still doing the numbers to buy a WRX and keep my XTerra.. Quick question - how are WRX owners finding their cars as far as maintenance?? Anything problematic, expensive etc??

Thanks in advance!

No problems yet. It's a great car. It will last you a long time.

Perfectly happy here. The only issue I have with it is that it sometimes wants to pop out of gear when rolling downhill slowly in 1st. I will bring it up to the service manager when I bring it in for my 15,000 mile service, which is ~2,000 miles from now.
