Default I've spun a 360 on a round about

Hi. I've just bought a 2004 impreza 2. Non turbo blobeye, it's been have traction problems on cornering and going around round abouts, it spun out of control and I found myself facing in the opposite direction to my embarrassment! . Every corner I go around its like driving on sheet ice!
I have been getting a banging from the car when going over pot holes but not over speed bumps. I thought these car were supposed to be grippy? .
I'm at the stage where I'm coming to a corner and just creeping round it for fear of it flipping out!
I'm having the drop links replaced on Monday will this help?
Please help if you know what's going on with this car!
Thanks

Pictures of the car,with today's paper and you wearing your wifes pants on your head! Or you're a liar.
I think the clue is in when you spun around,facing the opposite direction but did 360*

Hi no, I did look at them but there too far away, it's a local garage I'm having the drop links done by tho! The seller was a company in Hull. I've not had it long, taken about 12 rides in it!

If it has check your alloys are not shaped like 50p's and your suspension wrecked they usualy do time trials up and down the drive, loser has to make the tea for the week.

I bought a rb5 and it had cheap tyres fitted just to sell it. Also the rear shocks were knackered and I ended up facing the wrong way on a roundabout too. lol. Id say tyres was the biggest factor but the rear shocks wouldnt have helped either.
