First Manual Car.

I am 15 and getting my license in a few months and I would like to have my first car be manual, but I don't know what I should get. I am learning to drive on automatics, and they're fun, but I like the idea of having a manual since they seem much more fun to drive. The thing is, I live in a very hill area (Portland Metro area), and we also get a lot of rain. This vehicle would be my first car and first manual. I've been looking at 2013-2015 WRX's, and 2004-2015 Impreza WRX's. I like the regular WRX's because they're AWD and I think have hill assist, which would be a plus because of the hilly conditions.

Any opinions on which one would be best?

Thank you!
