i myself am already planning on trading in my 2.2 for an STi. yea, theres a price difference, but who cares.. hehe... as for purchasing a car right NOW, the SS is the better of the 3. Its most affordable, competitive performance, and stunning looks. I hear the SRT4 is top-heavy, which results in a lot of roll-over accidents. And the wrx is really expensive because of the AWD.

 

If I did get a wrx, it would be an '02 or '03. I have found them to run around 16-20k with decent miles on them.

At this point, the only way I would get a wrx is if I cant get the payments down to 350 or so on a ss. I have pretty much narrowed it down to those two.
