Oil temperature readout on the dash? What gauge, specifically, are you talking about?
For what it's worth, newage Imprezas aren't fitted with an oil temp gauge as standard, but they do have an outside temperature gauge. Are you sure you aren't reading that one and getting a bit confused as to its purpose?
If it is a proper oil temp gauge, then no, 12 celsius is nowhere near normal, assuming the car is fully warmed up.
Where does it say oil temperature? It's always possible that a previous owner might have repurposed the display somehow, but the number you're quoting clearly sounds much more like an external air temp than oil.
