I am currently looking at buying my first impreza wrx. I am looking for a standard uk car with no mod's for insurance reasons.
I will be buying the car from an authorised Subaru dealer.
However, I was under the impression that scooby's were bullet proof but reading
some threads i am now a bit on the nervous side.
I am concerned about engine's going bang & high warranty costs.
Surely a regularly serviced car should last well over 50K these day's ?
Any advice regarding all ownership aspects would be appreciated.
