I've currently got an MG ZS180. I've had it a few months and love it to bits, they're great cars. I've always wanted an Impreza though but now I've come to look for one, I've realised there's a lot to learn about them.

I'm after a 5 door UK spec car (turbo) on at least a W reg (so I can put my private plate on it).

I've got no more than £6000 to spend in total on the car so will I get a decent UK spec car for this? Are there any standard faults to look out for on these cars? Also, I've seen a couple with engine rebuilds at around 75000 miles so is this quite common or is it only if they've been rallied to death?

Any comments\advice appreciated

first bit of usefull advice, dont eat yellow snow

right now thats out the way lol

best bet sort out an insurance quote to start with, make sure you can afford that before you go looking at impreza's

I didn't bother getting a quote as it was only one insurance group higher than my MG... just rang my insurance company and they can't quote me on one because I'm 23

It's only a little more powerful than my MG so I guess there's other factors they take into account.

I could get a new quote but I'd lose my NCB for this year and would only get a 40% refund so it's not worth it.

Thanks for the advice... i'll be back on here when I can get insured on an Impreza

your lucky you got away with it, few people have come on and have found out the same but already bought the car.
