pass the bucket...
2.8 v6 and it still doesnt produce 200bhp, 0-60 in custard and weighs more than the titanic itself.

That's the VR6 engine isn't it? It's nice but don't think it quite meets the 'racey' requirement aside from drinking petrol like a race car. Think I'd still have a Legacy. Spotted one on the road myself yesterday and had a minor inner hankering that I had to talk myself out of.

Very much like the Skidmark 4x4 elegance

It may be timing chain but if its anything all the other vr6 based lumps itll need chain tensioners at some point and they are big dough. Even r32 and equivalent audi's suffer. So dont just buy one thinking a its chain its grand

If you were buying an estate you'd be far better off with a volvo. Much better interior than any VW. You MIGHT be able to find a V70R for around 4k

Passat has all the toys and comfortable interior, and is half the price. Whereas I can't help but feel the impreza would be more reliable, with no VAG sensors and warning lights to fail.
Pickled.

You cannot decide on the Internet. You need to view both and see what they are like, as one may be a dog.
Watch with the UTVdrive site too, as half the cars I called about had been sold, they are V slow updating their website.

Impreza is still there, dropped £700 in last couple of days.
It's had 4 owners and had missed 2 services, but has had belt done.
Edging towards Passat to be honest, estate etc is probably more sensible for what I need. Will go for a look on Monday.

If you are buying the impreza over the passat as you think it will be more reliable, you have another thing coming to you lol
