OK.. newb here! hello everyone!

i've looked at the tryin' to find out as much as possible about the superior machine that is the impreza. Found some good info.

the thing is i'm selling/trading in my '98 Civic 1.6VTi 3dr to get an impreza but i'm unsure which to get. I'll have anout £8500 - £9000 for one and i was wondering which would be best for that kind of money. Love the civic but it just hasn't got that awe factor.

any good info, advice appreciated! look forward to owning one of the almighty cars!

import or uk?? imports can be higher spec and quicker but insurance is higher uk2000 turbo 215Bhp wrx 240bhp sti 276bhp (on 100 ron jap fuel) depends what you want hope this helps X

check insurance quotes first it could make the decision for you

i'm thinkin' WRX or STi.. not too worried about insurance. There's a place near-by that sell a lot of imports but there's that many variations it's all a bit confusing.

Anythin' i should look out for when buyin' one, common problems etc.. don't want to buy a banger

www.gmimports.co.uk is the place near-by.

(i've already checked insurance on imports, wrx, sti etc.. should be fine)

No such thing. STi5's are MY99. If this particular car was registered in 1997, it's either an STi3, or an early 4. If it's on a P, it's almost certainly an STi3.

This looks like it could be just what you need. You probably won't find a nicer example and it's got all the mods you'll need.

And the sooner you buy it, the sooner we'll get to see what this guy's getting next

if i had the money sittin' i would snap up that RA, sounds good.

it'll be atleast a month before i'm ready to buy but hopefully something like that comes up then! don't know if i could live without electrics though, hmm.. maybe i could!

JohnnyR6

Defo go for a STI, speak to andy at japanese vehicle sourcing (powervehicles.com) He can import you one for a lot less than say, calders.

Leviathan

Dont worry about all that electric this and that sh!te you get used to it, trust me, been there!
If you did end up with an RA, you would be to busy grinning all the time to worry about an electric window or lack of a vanity mirror on the passenger side visor!

specialx

eh my sti aint got a vanity mirror!!!! was hoping for one with a light in it so my passengers can see the effects of g-force at night! lol
