I can say that the subarus are more fragile when modifying, and not as easy to work on.

I would probably purchase whatever i could find at a reasonable price with lower miles. Mileage is a pretty important factor (less time to beat on it and do damage by modifying without tuning)

That being said I sold my STI today and I am gong to pick up an EVO tomorrow.

 

Yeah, that is my mindset right now. One day, I'd like to have both. And a new 5.0 Mustang. Anybody want to lend me some money??
