Like what?
must be AWD
must have more than 200bhp as standard
must be reliable

None of that was in the original brief when you posted this thread. You've quoted a snippet of something I posted before you narrowed the options considerably. But hey, if you think you've got to make someone look stupid on the internet then bully for you. I stand by my post, but you moved the goalposts afterwards.

Gotta say i did have an Subaru Sti

Granted it was super quick it had been modded quite a bit, nothing outside, just more under the bonnet. The only clue to the big power was the intercooler at the front which also was not over the top.

However i have to say, it did look a bit Chav and all the Chav's loved it..... i had to sell it!

Too much bad attention, even though it was a very quick car.

Excuse me?

Then I quoted him (without realising what he had done), all I was doing was clearly marking out MY requirements

Celica GT-Four st205:
clap

Closest I've seen to an example of the claim above so far. Certainly not 'thousands' though!

_Alternative to rally-rep?/_ Well it is another rally-rep, but I agree they were meaning Impreza/Evo so will give you that one.
_As much fun to drive?/_ Slower and duller as standard but easily modified.
_Better equipped/more comfortable?/_ Similar equipment level, perhaps slightly softer suspension, much less practical - I've sat in (across) the back of a Celica and wouldn't want to repeat it!
_Cheaper to buy/insure/fuel?/_ Buy/insure I'm in the wrong country to comment but expect similar thirst to a WRX.
_Better screwed together?/_ Being a Toyota you expect it to be solid, though to be honest I've never had any complaints about Subaru build quality either.
