prodrive tony Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 My younger bro's got the bug and wants a Impreza turbo as his first car, but I'm not letting him.....(might beat me) So if anyone see's a Sport for sale please let us know......do you think hes better to start with the sport rather than the turbo???

leebo77 Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 Hello mate and welcome. I'd get a sport if I was you - the first car tends to get a bit of abuse. Abusing a turbo could end up in you coming out of it worse off. The sports also look good - there's a couple on here, ROAR's for example looks the nuts. Good luck - keep us posted.

ROAR Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 hello mate, as leebo said i own a sport, ok it aint as fast but you can still have the fun, in it, also change the headers for unequal length and a decent back box and sounds the nuts i have also fitted type ra suspension so it handles better.I am very happy with it, and with current fuel prices the mpg aint bad

TOPBOND Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 thanks Hey guys, found an impreza sport i like its a 1999 an its done 114.000 miles but has been regulaly serviced, do use think it will be ok????
ROAR Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 (edited) mine is a 1998 and its done 91000 miles and (touch wood) still running ok, as long as it has been serviced properly, drives and feels good there should be no problem, check the cambelt has been replaced regularly. is it standard or has somebody been moding it already?

prodrive tony Posted June 1, 2008 Author Posted June 1, 2008 Would you buy a car from a man who spells Impreza as Imprezza??
