Default Advice please

Just a little note 2 say hi to you all!!! Im new to this and am looking for some friendly advice. I am yet 2 purchase my 1st Scooby. I am looking for something with explosive power but having owned a tuned pulsar which was forever going wrong I am a wee bit apprehensive about buying 1. How reliable are they? The STI seems to be the way to go, I think. Am I right thinking that Type Rs are imported and how does the P1 affect an insurance quote.Phew! Any advice would be kindly received

I had an STI once. I went to the walk in centre and they said I had noticed it just in time, gave me some cream and told me to **** off
Seriously, Any Impreza not heavilly modified will be very reliable, very thirsty and rather expensive, but in my (and most on here) opinion a superb choice
STI ppp'd would be my recommendation... Do a search for various threads relating to STI v WRX etc... Loads of info on here...

How much cash were you thinking about spending mate ? (To have an idea of what would be available to you).

any impreza will be more reliable than a pulsar!

Andy's right - knowing you budget makes your choice easier

Insurance on the P1 will be less than the type R. Really depends on what you want. I love the P1 but would always choose a good type R over it.
If you want explosive power, then a STI type RA is the way forward.
