Default Looking for a 3rd Gen WRX Hatch. What to look for and where?

Howdy All
Russ here, back in Perth in a months time.
Had a MY06 Wagon last time around, for a couple of years, and loved it to bits.
I'm on the lookout for a 3rd Generation wagon, so thats 2008 on I think?
I understand the 1st year (Up to MY2009) of the Gen 3s were a little softer on the road. Is that correct?
Are they still worth a look?

I will be using this as a company car, with moderate to enthusiastic driving. (Harder on weekends) Track use unlikely.
My last Rex went thru a set of tyres in 18,000 kms, so its fairly enthusiastic driving.

I understand the nice models had leather and Sat-Nav. Neither of these really interest me.
What should I look out for?
What should I stay away from?
Very keen to hear your thoughts.

I'm in town in a month, so will be looking then, preferably for a white hatchback/wagon. Keen to hear any PMs.
Yes $$ are an issue, no its not a limitless budget. Stock is a bonus.

Have had a quick look thru PWRX sale yard. Otherwise I assume Gumtree and possibly (Gulp) dealers? Any other places worth a look to buy?

Any help or suggestions happily taken.

Thanks
Russ
