If you can swing it, get the STi. There's an extremely long list of people that bought, modified, and then took a big loss on a WRX so they could buy an STi. The 2.5L is worth it for the extra power and the 6 speed is bullet proof just in case you decide to every go big. You can make a WRX faster than a stock STi easily and cheaply, but once you factor in the brakes, drivetrain, and other minor upgrades, the STi makes more sense for anyone thinking of modifying and/or racing a Subaru.

Unfortunately most older WRX's have been beat on. But if you could find one that has been properly driven and cared for, and don't go beyond stage II, you should be set for less money than an STi.
