I loved having a sti and a cozzie or a cozzie and a evo or a couple
of imprezas,you then can compare them properly.
i have had about 10 imprezas and the best are the STI'S.
my favourite was the Version 2 STI TYPE RA.
mine had allsorts done in JP and was a credit to the geezer who
owned it,i bought it off a rally team who works with PRODRIVE


they can almost be economical and cheapish to service.

never had a estate or one of them awful Gravel Express jobs as selling
them isn't easy
