All Imprezas are AWD. I don't think you'll find any other mitsu's for the amount you're looking at, except the FWD lancer or possibly a FWD galant

My bad... but it goes back a ways into the past of being at least over 75% of the cars having AWD... Anyway, I second the vote for the AWD Eclipse.

My dad has a 95 GSX. Great cars unless you don't know how to drive.

DSM's have the notorious reputation for breaking a lot. Truth is, take care of the car, just like any other car and you'll be just fine. especially if you bought the DSM brand new. Another reason why they have a bad reputation is usually people buy them used and they have no idea how the car was treated before.

There are a lot of 16 year old kids out the beating the ***** off these poor cars.

My dad took his 95 GSX out to 200K miles, two cluthes, and mostly orignal everything else. The car is in great shape other than normal wear and tear from 200K miles.

He just had the motor built, t3/t4 turbonetics turbo, hardpipes, 3 inch exhuast, port and polish, the list goes on. Stil hasn't gotten it back yeat, but should be hell of a car.

Basically all I'm tryin g to say is if you buy a DSM used look it over thourughly and chances are, the car has been beatin the **** out of. I know it's not possible, but buy a DSM brand new, take care of it and you'll be perfectly fine. Any car is going to have problem when beaten on, it's just DSM are beaten on so harshly, they stick out.

Again, if you decied to get a DSM, select it wisely. They can be awesome cars, and acctually not break.
