Rear shocks are the only real weakness.
Any reason why you're opting for UK car as opposed to JDM?

Jdm is better car as that's what I bought but uk car has the burble that some can't do without, jdm not easy to find either took me over six months to find mine but was worth the wait, uk car still good though in my05

I agree the widetrack 2005 UK STI is probably the most rounded UK STI. I know what you mean about the lack of JDM cars, but worth the search

From my experience with this 2002 Bug, have a good look at the front subframe to make sure it's not too rusty. I believe the later cars are better, but you never know:
