You will be amazed at the fun and capability a 2.2 Impreza has in store!! I have had 2, and they are great!! And if you take decent care of it, it will last for a long time!!! And like I said, you can do a lot to them to make them look great, and go pretty good too!! And then in the future, when you get some money saved up, you can do a turbo motor swap!!
