I was in your situation with my 1994 wrx type ra spent a fortune on it in 4 year it had 3 gearbox`s 3 clutches so most of the time i used my girlfriends car so i decided to buy a newer car, my girlfriends uncle had a fq340 tuned to 415 bhp it was an ausome car but it was also 1 of the most uncomfortable cars i`ve sat in. a firend of mines brother had fq360 and told me every time he took it out and gave it a thrashing it had to go mitsubishi constant problems with cluth, flywheel,rear diff and drive shafts. so i had a think and decided on a wr1 and i can honestly say its the best car i`ve driven and can say that i have gave it a few good thrashings since february and it has never gave me any caus for consern, stick with a subaru at the end of the day you can`t see it from the inside.
