Dont stretch your budget if you have a baby on the way...

Would you want auto or manual with the mrs and baby in mind?

Your best bet would be either an MY06 WRX Hatch for $20-$24k or a MY06 Forrester for $22-$26k.

Drive them both and work out which one you would rather drive. They both are different in driving positions etc. Also check for visability out the back of both when reversing.
