I was looking at a DC5 integra, but I opted against that. I've started to look at Impreza's and wanting an experience of a Turbo.

My budget is £7000, excluding Insurance. I looked at some WRX's and noticed you can get a decent blob eye for £4500ish and a decent hawkeye for £5500ish. I then decided to look at STi's. You can pick a decent one up for £6500-£7000. Here is my dilemma. My insurance quote is merely £30 difference between the two even though im only 23. (£980 for the WRX and £1010 for the STi.

Would you A) Purchase a WRX and modify it with say, a stage 1 package and brake or B) Just buy an STi outright?

I know insurance will be more on the WRX declaring modifications, so surely it would make sense to merely buy an STi right? I quite like the look of the Blobeye STI, and Im very tempted by its practicality and performance.
