93 - 95 JDM WRX's to 1rst year U.S./Can models

[jazzician]

I was looking at WRX's in Japan and have friends that are importing other cars from Japan and was considering picking one up. The only concern is that there are radical (ie: drivetrain) differences between the two models (JDM / U.S-Can) that would make repairs really difficult and just not worth considering picking up a JDM model. I was thinking of a 95 JDM Model and I believe there is a 95 US model so besides the right hand drive thing and everything that goes with that, I was wondering what other differences anyone has found. Is the body style the same?

 

thx,
