I know that for '06 they went to the Variable valve timing and increased the horse power rating to 173. I know just about everything about the 2.5 Turbo used in the STi and Legacy GT, but nothing anymore about the 2.5 non turbos. Is there anything to worry about? Piston Slap, or external head gasket leaks? I'm looking at consolidating two cars into an '06 Impreza 2.5i wagon. Thoughts?
