u will regret it i think,i was a die hard subaru fan for years until i did alot of research and discovered they arnt that great unless u are willing to spend alot of cash to improve alot of things.overall the sti model is much better than the wrx.the weak points of the wrx non sti model is:weak driveline (gearbox and diffs etc).the engines themselves on both models arnt real reliable and do struggle if ur wanting to run more power.they over heat easy and love blowing head gaskets.the improvements that alot of people do to the non sti models is replace it with sti components which arnt cheap.alll in all if u want a 4 door get a 4 door skyline.a much more reliable car,cheaper to modify,and much stronger all round.if u want 4 wheel drive buy a gtr.just my 2c
