Hi zr boy

Ok, age will be important here as insurance is expensive then servicing may shock you and i won't talk about fuel plus you have the uk car v the jdm (Japanese domestic Market) models (more expensive but better), so it depends what you also want from a car, the sti is the top model and is higher specification and mechanically superior to the wrx in every aspect (handling, performance etc) so take that into consideration when choosing
