Default 2003 WRX POOR STARTER?

I have a tracker fitted but has not been registered and some1 mentioned this could be the problem. If left overnight the car wont start in the morning.
Before i was able to leave it for a few days but its happening more frequently. Any ideas?

My MY03 is getting worse at starting and I reckon it is the battery - four years is about time for it to go.

Many 2003 cars have had problems with the battery including mine. I've fitted a Bosch 6DA from Costco which are approx £42 now and no more problems. It doesn't help that the Imprezas use a smart alternator which doesn't charge unless you have lights or something else on. It's supposed to give you more engine power or something like that.

I got my '03 car at a year old and it already had a new battery in it.
