Basic Impreza info needed

[turbotastic]

I'm new to Subaru's I don't even have one yet.
I'm after any basic make and model information, eg: What MK's year ranges are, Power figures, things to look out for when buying, the difference in mports and UK spec's etc.
I was hoping to find a load of sticky threads but haven't.

I'm currently interested in a V reg, Impreza. I know its not an STI or WRX, its just says 2000 Turbo AWD. What Mk is this, and whats the standard power figures?

Any help much apprieciated.

Right then a Turbo 2000 AWD is a uk Classic

All STI and WRXs in the classic shape are imports

2000 onwards the bugeyeyou could buy wrx and stis as uk cars

Thanks guys. Very helpful.
I was thinking for a moment that the non WRX/STI's were An RB5. But then I read there were only 444 of them made.

The non turbo are called SPORT.
The RB5 was built to commemorate Richard Burns WRC title

Thanks. I read about it being a Richard Burns LE.
I've read through all of the links you supplied. The last one doesn't apply as the vehicle I'm currently looking at it damaged any way.
I still haven't found any thing about the MK's. Going on my limtied knowlege, I'm guessing the v reg, which is the same shape as the RB5, is a MKII. Is that correct.
You say the n/a's are called a sport, Is the 2000 Turbo AWD called any other name? I've seen GLX mentioned a few times.

Hey dudes, my first post here, The GL and GLX where the very basic models, the sport was the 2.0 Non turbo model and the UK 2000 was as it says UK model turbo 2.0 Jap imports include, WRX,STi, 555, P1 and 22b. Uk models included Turbo 2000,RB5, Colin mcrae, and some other special editions

hope this is a little help

the MK on scoobs is actually a version on classics, then on new age not sure how there labeled tbh lol, you can tell the difference by going on MY which stands for Model year.

A V reg will either be a MY99 spec (version5) or a MY00 (version 6, mine is a version 6 on a V plate) according to when it was regestered.

Classic, version 1 - MY94 (known as pre-facelift)
Classic, version 2 - MY95 (pre-facelift)
Classic, version 3 - MY96 (preface-lift)
Classic, version 4 - MY97 (some are facelift, some not)
Classic, version 5 - MY98- MY99 (Face lift)
Classic, version 6 - MY00- MY01 (face lift)
Bug eye, - MY01- MY02
Blob eye, - MY03- MY05
Hawk eye, - M06 (current model)
