Default Need some car advice

I've got an Impreza STi... the one in my signature below, and its a great car, starts everytime, goes well enough and puts a smile on my face when I take it out for a blast. I bought it when I got pissed off spending money on old cars. BUT Its not that special, it feels like just another car really.

I had an RS Turbo a couple of years back and although that was nowhere near as quick as the Scoob, it felt better to drive with the old skool torque-steer and raw bean-tin driving experience etc...... I'm currently thinking about changing the Impreza cause I've had it over a year now, done about 9k miles in it from when I bought it new and like I say, I'm not totally 'into' it like I was with the RS.

I know that I'm lookin back with rose tinted goggles on at my RS Turbo and that I dont remember the numerous times the thing never started or went tits up cause of some small niggly problem..... but I'm considering another RS.

Always wanted a 2WD Saph, Escort Cossie or 3dr Cossie. I dont want anything mentally tuned.. something around 300-320bhp would be all I'd want.. would a Cossie be a reliable enough car at these levels, providing its been well looked after and all the supporting mods have been done to support the BHP upgrade. I dont mind the odd wee problem here and there, but not wanting to get out of a reliable 2007 car into a car thats going to shit bottom ends, turbos and boxes left right and centre every few 1000 miles.


Cheers,
Grant
