You could cheater some years back, by getting a car at 16 and insurancing it at 16 but dont do anything with it, then by the time you have passed your test and got yourself a car you would have 1yr no claims all ready. cant now, i dont think

Pretty sure most Impreza's are group 20, and a killer for insurance until you get to 25. UK cars can be insured for a lower premium, and there's always the Impreza Sport, if you want a low cost solution.
When I was late teens, I went for the Audi Coupe Quattro (the non-turbo one), and did as much as I could to the NA engine (ported heads, cams, exhaust, intake, etc.) and got over 160bhp out of a car, which as standard had 136bhp. Decent performance, great grip AND reasonable insurance..... Happy days....

speaking from experience...
got insured on on a wrx at 21. £2250 fully comp (this is with 2 months YES 2 months driving experience) all legit etc... group 20
got insured on current scoob (uk my99 turbo) aged 22 for £1751 fully comp. via ecar, as they insure upto group 17 for yound drivers over 21, so i fitted the bill nicely.
shop around, but theres younger guys then me driving them about. i have no ncb bonus either.

why dont you go for a non turbo to start with a classic sport or new age GX model.
My mate has a Bug eye GX and it's still quick and looks the same as a wrx apart from the scoop, which you can buy if you really wanted it.

Going to risk sounding like a boring old fart here (am I really 30 today... please make it not happen, where did the years go) but just do a few years rattling round in a Saxo or something first and build up a bit of experience. Please. I reckon if I had an Impreza at 17 I'd be dead now for sure. But then I was a bit of a dick at that age - people are different.

I bought my UK Turbo 2000 when I was 20 and the cheapest insurance I could find wanted about £2200 fully comp, so I waited 3 months til I was 21, and got it from ecar - £1158 Fully comp, and thats with 2 years NCB.
