Not that type I hope...
What type of Impreza are you after - classic or something a little newer and what kind of budget do you have?
It wouldn't be a bad idea for you to pop along to a meet (one tonight in Cardiff) to have a chat to some owners so that you can find out first hand about the joys of owning an Impreza (ie likely pitfalls, running costs etc).

As Ty said it's a big bad world out there and you need to know your onions. Plenty of advice both good and troll like will come your way but bear this in mind, they are not cheap to run, there are some horrors lurking about, love fuel like Oliver Reed liked a drink and can cost you large sums on insurance.
But we will help as much as we can

A WRX is what can be classed as a more comfortable car than an STi, whereas the STi can be classed as a more focused as a standard car it comes with better suspension, engines, interior, brakes, 6 speed gearbox etc etc.
Just make sure you try out both flavours as it's been known for WRX owners to end up changing their cars for an STi due to the cost of having to upgrade their cars to similar level of specification to the STi model.

Ceri loves stickers, and racing poor Fiestas in Swansea
Dylan is your man for fixing and rebuilding.
Calvin has no gearbox, and an Audi TT (No comment lol.)
