thanks, bruce.
criteria was simple.. cargo space with rear seat up, 4 door hatch, fuel efficient, regular gas, reliable, and pretty good looks. and for me, since i already have a 2009, a lot of the bits are compatible.
the closest condenders i considered were:
2012 Impreza hatch (not a bad car, availability issues, price on higher end, just didnt care for subaru quality and service historically bad experience)
MS3 (was my original choice but turned out not as good as i remembered from an earlier test drive i did back in 2009, and #2 from most expensive).
Fiesta hatch (didnt like the interior, quite small cargo space)
Focus hatch (just didnt care for this car, im not a ford person)
SonicLTZ hatch (cargo space too small)
GTI 5dr (great interior and all, but pricy, and driving dynamics like a sedan, dealer unwilling to work with price, most expensive).
Juke SV 6MT(great driving dynamics, i liked the character, fun to drive, but cargo space and interior too small)
used STI's... all were either modded or one was in an accident per carfax...didnt feel like paying for new one.. would've gotten one even premium gas.
