mine has done 140,000 on std wrx engine, just modded a couple of months ago and engine still seems to be fine, though I chose my wagon as hoprefully being standard and boring I thought it may have had an easier life.
As mentioned, if you want a bit of extra performance later, get and STI if funds allow.
you will have circa 280bhp out the box and around 330 to 350 once mapped and lightly modded, it took a lot more to get my WRX over 300bhp. You will have a bottom end and gearbox that should be good over 400bhp. WRX gearbox and engine are starting to stress at 330bhp.
I wished I started with an STI now, instead of trying to turn mine into an STI!
