As Saint says,there's quite a few of us that meet up in Warrington so keep an eye on this forum or alternatively,get yaself down to Mainland Subaru this weekend as there's an open day and you should be able to organise a test drive!!!!

Good luck

Nick

Thumbs up

I too am looking for my first Scooby soon and I've only ever been a passenger in one Impreza briefly, so don't really know what they're like. I know I was sat there grinnig for the couple of minutes I was in the car and it did sound awesome, but that's the sum total of my Scooby experience.

My mate had an Evo VI for about 2 years though (now sold) and I'd been in that a lot and I've driven it a couple of times too, but it was running about 350bhp at it's peak and will be a completely different drive to an Impreza.

Wouldn't mind coming to a local meet (or whatever) to see some cars, speak to people, ask advice and hopefully get a passenger ride in a couple of different variants?!

Will definately be a normal UK car first, as I can get insurance very cheaply now (26, 9yrs NCB, clean licence), then maybe graduate to a higher model.

Have been looking on here and in AutoTrader to see what sort of car I can get for what sort of money.

I have just recently bought a house (3 weeks ago) so I will be waiting a couple of months or so before I even think of a new car, need to buy bl00dy washing machines and furniture for now!

Will be pestering you lot soon though...
