The Imprezas were a joy to drive though. Very fast and wonderful chassis. I lived in Scotand when I bought the first one and they were wonderful in the snow. I have a MX5 now which also has a great chassis. Not as fast as the Impreza but great fun still.

The Imprezas are very fast, mind-blowingly so but I was just put off by the tacky gold wheels and the reputation of being the extreme boy racer. TBF, not too many boys could afford the insurance.
The Alfas are a bit more exclusive, and although don't have the outright performance of a Subaru, they never fail to put a huge grin on your face.
Last Saturday we went to Brooklands Museum because they a Auto italia day. Bliss.

The gold wheels are tacky but I am old enough not to give a s**t. The insurance was mind-blowing but before I retired it wasn't an issue. I'm really pleased I owned them because they were such great fun.

PS The Mx5 is wonderful for the money!
How's the MX in the snow???
I didn't like gold wheels or lack of space so got a twin turbo Legacy import ....... absolutely bonkers machine.
Also agree Alfa's are nice ........... to look at.

Have calculated cost of replacing system for insurance purposes, then likewise, had to have a little lie-down.
Luckily mostly second-hand so did not actually pay out anything like the full replacement value (there, that's cheered the wife up.)
