General Comments
The Subaru Impreza WRX STI Type is a very fast car and lots of bang for your buck.
The STI is a very sure footed car and is a great base to modify. Over 300bhp is easily achievable (although mine is standard 265bhp).
Bought from a main dealer who were not very good.

Agree with the majority of that and I'm pleased you are happy with your Subaru!!
I currently have one for weekend fun and it never fails to put a smile on my face. Mine is the UK spec car 04 STI but with quite a few modifications, including wheels, suspension, exhaust, clutch, ECU, etc... Running 348bhp and 356lbft, so it is relatively quick to say the least and very sure footed on the road.
If I was to scale-up my weekend entertainment I would probably have to go along the route of getting a Skyline R34 GTR, Noble M12, Ferarri 430 or Porsche 911 Turbo to make any significant improvement over the Impreza!
It also has 4 doors, a big boot and sounds beautiful.... Shame the stereo is rubbish as standard and the dashboard a bit tacky... Oh well, I listen to the exhaust/engine rather than the stereo!
