does the subaru impreza wrx tr use premium fuel?

And do all turbo engines use premium? I was thinking about getting the impreza 2.5i (non turbo).

You're just increasing the risk of detonating the engine running a less rated fuel. WRX's are known to ping quite easily, and I suspect it's just because it's a turbocharged car with a higher compression. If I could, I'd run premium to be safe. If I filled up with 87 or a octane rating, I'd do my best to keep the least amount of load on the engine possible.

It is better to use premium,but you can get away with regular unleaded.You maybe sacrificing some power or performance tho.
