Hi guys,
I'm currently driving a 97 Civic VTi which will be sold in a month or two and I'm looking at buying an Impreza turbo of some sort. There's so many different models its difficult to pin down precise details on them, even using the search function here. The one I've been looking at is a Jap import 2-door coupe, Type R STi5. Can anyone point me in the direction of a website which gives precise spec on these models?

Many thanks

Gaz

The STI Type R's are the best scoob (price/performance) - that's all you need to know

BHP (depending on who you speak to) is around 276BHP

0-60 should be around 4.2 to 4.5 seconds IIRC

They are certainly the best 2 door scoob.RA is a 4 door variant which has lighter panels albeit marginal over a type r.If your after a 2 door scoob then you cant go wrong with a type r,they are very affordable now seen some for under 9.5k

Do those 2 extra doors make that much difference then?
