yes, lots and lots and lots more,
you'll be lucky to get 15/20 mpg out of either of those, but what a great 20 miles it will be,,

They have a soft engine. though very fast, not all that tough a car. Never mind the petrol costs which I'm sure will be going up again soon .

Don't know, but if you are putting that many miles on it, there will be maintenance ever three years. I personally could get the Impreza without the turbo and see if you may be able to order the 2.5 with single over head cam. This will let you to change the timing belt by yourself and the elimination of the turbo will eliminate future problems with the turbo also as save you lots of fuel. Good luck. I have a 95 Legacy with the 2.2 in it and just don't have any problems. 205K miles.

im selling my import sti8. great car. imports need a high octane petrol plus an octane booster. british cars don't so this can add up. but keep the turbo down and its not too bad. you may average around 22mpg.

Since they're just the same car, your costs will be across the board, with the exemption of fuel cost and of course the 7k difference in car cost . I drive usually city and I am lucky to get 16mpg out of my STi, but that is just the way I drive.

If you planning on keeping it stock, with as many miles as you will be putting on it, I'd go with the standard WRX. The ride is softer.
