From transfering from 370z to a WRX, I feel you've taken a step backwards and will regret the change, the WRX simply isn't a sports car, Nissan Altima Sport V6 would have been a better all around car, if you make the choice for more room.

The car simply looks to much like an AWD Toyata Corolla with 2.4 L motor, not any real sports car styling to it.

Now if you are into 4 door, AWD rally cars and tearing up back country dirt roads, then the WRX is a good choice, although I would prefer a 4x4 mini truck, with a good suspension and engine for that type of driving.
