[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2118051, member: 1132"] I will say that the powerband is more restricted on the 02' and 03' 2.0L engines, unless you replace the downpipe with an "off-road" pipe that deletes the cat and reprogram the ECU. Better yet if you add a cat-back exhaust. The 04' and up 2.5L cars have better low end grunt with the turbo spooling up 500RPM or so sooner. They also have slightly larger front brakes. I think my favorite are the 06 and 07 WRX with the aviator grille. I almost forgot about the timing belt change. Make sure that is done too! [/QUOTE]
