After all my dithering about, trying to decide what to get, and driving a 1.8 Focus (which was actually very good - for sale if anyones interested 
) Ive ended up with this. I was initally after a convertible (Z4, S2000, 330), but decided it wasnt for me. Plus, this fits my budget nicely.
Its a (in one breath) metallic black 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Type UK with the Prodrive Performance Pack. Havent had that much of a chance to drive it properly, but all I can say is that its seriously quick. Its got a Milltek exhaust instead of the Prodrive Scorpion system. I have to say that its one of the best examples Ive seen. It is literally immaculate. Perfect interior and exterior. It has brand new Pilot Sports, its had the big £1000 service (inc cambelt) 500 miles ago, a 3 month warranty (I bought it from the Stratstone dealership - a Cadillac and Corvette garage of all places) and they refurbished the wheels (as well as give it a full valet), which didnt really need it apart from a couple of minor scuffs. I got all this, plus 12 months road tax and a full tank (mats and flaps were already on there) for £11700. I paid a couple of hundred over the odds, but I felt that this car was worth it. Im still amazed at the condition.
Also worthy of a mention is my insurance quote from A Plan. I got insured through them with Markerstudy. Im paying £700 fully comp with a £350 excess. £50 windscreen damage, DOC cover, free legal cover, european cover, and a like for like courtesy car. Not bad for a (just turned) 25 year old.
