I'd budget for £50-£60 per week on SUL/V-Power with that mileage and type of driving... I'm not sure you'll get massively more MPG than that and if you get addicted to the loud pedal then that average MPG figure will drop very quickly.

110% agree with this.. unless you need a wagon, given the small price difference and assuming insurance isn't an issue, you'd be crazy to go for a WRX rather than an STi.

I also agree with this, I've had a few 99/00 UK Turbos and if you can get a good one these days then it'll be a fantastic point to point car for very little money.
