wotcha and welcome - info on scoobies here and no that import motor you are considering is a peach

Wotcha and welcome - sorry to hear this - does sound like a rebuild / replace is necessary - how many miles on the clock + which transmission oil did you use?
-
got every sympathy with you, did that a few weeks back when someone had parked opposite my drive and I screwed up the turn - refurbed all wheels now and that look spot on

Wotcha and welcome - as above

wotcha and welcome - running on the 99 ron stuff vpower etc will give better MPG and the shell stuff will keep all your tubes clean. There are good quality after market parts for your motor nnow so keeping it on the road will be a lot easier - stainless steel exhaust systems etc taht have lifetime quarantees, given your location might be worth looking at a second set of wheels and having some winter tyres fitted so absolutely no issues all year round
-
Wotcha and welcome - decisions decisions as throughout teh thread - hold out for an STI, bolb will probably be your best option.

Wotcha and welcome - One thing I would say is dont use cheap fuel and keep sticking an additive in every 3 tanks or so - The fuel is getting more an more bio added to it my merc vito was throwing out black gunk from the exhaust, it took a BG products clean cycle then use of additives to sort it out but it all runs a lot crisper now - and no gunk

Wotcha and welcome - feel free to get the camera out

Wotcha and welcome - you may get used to the power (or lack of) quite quickly. but you have the 4wd system so handling will be an improvement over the mazda 3, the FWD and traction control used to fight all the time when we had one and it used to kangaroo around corners then wash out
-
Wotcha and welcome - yup dont be camera shy
