reinspired!!!
I would have gone with the STi because of its AWD, reflashable ECU, LSD on all 3 diffs, already comes turbo'd and can make way more HP with stock block before you need to build. I loved my boosted TC but once you reach the limits of stock components it starts to get pricey with EMS, LSD, clutches, and stronger internals. Also, spinning 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear got kind of annoying. Idk this is just my opinion but in the end do what makes you happy.

i mean simple if you are willing to dump all that money on a 30k plus car go ahead lol dont expect to mod anytime soon when u have a 500 car note,high insurance,and god knows if anything breaks due to your mods have fun with that
I bet if you checked insurance rates on a Sti you won't find much of a difference between it and a tC..just
because the car has better performance and a higher price tag does not neccessarily influence the insurance

It is a noticeble difference between both cars. Now if the Tc was considered a sports well there won't be a difference.
Forget the sti get a Caliber srt4
stock block will get you 500+whp I'm putting down over 300whp with just a intake down pipe and bigger front mount on stock boost (8psi). Can't hold this mini van down lol

When I had my tC, it was under my parents name and I was a secondary driver for it. I now have my own insurance policy for my WRX, and it's almost $100 a month less than the tC was, and that was taken out when I was 23. I even checked older STI's and WRX's and they all came out significantly cheaper than the tC, under multiple insurance carries.
wow thats crazy i just called up my agent at state farm and he said it would be 40 dollars more a month for full-coverage on brand new STi
anyway OP your tC is probaly paid for or almost done i assume whats the point of jumping right into more payments for under 5 to 6k you can buy a turbokit and get suspension off classfeilds
shoot Dezod S1 kit is i think 3.8k brand new full system and great power on just 8psi
