from 1993-2000, The shape most people associate with imprezas. A WRX will be an import as the uk classics were called Turbo 2000 AWD. Newer shape imprezas are all known as WRX/STi

How about going for a higher-mileage newer one? I sold my MY00 UK classic with 93k on the clock for £6k.

Yeah, as theyre more powerfull and mainly because the parts will be harder to source in the insurance companys eyes.

Well with all cars you have a comeback when bought from a trader, and as you arent that clued up on them maybe that would be the best way to go??
