2000-2001 the GC6 was still available, same body style, but it now has a SOHC 2.5. The SOHC and DOHC have similar peak numbers, but the SOHC has a better power curve and is slightly faster. The SOHC also doesn't have the famous head gasket problems of the DOHC.

2000-2001 also had the GM6. That's still the same body style you want, but 4 door sedan. They have the SOHC 2.5 too.

2002-2003 was the GD6. That's the new body style 4 door sedan, like the WRX, but with the SOHC 2.5

2002-2003 also had the GG6. That's the New body style wagon with a SOHC 2.5, like my car.

2004+ Still has the GD6, but it's the new body style with the different headlights. Same old SOHC 2.5

2004+ also still has the GG6, but the new body style with the new headlights. SOHC 2.5 again.

The 2002+ is a bit heavier than the 98-01, but the 2002+ chassis is also about 250% stiffer than the 98-01

what body style do i have. i have a 1997 impreza brighton 2dr coupe?
