if you dont want to stick with the impreza

R32 GT_R skyline for 10k
most tuning potential
easy atainable 450bhp
4wd supercar
low depreciation once they get to 10k


thats the quickest in your budget anyways

if you only want a impreza then sti up to a v5 for 10k

Two doors or 4? Sounds like you want a STi Type R or a 4-door STi. They both fast as hell, and have all the bits. You'll probably want an STi5 onwards as they look more up-to-date with the big rear spoile
