Default Driver training

Im looking to go on some sort of driver training course before i get back into my impreza, to learn how to drive one properly, i also want to learn how to toe-heel, control skids etc

Has anyone been on a course that would do this - preferably in an impreza?

Andy has an Elise you can hire.

If you take into account tyres, brakes, and a service then it's a cheap option.

WHY? by doing it in your own car you will learn how the car you drive every day feels and handles. to be honest i dont see the point doing it in an elise as the charectaristcs will be different to your scoob. even the differences between a classic and a newage will be noticable. i would say do it in your own car. my brakes and clutch are fine although the outer edges of my tyres are not in the best shape they are still fine and can be used on the road.
but its up to you mate at the end of the day
