Differences between models

[JAC Wagon]

So I have been kind of kicking the idea around of getting a late 90's imprezza just to build as a rally toy. Offroading, dirt roads, sandy beaches that sort of thing.

This got me looking into what models are what, and I was confused at first. So here is a bunch of info I found on the web.

Figured we could start this here and if the info is good enough, make it a sticky in each section. subaruforester.com does something similar to this and it helped me out when shopping for my 01 Forester S.

Edit: Found this so far...
