Default MY04 or MY05

Hello everyone,new to the forum,got a few questions

Thinking of buying a scooby new(wrx),
would i be better off getting the my05 or try and get a decent discount off a my04 model?
Servicing costs,if i buy a '04 ,3years free,if not what am i looking at for servicing costs(do less than 10k per year)?
MPG on average?
Insurance,best place(old fart,36,18yrs no claims,clean license just)?
Common faults with the cars?
Have got a 02 Astra Turbo and a Ducati 748r at the moment and would have to get rid of both for the Scooby(missus doesn't like the bike!!)so don't want to make the wrong decision,have also been looking at an Evo 260,so any constructive would be most helpful,
cheers

not that big a difference in 04 to 05 but scooby's lose money faster than Maxwell

You spend money on Modding a Scooby like cash is going out Fashion.

Evo is the better track car but very Raw, IMHO the Scooby is cheaper to run and easier to live with on day to day. a fast shooping car if you want a Fast newage, go for the lighter Spec C.

Dont over look the evo - seen an advert the other day for Del miles evo 260 for £19,995.
Put a full HKS exhaust on like the (MR range) & you can get 300BHP!!

Yes but you end up with a poor relation Evo that has 5 gears and a £1900 bill if you want a proper size spoiler
