I've been saving my money for a while now, determined to own my very own Impreza. WEll, now that I have enough moolah for the down, I have a few questions and would appreciate any help given. I checked consumer reports about Impreza reliability, etc. and aside from '02 on up, the best looking models are a '98 or '00. I can't afford anything better than a '00. So, I've been trying to find out everything I can about all the models. What's the difference between all the models? What's the upgradability look like? I plan on leaving as little as possible, under the hood, stock. I want to make a sleeper, so I was also wondering which model is quietest. Basically, I'll eat anything you throw at me. Thank you.
