lol @ a 1999/2000 UK Impreza Turbo being a fashion accessory in (almost) 2010!!
Money no object, I'd agree with you... but the OP asked if the FRS was going to be
worth the £6,000 extra needed for him to go from the Impreza to the Focus, which I don't think it would be given his list of requirements.

firstly i would have the escort cosworth, secondly were not talkin bout evos which funny enough is the only jap car i think is worth owning an as for reliablity with scoobys, they r just as bad as anythin with an rs badge, pistons made of chocolate an to top it off i could look out my window for half hour an see at least ten scoobies past an 1 frs MAYBE, an a cosworth once in a blue moon so yes imo the frs is 6k more car, if he wants a cheap fast popular car get a mondeo st200
