New here, have some nooB questions;)

*I did do a search for 2 hours, but didn't yield any positive results*

Hello, I currently own a 1992 Toyota Mr2 turbo in Japan and I am re-locating to Germany in a few months. I will be buying a car either here in Japan and taking it with me, or I will buy one from Germany. Basically, my query is this, does anyone know any information on the WRX (1992-5) or the Legacy GT-B wagon? I know the Legacy wagon has the twin turbo 2.0 with around 250hp, but I don't know how easy they are to modify, work on or how they handle. As for the WRX, I really don't know too much about them, but my wife and I have somewhat decided that the WRX would be the best choice for an all-around family car/grocery getter and also could be taken to have a little fun out on the Auto-ban. I don't have too much money to spend on a car, but I would be looking at the earlier versions of these models, nothing fresh off the lot this time! Thanks in advance for your replies I am eager to learn about a new car, but just need a little knudge to get started!

I don't know a lot about those model year WRXs as they were never available here in the US. You might check out www.scoobynet.co.uk. They have all the cars you're looking at (maybe the Legacy but I dunno) and should be able to better answer your questions

the legacy would be cool just because there was never a TT subaru offered in the states (not sure if there was a EDM TT legacy, but still pretty cool none the less). the downside to this is with a twin turbo car, its exactly that. if you ever want to upgrade anything, you have to buy twice as much stuff. my buddy with the TTZ is always *****ing about how he has to buy 2 turbos, or 2 bovs, blah blah blah...

id probably take the wrx. lighter than our current wrxs, and probably has almost as much power...

Yeah, I was thinking the same about the WRX, also about the TT Legacy! I was thinking it would be heavy too (1530kg? I think). They are a little pricey for me though right now, I can find a decent WRX for a cheaper price and I think it would be more fun than a wagon on the Auto-ban
