I have to disagree with all the chav comments. What makes anyone so superior to anyone else that we can brand anyone in such a derogatory way?
I don't think anyone was implying that all Impreza owners are chavs. The problem is that now the older examples of the Impreza have fallen in value enough, they are falling into the hands of, shall we say, less responsible members of the public who tarnish the image of the car with their anti-social behaviour. It's not the cars fault of course, but the image of the chav laden with gold chains and a Subaru being screamed around a housing estate are almost inseperable for many people.
You can pick up a working 20VT for less than the price of an Impreza, but you don't seem to see anything like the amount of idiots driving them, so they don't suffer from the same image in that sense. Just the "it's a Fiat and will therefore be crap and fall to bits" image.
