One thing i would look out for prior to 2002 model years is a head gasket issue. So check the coolant for oil and when you start the car up, make sure that that its cold and hasent been running for a while. You will get a better idea on the condition of the engine ie: burning blue smoke or valve tick...

GL!!! You'll love the Subaru!

Are you talking JDM or USDM?

Lol get a GC8 JDM, it came awd turbo from Japan and non turbo here, plus they are cheap/reliable

I'm not just saying that because I have 2 for sale :)

GC8 ftw! Great looking cars, reliable, and light as hell. Can't go wrong.
