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.

You're an idiot. Have you ever had a 2.5rs? Ever driven one? Know anything about them other than a quick google search on power numbers? Know anything about the aftermarket for them? How about the demographic that owns them?

They are pretty quick - awd, lightweight, good body design - "exclusive". and if you want to bump the power you buy a wrx clip for 2k and drop it in. The interior is plug and play with a wrx or sti. They have an incredible sound, they're reliable.

The op never said he was looking for high hp super street racer, nor did he say he wanted a junky fanboy nissan.

If your friend wants something quick that no one will have I suggest a 5sp 97-99 subaru legacy 2.5gt. Same thing as the 2.5rs, but with leather and other luxuries.
