depends what u r after.
I do like the 22B they look lovely, and apparantly drive extremely well, and also has a wide-body, 2.2litre engine and is one of only 400.
I have not driven a P1, however I own an STI IV Type-R Coupe (now not really one of them anymore, but once was) and I loved the car - was much better than any 4-door!
I guess it is all down to personal taste, but I would always go for a coupe, as I just think 4-door, is a family mans car, and I am too young to have one of them!

22B fantastic car but not worth the extra hassle compared to my second hand STi 2 BRD development wagon that is 75% as fast for a fraction of the price
One famous 22B Hobbit was even considering fitting P1 suspension to his 22B for the "UK tuned suspension" I await that project with interest

What is the current damage to 22B EGO then Anders?
I presume to do with this criminal... not Bin Larden...
Hope you get it sorted and sorry if you have been through this story many times, or quite possibly would rather not discuss it.
Cheers

PS: Back to the subject... if you can afford a 22B then why as the question.. it is without doubt the legend and best Impreza ever...
so far anyway... any plans for a 22C or something?

22b engines are physically very strong because they have closed deck blocks.
The rods and pistons are the same as any other sti.
Only difference is it uses 2.0 heads but the bore of the 2.2 is larger and the standard heads are unmodified. This gives a sharp edge in the combustion chamber which leads to a hot spot, whihc promotes det.
This emans the car is more prone to det.
people seem to think the car is therefore weaker but since there are roughly 380 left in the world in tact, you are more likely to hear about failures. I dont think statistically they are any worse than any other impreza.

Guess it all depends whether you're talking import or UK-spec, and mileage/condition.
Autotrader has them ranging from £28K (57K miles) all the way up to £38K (2K miles).
