hi all ,my name is brian and i currently own a civic type r and a self build seven style roadster i own a garage workshop in glasgow and until recently have always run alfas .I am interested in buying an impreza wagon/ estate (not sure what is correct term)and want as close to 300bhp as possible as power and traction are what i fancy now.I joined the forum to get a better understanding of imprezas as there seems to be a wide selection available.My main queries are regarding ride quality ie soft,hard or in the middle as most use will be on the public highways and also weight figures for 2006 hawkeye models ,also are the 270 limited editions worth considering.thanks in advance Brian.
