My dad has the manual R-B and from the short drive i've had (bastard wont let me in it very often )it feels real nice. Gearbox is awesome, suspension feels good, brakes are fine, comfort is great.

The engine is REAL torquey compared to the rex but it just doesn't have the punch. I couldn't handle it to be honest, its a totally different drive. I could get used to the leather seats, 13 speaker stereo, sunroof etc but it's just not as good to me...

Joe, that is the smartest comment in this thread

Go an 06 STI with that some PHAT oz's sitting on the sills!

Or go the 3.0R and whack on a supercharger for some buzzing love!

If you want cheap insurance with turbo power and bigger than 2 L , have you considered the Forester XT?

go the 06 Sti dude, i'm sure you'll be able to work out a decent price for it with one of the dealers and in the end it'll be a hell of a lot more fun
