Problem is for 4k anyone can have 0-60 in about 4 secs!

And the Chavs do and bend them regularly - hence 2nd hand parts are so easy to source.

Theres something seriously wrong there. All cossies are group 20 and a UK turbo is only 17...should be far cheaper. I was considering buying a saph cosworth and compared quotes with a UK turbo sub, and the cosworth was a lot more expensive in every quote! An import impreza would be a different story of course.

I was calling round the other week for a quote on an impreza, cheapest I got was £920 fully comp from a-plan. 26, 4 years NCB, and one sp30 but I do have 20% loading for business use. Bloke at a-plan was telling me about a recent 6 figure claim involving an impreza driver crashing into a bustop full of people which had pushed the premiums up even further for scoobies and young drivers. don't know if there is any truth in it, just saying what I got told.

Still better that the £1400 quote for an EVO 5

Very good price mate especially considering the spec of your car

Ive put my sensible head back on and looking at diesel audi's, bmw's etc but theres still part of me that wants an Impreza after driving my cousins for a week. Not the best cars in the world but good fun

my old man just got rid of his audi, got it new in august and was very disappointed in it from the start, he's had a few audis and felt they are going backwards instead of forwards.... cant see past the imprezas, as you will probably have guessed i'm hooked....lol

Im looking at around a 02/03 plate whatever I get, looked at everything, scoobs, evo, bmw's, mondeos, astra convertible, L200 warrior, lotus elise, civic type R, really can't make my mind up and ive been trying to since before x-mas

Can understand the Impreza addiction, excellent toys to throw around, spares are plentiful and cheap, fairly easy to tune. I'm talking myself back into one again....

mine is an import and did not affect the premium with direct line. why should it? parts are available just the same from UK main dealers or aftermarket places, sometimes cheaper than for UK models.

Sadly the groups mean very little; my last few cars as an example:

bmw E34 540 - group 19 - £450
Scooby type RA - group 20 - £950
MINI cooper S GP - Group 20 - £750
Porsche 928 - Group 20 - Classic insurce next

Surely it's due to no NCB being applied to second policy?

you don't need to narrow it down to an area of birmingham, just say that birmingham is rough and full of thieves
