They are quick in a straight line but stock suspension for dry surface handling is kinda piggish. Dirt roads are ridiculous in it though, and it felt like a car that I could drive every day.
Be warned that the enthusiast community for Subarus, at least around here, is made up of a high percentage of people-that-really-get-annoying kinds. Which is why I would be looking for a 944 Turbo- just to keep it in the family.

I will up your WRX with a Saab 92X Aero. A WRX with better looks and none of the ricer / racer owners. Quieter interior and they are priced a few thousand less than a comparable Subaru. My Saab is the basic Linear but its equally capable of going down logging roads with my kayak on top as it is pulling up to a customer meeting. The best of both worlds IMHO.
Out of the original picks, I would go with the e36 M3 but I would want mine as the 4 door.
