Default Very BASIC questions

Hi everyone,

I've never really thought about Scoobies much. A couple of days ago, I started to wonder about getting an Impreza Wagon. I've sort of worked out that I'd probably like a late Mark 2 - around 2006?

But that's about as far as I've got. To my mind, there'd be little point in an Impreza if it didn't go a bit so, does this mean a 2.5 WRX? What engine options are there? Also, are there different trim levels?

Be gentle with me ... please.

I would say that I would prefer to get a standard model as I'd prefer to do any mods myself - unless there are "standard" improvements that are often fitted.

Thanks,

Peter

Hi & welcome to SN.

All the info you could possibly need to make your mind up can be found within the site.
Be warned though, once you get bitten by the power & modifying bug, it gets expensive

Mark 2? They aren't Fords.

Looking at it that way, a 2006 car would be a Mk4/5.

Welcome to the mad house.

I know, I'm just being pedantic.

Blob WRX wagon should still be a 2.0l, I think.

Well there y'go - it just shows how little I know.

I thought the bug-eyes got less bug-eyed as time went on.

I quite like the 3-hole upper grill ... maybe?

OK ... the face-lifted classic is nice but the hawkeye is the one I'd settled on in preference to the bug and blob eyes ... Am I starting to get the words right?

So, for an unmodified Turbo Nutter B'stard 4WD wagon with leather seats, what model do I look for?

And, I know I shouldn't ask but ... black headlights? Shirley shum mishtake?
