P1 like all Impreza's if you take your blinkers off are very capable cars. Not my cup of tea but if it's what you want then good for you and I hope you'll be pleased with your new toy

I've thought that for a long time mate, usually just after they get them featured too, see loads of ad's at the end of feature's!

Good luck with the sale of the S2 tho Mark, you won't need it as that car is truely mint!

P1's are ok as long as you leave them alone otherwise m8 ending up spending 30££ big ones on his and it was never on the road for longer than 2mths at a go and most if NOT all of the cossies in our circle used to blow his doors off on the run.

ps it's YOUR money so buy what ever you want m8

Only downside is fair enough youre getting a newer car cheaper, but if you own it a few years it will be like all other Subarus, worth fook all so the money you saved in the end you have wasted in the long run. Thats how is see it, but im selling mine so what the fuck do i know

Good choice there m8

But as stated above start fettling with them and they all seem to go bang. Know of a couple of lads and one had 3 engines in it's 2 year life while he owned it.

Scoobys are ok (if you excuse the modified beetle engine) BUT...

For every cossie on the road, you will see 50 turbo imprezzas !!!!
