i would only buy an sti! i have a v limited sti type ra and it has features that an wrx(non sti) doesnt. it depends what you want. the ra will be lighter but not as high tech.i dont really like the bug eye or blog. get an sti type RA the later models have more comfort and gadgets and will be quicker because of less weight and close ratio gearing.if you dont want the striped out rally feel then get the latest sti

As a Grade IV STI6 is only worth ¥1,300,000 (£6,435); then Id say that the example you mention is ridiculously over-priced.
