Lightbulb Other Non-Impreza Suggestions...

Starting to get sick of waiting for a good 2005 widetrack STI to come up so my mind is wandering elsewhere now. Any other suggestions?

Recent history;
MK5 Golf R32
2005 Impreza STI Widetrack
Astra VXR Nurburgring (shudder )
Civic Type-R EP3 (x2 )

Starting to look at the R32 again, relatively slow and heavy but very well equipped and comfy leather plus sounds nice with the V6. Also handy with the Haldex (part time AWD). Not sure on the GTI Ed 30.

If no imprezas come up this Easter weekend Im considering a local R32 for sale. Any other sugestions?

Focus St s3 and make sure you look at 07 onwards 335 its just as quick as the slightly earlier inline 6 m3 but cheaper fuel/insurance and more kit .Its also a bit of a sleeper and I think got a bit more class.If you don't mind the running cost and stupid idrive system then the v10 m5 is silly cheap.P.S the manual 335 doesn't have the s**t Idrive just the auto.

Some good suggestions already, how about to add to them:
350Z, Evo 9, S4 or DC5 Integra.
Or just buy a cheap run around whilst you wait for the STI Widetrack.
