Don't live in Rochdale but I usually see the odd scooby around there when I go to Robinsons. I can recommend them for servicing (they give discount for SIDC members).

Don't under estimate the Sport m8 - join the SubaruSportsters club at yahoo groups
There's more Sport drivers than you think and many aren't standard either!!

Being a Rochdale chappie I have used Robinsons and are a pretty good set of lads, very helpfull but their cars are expensive. Mines from there and is in the For Sale section if anyone fancies it. Having a turbo myself I cant see the attraction of a Sport but im sure they're as reliable and good to drive as mine, its £6000 by the way.

Trundle around Shaw/Rochdale/ Milnrow a bit.

Robinsons, top men. Can't fault them at all. Servicing prices are up on the wall, or they were til they knocked the wall down!!

And are far more reasonable than many I have seen quoted on here.

Refurbishing/ed premises to super duper standard.

I owe them a tenner. If you pop in give it them for me will you.

The good thing about the Sport is the insurance is a lot cheaper and that includes every mod under the sun on them!
A modded Sport with uprated suspension will quite easily give a standard UK turbo a run for its money so to speak on the twisty bits if kept in the powerband...but obviously, the turbos got the edge on the straight and narrow. The other good thing, due to the lack of BHP, you're less likely to loose the back-end - so I'm informed anyway!
All-in-all, Scooby Impreza's are the dogs danglies regardless of model
