2.0i - SOHC & 101kw 2.0R - DOHC & 121kw. They also added a few extras as standard; 17's, climate control, fog lights to name a few.
Be aware though, my opinion may be a little biased
I'm with Kormoran on this... hahaha maybe I'm biased too...
I'm not a person that's fussed with 0-100km/h times, just a car that sounds goood and handles well. And the 2.0R does just that. In WA, a reasonably good conditioned 2.0R will range around $14,500 - $17,000
Below car has been gone for quite some time now... blew bottom end bearing and dealership screwed me! Now driving 2008 WRX with ~65k kms on the clock. Only has cat back exhaust and tune by KiDo at the moment! More to come... but slowly!
Purchased recently (12/11/2013), already with: Stage 2 Pedders lowered springs, rear Whiteline sway bar, Advan Racing TCII 18x8 wheels, k&N pod filter, custom 3" exhaust system from turbo back with Magnaflow mufflers. ECUTEK tune of some sort (hopefully soon to be fixed)..... now FIXED!! Now KiDo Tuned!
Added: HID kit, EZ lip equivalents to the front and sides, and various LED treatments, oem boot spoiler, [LGT WRC] plates, GFB Respons BOV for extra Pssscchhh! --> Gone... I couldn't afford it's heart transplant... but keep a look out, as it will come back on sale soon!
