New guy, help!
Hi Ladies and Gents.
I'll try and keep this short. I'm a biker, I have 2 bikes, a sports bike and a Supermoto. My better half and I have an Audi TT but we need a second car. The main reasons are I want to tow my bikes to track days and we need to get the dog (and future child) in the car.
I'm looking at the Imprezza Turbo Estate, is there anything I need to look out for?
Thanks.

Avoid an Import
Avoid a Modded Car
Avoid an older one than a MY99 - they got much better in 1999
Avoid the hideous Bug-Eye
Avoid an Impreza that has been tracked
Avoid Gay Gold Wheels (or get £800 knocked off to fund some proper wheels)
Avoid an Impreza with more than 2 owners
Avoid an Impreza without a FULL UK Service History
Abide by the above and you will be onto a bargain - certainly a wagon is a MUCH MUCH better secondhand proposition
All IMHO of course

Ditto,
99 Green Turbo estate best car I've ever owned, including Sti Type UK and current MY05 WRX SL with PPP.
Would love another just for track days...But i live in the real world 'almost'.

Nothing wrong with mods as long as they have been done well and by reputable specialists
MY99 onwards were better spec both uk and imports
Bug eyes - some good bargains out there and better built not quite as fast due to extra 150kgs
How you would find out its been tracked I dont know
Gold wheels down to personal taste but they seem go enough for the SWRT who know a few things about impreza
2 owners
I know a three owner car and immaculate owned by 3 sidc members and has full prodrive kit Yep I would look for a full history car
All IMHO of course
