Running costs will be a good bit less than an scooby im sure.

Not much about then really.

Unless you went Evo / RX7 but it would cost you more!!!

What about an M3.....early 3.0L 5speed one?

would the servicing cost for an early M3 and an Impreza not be about the same?

I'd go for the Corrado.

or a Sierra Cosworth
