hi i have been on here for a while but not really posted i am looking at getting an imprezza but the imprezza sport as i still want to be able to afford to run it comfortably as we have just had our first baby, was just wondering what are everyones thoughts on a sport model?

many thanks scott

 

i have been looking at one with 109thousand miles on it has it got plenty of life in it aslong as its maintained regulary?

 

Hi, there are a few sports around where I live, nowt wrong with them in my opinion. Still Impreza, still AWD and just as reliable as the turbos so I wouldn't let the mileage alone bother you really. I think there is an aftermarket exhaust manifold you can get that gives you a similar exhaust note to the turbo'd cars too.

Just make sure its got service history, check when the cam belt was changed, condition of bodywork / gearbox etc as usual with any 2nd hand cars make sure you test drive it to see what it feels like on the road.

My 1997 STI is close on 100K miles and still going strong, there are probably many on here that have travelled further than that

 

cheers matey will give it a good going over when i have a look at it
