The better motor 2.0 or the 2.2 ?

I'm looking at the Impeza wagon , but mostly want to know which is the most
desirable ( reliable ) motor. I've owned all 1.8 & had much luck with them
all. Other than the exhaust's, all were good. I would like to find a wagon
( impreza ) . We had lately bought a 2005 Imp. RS wagon , now it's my turn.
But much older of a car, I go to places where I don't want to worry about
dings & things ..
But to make things short , I'm concerned which is the better motor, 2.0 or
2.2 , this is very important to me . Because that means I'll be able to sell
my 1.8 loyale to buy an upgrade. Yahooo ! Thanks for all your help .

 

I've had 2.2L in the first generation Legacy and liked it very much
(the car, the engine
AND the transmission). The car felt more like the late Mazda Protege
I've subsequently
bought than the couch on wheels that the late impreza became. It was
convenient
to use (it had the lock on the rear gate for example, and the seats
were wonderful
and the wheelbase was relatively short. It was about 200-300 lighter
than the current incarnation. The only thing I hated were the automatic
seatbelts and the 90/10 front to rear torque split. I think no matter
if you find 2.0 or 2.2 Impreza you may like it more than your 2005 RS.
I hate to say it, but the first generation Legacy had much more sport
in it than my 05 Outback "Sport". Early Imprezas must've been similar.
