I wouldn't buy a 2002 or 2003 WRX, period. Mostly because I don't like bugeyes! But the drivetrain just isn't very good in my opinion. The EJ20 has some serious faults with regards to modding, and the transmissions aren't very good. But like I said, there have been incremental improvements every year, and as it is now I wouldn't be overly concerned about buying a new WRX, gearbox and all.
