I'm with you, 500hp + but fuel economy here is a bit of a concern so yes something in between 300-500hp and she's the one who need it to be a little sporty also.
Just don't get something that will run circles around the rides here built with lottso sweat and cost mucho roberto dinero.
Get a Saab there are some good deals out there now. GM parts on the drivetrains. There won't be much of a resale on them though.

anyone know if these cars really start having issues at a certain mileage, or if they can go 150K+ miles like most modern cars if maintained correctly? A low 12 second car that seats 4 for under $30K...............
Like a lot of cars I think they can easily nickel and dime you to death once you get up there close to 100k. I've spent time on the MB forums and I don't think there are many 05 models near 150k miles.... I would not own one without the ext warranty. One trip to the Stealership can easily cost you $1000.

That is funny, but if you do get a ricer I like these. The 2011, 2012 WRX have the wide body like the STI but they are a little more tame. I almost bought one but wife said I was to old.
