Hello everyone. 

I am a first time Subaru owner.

My entire life, I've only ever owned Fords. I still own a 93 Bronco, but since gas for the Bronco was costing me $240 a month, I figured that was enough for a car payment. I've always liked the Impreza hatchbacks, so I decided to go for it.

I just purchased a 2013 Impreza Sport Limited Hatchback. I couldn't spring for a wrx, but I love it anyway.

I am big into modding my vehicles and I'm discovering that after market parts for my Subie are damn near non existent.... I'm ready to take on the challenge though. I am glad to have found this forum to help me navigate Subaru ownership! It's all new to me.

Nice!  May I suggest driving it around for a few months then looking for a good basic tune.  It could really wake it up and make it fun to drive and waiting to do it would make you appreciate the difference that much more.  Have fun!

Grim, there will be quite a bit of suspension stuff available for the car. You might check out www.nasioc.com

a tune may help a little, but the turbo cars can benefit most from tuning.

at www.subaruoutback.com, there's a user west_minist that has tuned several folks' cars. he has a website, http://xtremeracingtuning.com/

if you want to mod for offroad, plenty of folks here could help with that.

Suspension is where the best bang for buck will be in mods for your Impreza. A tune might tidy up the power delivery a tiny bit to your driving style. There should be small changes that could be made in the tune that’ll change the feel of the drive. 

Cheers

+1 on upgrading the suspension. It will make driving more fun.
