QUOTE QUOTE 99-01 impreza 2.5rs Or a late 90's impreza outback. Throw some pencil beams on the front and a set of mudflaps. Rally machine. The 2.5rs are pretty expensive (4-6k generally) and slow as crap. For that kinda money I'd look into a S13 or something. I have a 01 2.5 rs stock (2dr coupe,) its a quick little car (slow as crap? you have never been in one), handling is great (better then my wrx.) I have put almost 60k on mine in the 4 years I've had it, no issues, regular maintanace only. I would highly recommend, well worth the bucks if you can find one! 4-6 k is not much at all for a reliable car. Not to mention they are amazing in snow. as for the eclipse, a friend of mine has a mid 90's talon (same thing) fun car, sick car when fixed up but his motor went few months after he got it. There nice but a lot of work to keep it that way. I would not consider an eclipse for a 1st car, a first car is suppose to be a beater and no thrills cheapo that can take some curbage and bumpage.
