Yes i have a 2012...274 hp,10 year warranty,every option imagineable,one of the best looking cars on the road in my opinion...with that being said would i trade it for my Z?Never,would i have one as a family hauler yes


I think the key selling point was the 4 cylinder turbo engine,we average about 450 miles to the tank,also has a Eco mode for city driving,great gas mileage for a family sedan thats almost as quick as my Z,oh yeah and do not forget it takes regular fuel not premiuim

I mean the cars you mentioned are decent but I wouldn't consider any of them sports or performance sedans. I do think the optima turbo is a good option though but would still opt for the WRX first.
This was my first choice however cabin space was a concern,plus only a manual transmission,the new wrx or sti sedan was a first option...no auto killed the deal
