welcome mate, if you looked at a 54 plate stretch that little bit further and get an 05 sti, while some people might disagree they tweeked the 05 model just silly little things but it is slightly better i read up alot before i got mine, hope this helps

Definitely 05 if you can stretch

Spec C geometry,
DCCD-A,
Enlarged hubs,
RE070's,
Better dials (I think).

Hell, for £16k you might get an 06 Hawkeye STi, but certainly a WRX. My mate just got one for £16.5k from a main dealer. 05 is a certain at that money.
