Hello
I am looking to buy an old shape Impreza turbo asap.
I want the one that came as standard with the 4pot calipers and the 215BHP engine, but if possible the nice 5 spoke alloys as well.
Am I looking for an MY99? If so when did these first appear, late 1998?
I believe the MY00 was the model that had the nasty multi spoke alloys, is that right?
Thanks for any help.

Steve,
Have a look through www.sidc.co.uk this should give you details of spec changes on model years etc. You could then look through www.subaru.co.uk for used cars. You would find a private purchase cheaper than a dealer but make sure the car has a full history and a warranty as these can be extended by new owners in most circumstances.
If you find anything that takes your fancy ask here for advise, we're all friendly

Welcome
Yes, the MY99 is the one you're after.
(Think it was August '98 when the four pot calipers where introduced - check sidc/faq though.)
The six spoke wheels (the ones you don't like) are on the MY00.
When I went to look at my MY00 at the dealers, I didn't like the six spoke wheels compared to the older 5 spoke ones.
I've grown to like them now and actually prefer them to the others, but each to their own.
