Any input on 95-01 Impreza's?
 
I'm looking into getting an older Impreza (95-01) as a daily while the Miata get's built. I know about the head gasket issues starting in late 98, and some of the other basic stuff covered in the NASIOC FAQ but I'm a bit of a Subaru noob. Are they even worth the time?

They're great. the 98-01 coupe is one of the most sought after and favorite year among the scoob community. lightest, perfect for wrx/sti swap, and an excellent daily IMO

GC8 coupe is my joint

Cool thanks for the input fellas. I'll try and track down a decent one, I agree though, the coupes are pretty dang cool.

Search YouTube for "IMV Films, subaru" or "the ru" or "IMV Films Gymkhana spoof" if you want testimony to the toughness of non-turbo Subarus. :D

Best looking car Subaru ever made...

IIRC there was something about the early 2.5RS and the later one (one was SOHC and one was DOHC) and I read something about some issues on the SOHC versions...but nothing major.

Thanks for the input guys. I bought a '96 Outback Sport for $800 with 150k on it today. It needs an 02 sensor and a wind shield but it's remarkably clean other than that. Should make a good daily.

But yes, you're all absolutely right, GC8 coupes are pure sex.
