There is nothing wrong with a 2l WRX or an '04 STI if that is what you have the budget for. I beat the snot out of an '02 WRX for years.
Spend less than you can afford would be my suggestion and save the extra for repairs or nestegg for the next purchase.
Only minor issues with the '04 STI, which I have, is the front wheel bearings and wheel clearance/sizes/options. The price difference is not typically much for the same mileage which is why I said '05+.
