Forget the pregnancy. I'd be more worried about a potential STI. Thank you and goodnight.
STI?
I'll take one.

eww why the hatchback. At least go sedan!
All STI models after 2007 are hatchbacks. Better aerodynamic performance, and much more practical for carrying stuff. The sedan has been discontinued. If you want a sedan with comparable performance, you need to look at the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO. Or, you could by a WRX Imprezza sedan and then spend another 30K to have it upgraded.
I drive a 2008 STI. Great car in all road conditions.
Not only better aero, closer to 50/50 weight distribution (powerslides aren't fun if you can't control them), stiffer body structure etc.
<-- still driving my bugeye until I finish law school.
I'm very jealous. How do you like it? Have you had any problems with the initial tune?
I have had no problems with the car whatsoever, except that when I ordered snow tires from the tire rack I specified the wrong valve stems. I had to change them out so that they would work with the tire pressure sensors on the STI. But that was not Subaru's issue.
I have owned 4 Subarus and all have been trouble free except for the first one, a 1973 1600DL sedan that just decided to die one day in 1985.
Yes, they changed the body style because Petter Solberg wanted a hatchback for all the reasons you state above.
