Any Advice? :)

Hi all! I'm considering buying an Impreza Hatchback/Estate 2002-2007 models with the selectable low range for an idea I have. Was looking at 2.0L GX versions, but have seen there is also 1.5L engines?

 

What would a better engine option be, If my idea goes ahead I could be doing over 30k miles in a year probably mostly hard miles too, would the be up for this with a little bit of work? As there usually pretty cheap! What should I be looking out for if I was going to look?

Big plans on a lifted build if it goes ahead! 

 

Thanks! 🙂

Hey, i've recently bought a 2.0L GX myself. I get a lot of stick for it not being a WRX or STi model but i still love it. It still rumbles like it should and i get about 180 miles per tank of petrol with a heavy right foot!

Wow that is a heavy right foot. My Hawk WRX worst is 200 miles.
