Your best going for a newage STI, If you get less you will regret it imo ?? You will end up modding a lesser car to sti standard, >> I did this with my last car a Classic uk , I spent loads on it to try and better it. Then I got a STI and Ive spent thousands on it ,???? were do we stop ?? lol. now its for sale , But more than you want to spend , Good luck with your search.

You will soon find out that if you want one to thrash youll need deep pockets or a petrol refinery in your garden!!!

STi 6, STi 6 Type RA (V-Limited if you can find a good low mileage) otherwise a nice clean 2003/2004 STi for the top end of 12k but expect average mileage.
