Only you can make the decision.. an s2k is a totally different kind of car. Kinda gives me a die if we crash feeling in my friends. Subaru's however are quite safe, great in nasty weather, sound amazing, and are good with insurance. Atleast over honda's by my insurance company

I think the STi has the most tuning potential out of all 3...if you plan on leaving it stock then I guess it is just a personal preference.

You're kidding right...?

Anyways, as far as choosing between those three cars, it depends on what you're looking for. Reliability, comfort level, daily driver, etc. Go take them out for a test drive and see what you think for yourself. This is a STi forum so of course you'll have biased opinions here.

If i buy a used one it might not be stock but later on i want to add things such as a bigger turbo, do you think if im planning to mod it i should get a basic wrx instead of an stiif i go the rex route...
i will use this as a DD but maybe take it to the track or rall eventually i love rex for rally

NO, because the STi drivetrain (tranny, cluch, and diffs) are much stronger than what you get in the WRX.

decided upon the pros and cons of each vehicle.

sti,evo = 4 doors and awd
s2k = not so much, other than the VTACK! lol
