Default Imported or NOT?

Hi there, am new to world of Subaru's, just bought our first one, i bought it as an import, but have been told by a few it is UK and is doesnt have rear wash wipe, fold in mirrors KPH dials etc, but does have indicators on the right hand stalk. Any easy way to tell?
Thanks

Could be a parallel import. i.e. a european import they are the same spec as UK

Oh just read that indicators on right... not sure to be honest

What age?

i have an 95 import

the indicator stalk is indeed on the right
folding electric mirrors ? not sure about UK

the rear seats dont fold down on imports they are bolted in, on my 95 anyway

also on my95 they are 260 hp not UK 240hp
mine still had japanese newspapers and some fishing hooks in the boot oh and a flare under glove box which i asume is standard as theres a little bracket for it lol

check the rear lights also, no rear fog light on import ( again only know my 95 )

Early UK cars had Indicator stalks on the right, think that changed in 98.
