If you were going to daily it, i think you prefer the AP2. You have a nice budget as well so finding a 2004+ model shouldn't be too hard. 2006+ have VSA.
If you were going to track it a lot i would go for the ap1.

at the moment i own a 2006 wrx but iv owned subarus all my life. i really have always liked the s2k but never really went to check one out or even considered buying one. lately iv been getting bored of the 4dr sedan cars and really wanna try an s2k
my main issue is will i be able to use it as a DD? i just moved to annapolis maryland and iv been told it doesnt snow much and if it does it no more then an inch.
just like some input from some s2k owners and car enthusiast.
thanks for the time.

With regards to the DD. I drive mine in Cali everyday. Yes, it rains once every 3 years in SoCal, but even if you have crappy weather its a good car. Purchased a bike rack, since it clearly does not fit in the trunk. They make racks for everything, so DD the shit out of it!

Every person is different so really think about it what you care about / what bothers you.
I daily drove my first AP1. It was definitely possible and done, but it wasn't easy for me personally. Probably sounds stupid, but for me, it started to become a pain to move big stuff, couldn't fit the hamper in the trunk when I did laundry (switched to a bag and had to cram it in), couldn't fit wheels I was trying to sell in the trunk, girlfriend hated it because it was too low/small inside. Grocery shopping wasn't too bad. Snow was tolerable, but I had to keep my spare AP1 wheels with Blizzaks handy.
My second AP1 is much more mint than the previous and from my previous experience, I decided to buy a second daily driver (cheap used Impreza). One other reason why I refuse to daily drive my current AP1 is because people are careless idiots. I can't park at a parking lot or spot because some careless POS will door ding me or bumper check. And because the car is small, a lot of people don't seem to see you when they're switching lanes or turning onto your street.
Don't get me wrong, I love my S and want to keep it forever, but just some food for thought.
