Question Rear LSD confirmation for 5spd base Impreza/Legacy and that vs buying newish Subaru.

Quote:
The only Impreza's with rear LSD are all 2000-2001 2.5RS

Other North American Subaru models with LSD, either as standard equipment or available as an option:

* 2001-2003 Legacy (all)
I'm asking because I've decided %100 to buy a Subaru in late may (when my CD is matured).
I love my 95 accord but it has 120k miles and It has only gotten needed repairs for the front stabilizer bar link bolt assembly, new windshield washer pump, and a left axle I just busted ($220 w/ tow at Mobil). Not bad for 12 years. But I'm sick of the bad weather performance, gas mileage (16mpg, traffic/hwy), and the damn torque steer (178 ft-lb, FWD).

My dillema basically is I will have around 28-30g total in my bank by late may and I can buy a Subaru like this one: http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...500&cardist=29
Price
$16,886
Body Style Wagon
Mileage 1,410
Manual Before haggling in upstate NY.

Or I can "save" money and Buy an older one. If I go for an older one I'll probably aim for the Legacy since it is bigger, and of course I may as well choose from 2001-2003 that come with LCDs supposedly.
What do you guys reccomend?

Another question is, will a Rear LSD give me less oversteer than one with an Open Differential, is the bad weather performance noticeable with a LSD?

Thank you!
