Hi.
I am looking to buy my first scooby and am slightly torn. The Classic 2000 Turbos are a much better looking car than the newer shaped WRX, so i am unsure which way to go.
Any advice on 2000 Classic or 2001 WRX?????
Thanks

Personally I would look for a mint, low mileage classic, probably an RB5 WR.

Don't go for a Bugeye WRX . I did and regretted it very soon after.

All IMO.

I would defo go for the classic imo.

Would you not consider a classic STI?

Is that an import?
I have been warned off imports for parts reasons????
I am open to advice. Just looking around at the moment.

Yea import impreza's are totally different to the uk versions......

its the same car for gods sake...... parts are no harder to obtain at all

All of the classic WRX's and STi's are imports, there are UK spec Turbo 2000's, RB5's and P1's..

Parts are the same.. other than a few tiny variations (window tints, etc.) but insurance companies are just PEENARSES..

to be fair I'ed be more worried about an import car because theres a HIGH chance its been clocked.

is that true?
i did not know that

And my tupence worth.. The classic WRX and STi are faster cars, however you'll pay through the nose for a immaculate example.. Personally I'd go for a UK WRX bugeye as they are peanuts at the moment and throw a few hundred quid at the engine.

Classic - quicker cos it's lighter

Newage WRX - better built, better interior, safer.

S'up to you !

I almost bought a 22B but went for the new age STI instead because you simply don't have the interior refinements in a 90s car we have come to expect. but it is really down to what you want. If I was buying a racing car I would have picked the 22B every time over what I bought.

Classic all the way
