Its Now official; I now own a Subaru Impreza Sport Owner
I went to view the car last Saturday in Telford, Shropshire. Looked over the car inside and out. Did a HPi and Accident report on the car. All fine.

This morning, Saturday 20th May 2006, I had a 6 am start (left house at 7:15 am) and drove to Telford to pick the car up.

>> Here she is >>



I have not stoped smiling since I got in the sport this morning at around 10:30am.
So there is now another scoob in Harpenden and there will be two in the drive
Shes a 2001 X reg '555' plate Impreza Sport
Done 54k miles.
Im the 4th owner.
Panasonic mp3/CD player
17" alloys (not sure what make) shod in Toyo Proxes T1-S.

She drives very nicely, handles well. it got a 'just bit' more power than my astra . I love it.

She needs a good vallet, probably do that in the week if its dry, then ill post pics.

Beffor any of you ask, Yes I have for a list of mods I would like to do to her, but I need a Job to pay for them.


Cheers
Darren

Thanks mate

I Sold my Astra about 5-6 weeks ago. So getting behind the wheel again of a car was nice.

My insurance is really cheap try £658 and a few pennies for FC with 3 years NCB and im 21. Thats the truth!

Reading this made me think of the question "I wonder how many of us started off in a Sport?".

Quite a few judging by the comments in this thread (and I did as well).

They are from the normally aspirated Impreza range
Your looking around 120-130bhp depending what phase engine.
