If it's your dream car then that's that, but isn't any turbo Subaru basically the same. My mate's insurance went way down when he switched from a rex to a fozzy even though they had the same engine. I had an 06 Foz that was a great car that didn't suit me.
Sadly they dont make a turbo Subaru any more. Or more correctly, they DO they just dont sell it here. I'd probably be happy enough with a Impreza Turbo. They also dont sell ANY manual cars in aus any more except the WRX and the BRZ. Hell the WRX STI is dead right now till they get a new engine at some undetermined point. Its like they've almost given up on the enthusiast market.
But yes, even in a non turbo Impreza the insurance company still assumed I was gonna wrap it around every tree I saw at 24. Adding my girlfriend at the time dropped it dramatically. Like having a girl in my life was gonna make me settle down or something.
