Same as any other car on the basics,oil cap removal,check for headgasket failure etc,check the water level/colour of it is a good indication of the care its had,rusty or the blue/green etc it should be
r:e being an impreza, check for piston slap when cold,not a major problem but it needs to go away when warm.
if it has oil pressure gauges,check to see reading correctly
listen for big end knocks
blue smoke etc on hard acceleration
check the exhaust exit for oil deposits,should just be sooty.
being a uk car check the rear arches for rust
stuff like that
