Probably more expensive. It's a twin-turbo, and it's generally regarded as more of a performance 'sportscar' than a subaru.

Probably yes, but it depends how well you continue to maintain it going forward, how hard you drive it, how well it
was maintained, and how thoroughly you had it inspected before you purchased it.

Yep, compared to an MR2 it's a piece of cake.

It depends a lot on exactly what 'yota comes out with. Gossip says it won't be nearly as capable as the MK4. If the gossip is accurate, the MK4 will hold its value for a long time - maybe forever (i.e. maybe it'll eventually be a 'classic' collector car, along the same lines as a hemi cuda).
