whats the going rate for a 2L hatch not the 2.5l.. I wouldn't mind one (if I can sell my blob sti) bet it depends on what the go for

It's jdm only therefore rare and expensive

yeah I thought the 2.0l were jdm...does that go for the wrx too

If I were to sell my 20th anniversary I'd put it up for £18,000.

I thought they would fetch good money, I couldn't justify a 2.5l especially with the tax band. and the fact of my budget being half that price haha

Tidgy

Hatch sit and chuck decent rids and pistons at it and away you go

powerwrx

iTrader: (11)

pardon?

Tidgy

Doh! did it on my phone lol

should be, chuck pistons and rings at it and away you go lol

adamroutley

Yeh, just get a forged one. Surely all the hatches fall into the higher bracket, even imports as the tax bracket now goes on registered date??

Tidgy

No imports are different I believe

**jay**

Why would you "chuck piston and rings at it" subaru built the jdm to last, will happily run over 450bhp and take abuse all day long(unlike the watered down 2.5 crap they gave us, yeh lower tax band too

fat-thomas

iTrader: (4)

I think the import cars are not in the 450 tax bracket

ide be hard pushed to find a jdm hatch for 9k though I'm sure

The 2.0l JDM cars are lower tax and are better specced.

Just a question why do you want another impreza?
You soon got bored of the last one.
That's why I got rid of mine too but I have no desire to ever own one again.
The hatch Is the same car in an awful shell.
I just don't get it
There are far better cars out there nowadays

powerwrx

iTrader: (11)

agreed there are some very nice cars out there but will I be happy in one, I don't know. the hatch has grown on me I must admit. I moved away once and found I wanted to come back. yes I bought the blob and now I'm selling, ive had it 14mths.

Wouldn't swap my 2.5 for a 2ltr as its been properly built lol

Just a question why do you even come on this forum if you don't want another Subaru?

I have a forged hatch and with a few handling tweaks it's an awesome car!

fat-thomas

iTrader: (4)

Lots of people dont have or want another subaru but still use the forum.
If ex owners aren't here who answers the questions new owners have??

Benji554

iTrader: (18)

It's good that you and other former Subaru owners share your experience but I don't get your motivation. If I made the conscious decision I was never going to own another, and presumably lost interest in the marque, I wouldn't be on here! I'm not slagging you, I find it odd that's all!

For me Subaru's are well and truly under my skin and I can't see myself in a position where I don't own one (even if it's a second car).

fat-thomas

iTrader: (4)

Everyone's different I guess mine was a second car to the point it was hardly used so I sold it and don't miss it at all.
I still love the marque but I have no desire to own another but one day I might

Back in the 90s I hate a gtir and hated the chav chariot that was the Subaru Impreza. Fast forward to 2015 whilst bidding on Evos at auction and copious amounts of wine I woke up to an email to confirm I was the new owner of 2008 jdm hatch lol.
I think you go through fazes with performance cars

fat-thomas

iTrader: (4)

I think you're probably right the chav element like sioc puts me off ever owning another one but in ten years time they will be long gone thankfully and I may buy another but to me anything after the hawk is not for me

RAGGY DOO

Lol u make me laugh bud. The wife asked if I wanted a Subaru jacket for my birthday. I wouldn't light the fire with one bud. For me the jdm hatch is more of a grown up Subaru for mature owners like myself doesn't have the burble very exclusive here in Southern Ireland.

I'm with you. I hate anything subaru related. I like going fast and this is what enabled me to do that in the most cost effective way at the time!
