    first of all:

    what you whant: Sporty? Economic? luxury?
    Do you have any insurance limitations?
    Are you doing alot of milles?
    Do you need a car with low running costs or you have no problem with that?

    As which cars you mentioned, it looks like you need a proper 4 door rocket :D.

    Evos will be expencive to maintaine + drinks petroll like russian submarine.

    Subaru legacy is a lovely lovely car, thought get a proper remapped one, or you will end up with a pile of boxer engine bits in your palm.

    I would suggest you an honda accord type-r, its non turbo, but has plenty of power,honda reliability,cheap insurance. So it means easyer maintance.

    Go to the UK and get a diesel VRS!! Same power as the 1.8t I think, more torque and way better on fuel, cheaper insurance too!
