I've been there and done that (before you even found NASIOC apparently) and I know better. Oh, and calling it a "sport oriented car" is hilarious.. it's a hammer.. you've obviously never actually driven a sports car.
Yeah, you hit a point where you grow up and the STi no longer makes sense. Hell, I've got an 04 and with my commute I feel it's wasted on me. I've autocrossed it (Loads of fun), but I can have the same ifnot more in a slower car. Driving a slow car fast is arguably more fun than a fast car slow.

The entire car/experience becomes a waste. Waste of gas, the hard/rattle suspension gets annoying, maintenance, etc. For what? It never sees a race-track making the entire affair pointless. I went through this relevation last year. I know udnerstand why people complain about hard suspensions, why people want comfortable cars etc. It caters to the 99.9999999999 percent fot eh time you're NOT on a track.
