I wish I fit in the base Impreza 5 door. Best deal out there. I just wasn't comfortable
Small bore plus large stroke is good for low end torque and good MPG in many cases.
Passing smog doesn't require a long stroke and small bore engine, the GM LS series and current Hemi are oversquare and do fine.
