If you end up going with a WRX, don't do any major mods to it. Stick to bolt-on suspension stuff, Stage 2 on the engine, and maybe brakes. Making a WRX the performance and reliability equal of an STi costs more than buying one up front, so don't try to get too grand with it.

For what you want to do, an STi is clearly what you're looking for, but the entry price issue is understandable. Just use a WRX as a bridge to getting there when you can afford it in a few years.
