Hello! After much thought, and a failed attempt with a BMW328 - I am looking to buy a used, pref low mileage unmodified Impreza. I have had a look at this site, and can see there are quite a few models.

I'd be looking to spend between £8 and £9k, and would want a 2.0 Turbo - this is where I seem to lose just how many different models there are.

I understand they are all 2.0 litre and all full time 4WD. Is there a model history that summarises car , model name and power output etc etc?

Also, looking on pistonheads.com there are about 270 for sale, which is quite a lot, why so many for sale? Are people fed up with them? Would I be buying someone elses problems?

This would be a second car, so fun use, possible trackday etc.

Appreciate any help.

Richard.

But to answer your question, try looking here Subaru Impreza FAQ

It has plenty of details about the UK / Import models, and special editions etc.

 

20mpg, and at any minute HMG could increase the VED to £2k

SIDC FAQ

edited to say "Too slow", but you get the idea.

 

Cheers for the responses. I guess I am looking for the classic shape. The car for sale posted in this thread is a 3 door version, which I have not seen before, so this is the kind of thing I am looking for, like a data sheet that has model, year, doors, power etc etc...

Ideally looking for UK car, dont know why, just seems a sfaer buy - althogh I guess they were all built in Japan anyway?

 

If you're only after a UK car, it will be a Turbo 2000. Not wrx, not sti, not type-r etc. They will be 4 door (or 5 with wagon).

I would personally consider JDM (japan import), but not everyone wants one.

 

mine is for sale Turbo 2000, but it is modified ! dont know if it what you are after but take a look !
