I use Comma G30 Xstream concentrate 5L in my blobeye, you can pick it up from Halfords for £22.99 but make sure you get the concentrate as the ready mixed 5Litres is the same price

I've used halfrauds own brand. Just make sure that the coolant is the correct spec. For imprezas it should be OAT coolant.
