Welcome Chloe-i sell scoobs for a living(what a job eh)several of my young customers find elephant or bell direct the cheapest for insurance,in terms of day to day running costs i.e. fuel there is very little difference in real terms between a sport and a turbo(ruby will tell you about economy in a sport-not!)with your budget you would be looking at a much newer sport,new age bug-eye car!It tends to be a minefield out there so a dealer is always going to give you the most comeback(ANY DEALERSHIP).Ive owned imprezas for the past ten years,advice,buy 1,as you wont regret it,even if it is a sport,its a starting point,and at least when your budget allows you can trade up.......dont waste time on here get yourself out and buy one......NOW!!!
