 7.5k, which ever comes first. Minor services come in at £120+ and major £400+, just don't ask about the 90k service

 

Plugs are only changed 60k same type as most cars , Air filter about £6, Oil filter £5,I run fully sinthetic so you can pay whatever is your choise of oil. Cam belt not cheap £120 before fitting, Services intermediate are realy just oil change. Brakes, you need good quality I just bourght ebc fromt £42.50. I find you can carry on spending on goodies etc.
