OwnersClubs
Given the cult status that the car has achieved on a global basis, it is not surprising that a number of owners clubs have sprung up around the world, with owners keen to get together and communicate their experiences of owning a Subaru Impreza. Some of the better known clubs are listed discussed here. If you know of any others, then please add them to the list with contact details. SIDCAbout the clubThe aim of the Club is to create a forum for sharing knowledge of/experiences with Subaru Impreza's, to improve the buying power of individual SIDC members, to ensure that servicing and vehicle maintenance standards continually improve, to encourage the development and manufacture of aftersales products by the establishment of a market, to organise social events for Impreza owners and their families and to encourage the improvement of members' driving abilities. The Club charges an annual family membership fee of £35, and is a non-profit making organisation run by enthusiasts for enthusiasts. About club eventsAdvanced driver trainingMany people will tell you that they are not very good at tennis or golf or windsurfing, etc., but not many will admit that they are not very good at driving. Rally driving coursesDrive-It-All at Church Enstone near Oxford, give SIDC members a 10% discount on their excellent Mintex Challenge Course. The Course is a one day serious tuition day, spent in Group N rally spec Toyota Corrolla's (16v rear wheel drive). Group attendances are planned and if enough people want it, they can supply Group N Impreza's for us to do the Course in, although this option is more expensive. WRC EventsWe make annual trips to the Network Q Rally of Great Britain and the Catalunya Rally. (The drive down through the Pyrenees is spectacular, as was the countryside in the Catalunya National Park).We have also arranged SWRT trips to Germany, Finland and Cyprus Track daysThe Club organises mant track events across the country ona yearly basis.
