I do like the look of those nurburgring editions.

So what does stage 2 / 3 get you out of these beasts? Heard some great sounding focus & VXR's around my way. pops on the overrun. love it.

Keep the impreza mate.

If the mrs isn't bothered about what she drives then get her a reliable runner. Getting a thirsty hot hatch will leave you frustrated after the scoob IMO. You'll miss the power and grip and you'll probably have a bigger fuel bill from an ST anyway. At the end of the day you're changing to a lesser car that'll cost you more.
