Looking to buy my first suburu
I'm looking to buy a suburu imprezza 2.5 WRX hatchback the 08 model.
I don't know much about Suburus so was hoping if anyone could tell me if i was making a good decision and what the commom faults i should be aware of are? (not that there is any being a subaru)

Regarding the 2.5 hate dont let it discourage you, i had a 2.0 sti for 4 years and moved to a 2.5 and dont regret it at all, much better road car with the extra buckets of torque.
Just do the normal thing and make sure the previous owner treated it with respect etc warming it up and putting decent fuel in, a good way is to just ask them to take you out in it before asking any questions and see if they warm it up before tanning it, if they dont just leave it.
