Hi guys.

It looks like I will be in the UK from Aug 31 to Sept 8.

I was wondering if there was anything going on (will be in manchester area), or if there is anywhere I can rent a Impreza turbo (really want to try driving one once).

Thanks.

HI THERE
You may well struggle to find an Imprezza Turbo on anyones rental fleet. There may be a specialist sportscar company that does one although i have not seen one yet. Might be worth putting a post in the 'Northern' area of the events section to see if there is anything on. You may get luck and get the offer of a drive although do not forget that it is grim up North.

Good luck

Where are you from?

How do test drives work in the UK?

In canada, you can just walk into a dealer and take a car out basically.

Do i need to normally book ahead there?

Thanks.

Depends on the dealer, but booking ahead does no harm at all, neither does trying to sound wealthy . (But don't tell them you are resident it Canada)
