Welcome, Rafael! I can't comment on the '01 Impreza, since I don't have any experience with them, but I'm sure someone will jump on here. In the meantime, utilize the search feature as much as possible...you'll find a lot of answers. The amount of information here is incredible.

OT - I almost went to Embry-Riddle to become a pilot, but changed my mind and went somewhere else. Again, welcome to the club.

Welcome, Rafael. You might try searching the member Gallery for pics of '01 model Imprezas.

Welcome Rafael! Since you are going to school at one of the motor speed capitals of the world, consider looking for an '02 or later Impreza WRX. Look for one with reasonable mileage and no mods and you'll have a quick, nimble car that will last you a good while.

being in daytona beach isn't as fun as it is said to be, but spring break hasn't happened yet so.

Welcome,

I would go with the early Impreza. I love mine and would probably buy another one.

With the early cars you always want to check for head-gasket problems. Even with the phase II (sohc) problems can happen. Subaru released a tech. service letter about a coolant additive that needs to be put in, make sure the previous owner has addressed this issue.
