impreza virgin
Hay all,
Just joined as looking for a impreza 05/55 wrx/sti have around 7.5k to spend so want the best spec I can.
So just wanting opinions/suggestions ect. I don't want to join the 300 club....yet but was looking at the sti as it has a standard good power output.
Is the box/diff/internals better built than the wrx?
I've never owned a turbo car I must add I currently have a 320i m-sport what I'd be looking to sell or trade in to make most of funds. Also have my project of 7 years it's a pug1off built 206 gti tuned N/A engine so I've done my fair share of tune ups in the past so looking for a Daily drive what has some punch and of course is going to be reliable.
Thanks in advance guys.

Can't beat a bit of banter lol, anyways just had a quote for flux.... £2000 I actually lol'd down the phone managed to get one at £420 so happy with that.
Cars I'm going to look at are wrx 300, standard wrx and a sti all around the 50k on the clock fingers crossed.

I'm surprised we seem to be so up-competitive for you. Is there any chance you could PM your details so I can take a look at it to see why?
Regards,
Dan.

I'll be in touch mate as I've had some even cheaper quotes as I've been with you guys for over 8 years and come up with a £2000+ quote I'm a bit miffed.

If your not looking to go down the tuning route I'd go for the wrx 300. Same power as standard sti but lighter car, this doesn't go down well but it will be the quicker car up to 70.
If planning tuning or track days get an sti.

If he wants to pay more for the slower car up to the legal speed limit i have no problem, that's total fine.

I am looking at both sides of the coin a wrx with all the trick bits (cheaper option) or a standard sti (more expensive) I do want to keep it standard..ish for now due to keeping the insurance down for the 1st year to get used to the car and get experience.
