i dont really see how they're comparable

also, they're still using that 2.5L turbo-4 that blows up from rod knock even stock
That's the STi. The base WRX uses the FA20, and it's holding up pretty well. The 2.5 is fine if you flash the ecu pretty much immediately after buying. There's a lean spot on spool up to meet emission regs, and it kills that motor fast. Get a good tune on it and it's pretty solid.
