Go for it! A very logical replacement for the Contour, as it is a sports sedan with the ability to carry four passengers and still provide tons o' driving fun. One thing I noticed about the Impreza line, though, is that the back seat is very cramped -- even compared to the Contour. The wagon is a litle bigger in back, and if you can put up with the goofy looks, is a real stealth mobile. These are great cars that are as good as their reputation.
The STi has performance that borders on the Super Car category. Great front seats, very nice dash and instruments, awe-inspiring acceleration, and incredible brakes. On the down side, it has ricey appointments (monster hood scoop, huge ironing board wing) and no sound system, so remember to budget for that.
