Subaru Impreza Forum

Hi, everyone.

Been a regular visitor to the civic type R owners forum for a while and was told about this site tonight.

I have currently got a (DONT LAUGH) Vauxhall Zafira GSI Turbo, which I actually quite like, however the wife has agreed to let me trade it in for something just for me.

I am actually taking Subaru's offer of the 24hr test drive this saturday and I am hoping I love the car as much as I think I will. I do like the Type R also but as yet havn't driven one of them.

Let you know how I get on at the end of the weekend.

Thanks to you all for a great welcome.

Newie, would like to brag and say i'm taking out an STI, P1 ect but unfortunately I will have to get the wife a car aswell, (she said a new shape MICRA will do). So decided to take out a standard WRX, as thats what I will be looking to buy. Robinsons in Rochdale, and Ridings and Co in preston have a couple of used WRX's. Will be looking for an 03 or 53 plate hopefully. Anyone have an idea how much I should be paying.

Running costs are on par with the Zaf, as I only average 26 - 27 mpg on average, but are there any other hidden 'nasties' to be aware of.

Hope to be contributing more to the site shortly, and from what you have posted I can't wait to get behind the wheel.

skylight · 23 Nov 2004, 09:23 PM

you may notice a little less on the mpg when you first jump into it as you will want to give it some :P

Im averaging around the 22 mark at the mo and have 04wrx totally standard etc.

Its blue so goes faster anyway :P

:wink: (to the rest of you)

you may be lucky and scoop one for 13k but could spend upto 16k ish ? prices vary wildly :? :wink:

Good luck

Other nasty bit to look out for is insurance! so shop around :wink:

Tescos, and L&v seem to come out the best (sure there are one or two others that can chip in with other companies)
