The RS is far more common in 2 door than 4 door, as 4 doors were only made in 2000/20001. Sedans are also more commonly found with automatics unfortunately.
Scott, I would definitely say that the Impreza you'll like best coming from the Miata is an RS. Put good coilovers, wheel and tires on it and it's a great car. Simple bolt-on mods get you in the neighborhood of 180 horsepower, and with a little internal work you can get well over 200 bhp. They're also getting super easy to afford; examples that cost over $10k private party are now as rare as sub-$10k asking prices were a few years ago. If you don't mind a little roughness around the edges, you can find them for $6-7k easily with good solid drivetrains.
